We don't currently provide a way of gracefully stopping FOP in
mid-process. You could experiment with subclassing RenderPagesModel and
check for a "stop" boolean in addPage() and throw a RuntimeException.

For that you'll also have to subclass AreaTreeHandler. I'll just
copy/paste some code here I once used to play with CachedRenderPagesModel.
I'm sure you can adjust that to your needs.

    private static class MyAreaTreeHandler extends AreaTreeHandler {

        public MyAreaTreeHandler(FOUserAgent userAgent, String outputFormat, 
                OutputStream stream) throws FOPException {
            super(userAgent, outputFormat, stream);
        }

        protected void setupModel(FOUserAgent userAgent, String outputFormat, 
OutputStream stream) throws FOPException {
            this.model = new CachedRenderPagesModel(userAgent,
outputFormat, fontInfo,
                    stream);
        }
        
    }

[..]

                Fop fop = fopFactory.newFop(outputFormat, ua, out);
                
                AreaTreeHandler atHandler = new MyAreaTreeHandler(ua, 
outputFormat, out);
                ua.setFOEventHandlerOverride(atHandler);

Maybe that helps.
