edit pdf info and sending back to Java Application
Hi,
I need to edit a pdf created with FOP and send the information back to Java application. Can I edit the pdf with FOP or is there any better way to do it. Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you,
Madhavi.

Actually after looking at the pdf the client needs to edit, if changes are required and we need to save the changes back to database.

No, FOP doesn't accept PDF documents as input. Can you give more
information about your requirements? Instead of changing the PDF after
the document is created, are you sure you can't generate it the way you
want the first time?

Generally speaking PDF is not an 'editable' file format. The usual
approach is to edit the source used to generate the PDF and then
regenerate the PDF. That said there are some Java toolkits around which
can manipulate PDFs, iText and PDFBox for example. If these are
suitable depends on what you need to do.
Also, FOP is NOT an editor of any sorts. It is a processor which takes
as input a document in XSL-FO format and produces as output a document
formatted according to the instructions in the XSL-FO input. The
document output type can be PDF (probably the most popular) or a
variety of other types supported by FOP.
