Must agree on this one. Don't know exactly what the intention is, but could
it be
that you want to use FOP to generate one big pdf that needs to be cut
at specific places afterwards? In that case, isn't it possible to chop up
the
task beforehand ( meaning the need to know where the file has to be split
disappears )? Maybe then the xml+xsl -> pdf transformation will be of any
help?
If not, it will at least render you a bunch of loose pdfs that you can
manipulate
with a lib like iText... ( perhaps, the whole lib even suits your needs
better? )

Dunno, just brainstorming...

Hope it helps.

Greetz,
