I am using FOP api with XSL to generate the PDF.

My requirement is to write some text on top of a background image. Any possible way suggested will be helpful.

You should provide more details like is the background full page size or just something smaller. Is the position fixed or does it flow? – Kevin Brown

You can use the background-image property:

<fo:block background-image="image.png">Lorem ipsum.</fo:block>

You can control repetition and position of the image using background-repeat, background-position-horizontal and background-position-vertical:

<fo:block background-image="image.png" background-repeat="no-repeat">Lorem ipsum.</fo:block>

<fo:block background-image="image.png" background-repeat="no-repeat" background-position-horizontal="center">Lorem ipsum.</fo:block>
