You can set CSS style sheets either by referencing them in your document, setting or adding them using an API method, or inline in your document.

Defining a CSS style sheet in the "style" Section of the Document:

<head><style type="text/css">p { color: red }</style></head>

Referencing an external CSS style sheet using the <link> Element:

<link href="http://someServer/css/layout.css" 
  rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">...</link>

Defining CSS Styles Inline:

<table style="color: red">...</table>

Adding a CSS style sheet Using an API Method:

Java:
  pdfReactor.addUserStyleSheet("", "", "", "http://server/layout.css")
PHP:
  pdfReactor->addUserStyleSheet("", "", "", "http://server/layout.css")
.NET:
  pdfReactor.AddUserStyleSheet("", "", "", "http://server/layout.css")
CLI:
  -s "http://some/layout.css"

Java: pdfReactor.addUserStyleSheet("p { color: red }", "", "", "")
PHP:  pdfReactor->addUserStyleSheet("p { color: red }", "", "", "")
.NET: pdfReactor.AddUserStyleSheet("p { color: red }", "", "", "")
CLI:  -u "p { color: red }"

XSLT style sheets can be set either using an API method, or by referencing them in the document. They can not be specified directly inline as CSS style sheets can be.

Adding an XSLT style sheet using an API method:

CLI:  java -jar pdfreactor.jar -a links bookmarks -s
  file:///C:/style.css -X file:///C:/xsl-style.xsl sample.html
  C:/sample.pdf
PHP:  $pdfreactor->addXSLTStyleSheet(null, "style.xsl");
Java: pdfReactor.addXSLTStyleSheet(null, "style.xsl");
.Net: pdfReactor.AddXSLTStyleSheet(null, "style.xsl");

Referencing an external XSLT style sheet via the <link> element:

<link href="wizardOfOz.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet"/>
