pdf-fop?

[Douglas Meil <do...@modeln.com>]

Hi... first time question.

Does there exist a way to transform PDF to FOP?

The reason why I'm asking is that since there aren't any graphical tools to
create FOP files, if one is interested in PDF output (for example), one
could create a template PDF and produce the corresponding FOP and use that
as the base XSL file.

Thoughts?

Hi Douglass,
FOP is a tool which converts xsl:fo to pdf.  As far as I know, there aren't
any tools which will convert pdf back to xsl:fo.  I have also heard interest
in a WYSIWYG editor for generating xsl:fo (which could be used for creating
a template), but again, I don't know of any such tools to date.
