Hi Tom, I'm not quite sure I understand what you want to do. You are rendering FO to AT, manipulate the AT and then generate a PDF. I don't think you can render the PDF, then manipulate the AT and rerender the changed nodes into the previously generated PDF. You can of course generate the AT, then manipulate it, then generate the PDF based on the manipulated AT.

I was doing something a bit similar however I did not use the sax result to get a node of the DOM tree and traverse using XPath. I am not sure this will be efficient enough for me as I need to traverse, modify and then render various nodes repeatedly in a very short space of time. I was keen to find a method that would allow me to alter and reevaluate a fragment of the area tree (rerendering that part of the AT using FOP without wasting time, rendering the rest). So I don't suppose anyone knows a way to handle, manipulate and re-render a fragment of the area tree using FOP? I will keep experimenting in the meantime!
