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

perhaps quite extensive knowledge. PDF is not designed to
provide for that.
