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. > > Thank you, > Madhavi. > Manuel --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
