Argyn,
Unfortunately this is not possible in a totally generic way. FOP is not a 
page description language in the sense that it can describe every possible 
PDF page.

The nearest you can do is to try to extract either the text or the graphics 
from the PDF and incorporate these in an FO which you develop.

If you want PDF manipulation tools you might want to look at iText (Details 
in the FAQ or these archives, or google).
