Re: Library for RTF templates and PDF convertion

I'm working on a project that requieres sending letters in PDF with a
customized layout from a web application. The layout templates come
from MS Word and therefore are given in RTF format.

Is there a Java library for
1) Getting data from the application in the RTF template, and

Maybe one step to the solution is to build an intermediate document in a standard document format first.

There are some Java-based RTF readers around (including my ScroogeXHTML converter), but I don't know if there is already a RTF -> XSL:FO converter for Java, XSL:FO would make it 'easier' to convert to PDF.

ScroogeXHTML internally uses a DOM-like structure which could be used to analyze and process the RTF content in a more generic way - including some very advanced properties for international languages, like DBCS, Unicode, and right-to-left text direction. However, it does not understand some more difficult layout elements like tables.
