ReportLab's commercial products can use PDF files as 'images' - in
'Genuine RML(tm)' you can use a PDF file anywhere you can use a PNG.
We do not intend to give this feature away as it's one of the main
reasons for people to upgrade and buy our software.

However, in the open-source world, the only technique I am aware of is
Dinu's one which uses py2pdf to do some kind of postprocessing of two
PDF files.
