PDF to FO?
If I have an existing PDF file is there a way to convert it to a FO file? I
would like to create dynamic forms but I would rather reverse engineer a PDF
file.
Thanks for any info,
Will
P.S. Having trouble getting on this list - if this is a duplicate sorry!

That's impossible, pdf is lower-level format relatively to fo.

What is XML stream? FOP supports SAX input stream, see examples and
http://xml.apache.org/fop/embedding.html.

No, that's not supported yet. You can embed SVG images in this way though.

You can make any inclusions and transformations at tarnsformation stage using
power of XSLT language.

Generating PDF on the fly using on the fly XML
Posted by joni santoso <st...@plasa.com>.
Hi,
I used to create a servlet that can produce PDF by setting
its contentType.
1. Now, I wonder if I can use Apache FOP to take XML
stream that I created using JDOM to produce a PDF?
How?
2. Is it possible to produce a PDF that only contains JPEG
using XML stream? I am thinking about storing an image
stream in an XML document like this :
<picture>
the stream is here
</picture>
3. What about producing mixed content (image and text) in
a PDF? I know I can use the external link/external file fo
element. But what if the image and text are all created on
the fly?
Thank you,
