The original FOP project was for transforming XSLFO into a PDF. Then other features were added, to transform XSLFO into other outputs including PCL, image files, and direct printouts. Now there is a new feature to FOP which is most useful to us, to create a PDF by drawing to a Graphics object as if drawing to a screen. The question of where is the API is a bit confusing. The source is on the site (http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/). Old Javadocs are on the web and new ones can be created from the source. AFAIK FOP cannot read in or manipulate existing PDFs. I would suggest trying the pdfbox project for that.

FOP can generate a PDF from XSL-FO.If you just want to build a PDF from another source using Java API then take a look at the PDF Box project. > Looking forward to your reply, thank you very much!
