Can FOP work backwards?

2011-09-14 Thread Eric Douglas 
I know the intention of FOP is to create PDF, but since FOP did create
the PDF the code should be there to read the PDF.
I want to take a PDF (generated by FOP) and read it back in, to be able
to print it, or to display it in a Swing component.  I already have a
Swing component, if FOP can tell me enough information about what it put
in the PDF and where.

No, FOP doesn't parse PDF.

Check out PDFBox, it has PDF displaying functionality.
