Native PDF Publishing and XSLT

I am exploring native PDF publishing with AEM. Is there a way to modify the content using XSLT before the PDF is created? Or before the intermediate HTML is created? Thank you.

@frameexpert AFAIK AEM does not natively support XSLT transformations directly before PDF generation.

    It is possible to modify content using JavaScript functionality on intermediate HTML  before PDF publishing. Native PDF doesn't have XSLT transformation.


    Some examples of using JS in Native PDF:
    Add Enterprise Branding to the First Page of a PDF
    Use JavaScript to work with content or style

      I don't have any specific use cases yet. My client is currently using an AEM to FrameMaker workflow and we are investigating using native PDF publishing from AEM.
