Has anyone had any experience with using PDF's as input for FOP?

We are using FOP 0.20.5 with Java 1.5.  We have a PDF that was provided to 
us by an outside source.  We would like to leverage the existing PDF (or 
as much of it as we can)  by using it as an input source.  Our goal is to 
modify it with our data, and have FOP generate a new PDF for us, which 
would be a combination of the original PDF and our data. 

>From reading the FAQ's and the mail archives for FOP, it appears FOP will 
only take XML and XSL-FO as input.  So, I am wondering, do I need to use 
some independent PDF to XML conversion tool, or if there is a 
better/easier way to do this?

Thank you for any insight you can offer us regarding this issue.
