Can I generate a .fo file from a pdf file? Essentially going backwards?
If not, does anyone know of a good source for doing that with Java?

Probably not in any realistically useful way. People on this list
can point you to software that can read the text in a PDF. From that
point you could start to construct XML
You could use Adobe Illustrator to read PDF and save as SVG. I have not tried
this and would recommend trying it yourself before buying a copy.

Thanks, I would like to hear about those other

Hi,
I've searched the mailing lists for info on the above error, but couldn't
find anything much on the subject.
Basically, we have a largeish xslt stylesheet (produces roughly a 12 page
document), which contains a table with rows that repeat for however many
times a particular node appears in

You probably have to id=value with the same value. Remember, id values
must be unique across the whole document, not just the element they are used
on.

Of course - it didn't dawn on me that PDF's have everything absolutely
positioned - basically as though it were an image (of course with vector
graphics). Yikes.

What about OpenOffice? The save file is gzipped XML.
