FOP can only redner FO to PDF (and other formats). For manupulating existing PDF documents you have to use other tools. Usually iText (http://www.lowagie.com) is recommended. The iText library is, well, a Java library, you have to build your customized processing tools on top of that. For extracting information from existing PDF you'll need some knowledge of the PDF spec http://partners.adobe.com/asn/developer/acrosdk/docs.html#filefmtspecs perhaps quite extensive knowledge. PDF is not designed to provide for that.
