PDF to XSL-FO

converting pdf to xsl-fo

[eljacko]

I have looked for days to find a program that will convert pdfs to an xsl-fo format. Has anyone got any clues to which program would do this?

I have many which would convert it back.

There are some commercial products by companies like Exegenix, BCL Technologies, or CambridgeDocs that export to XSL-FO. I've don't know anyone who's ever used any. There appear to be a number of other products that will convert PDF to SVG, if that gets you part of the way there.

You should understand PDF is ordinarily intended for use as an output format; you're probably going to lose some formatting and layout data when you do a conversion.

thanks, I shall give them a try, I am trying to extract the pdf into a xsl-fo and then back into a pdf. the second part is easy but the first part is difficult.
