Basic transformation techniques might be able to be used to get PDF
rendering from XML with little development 
effort.
    
A possible solution is: XML ->  XHTML -> XSL-FO -> PDF
    
See:
XHTML ->  XSL-FO 
(http://www.antenna.co.jp/XML/downfree/Xhtml2fo.xsl)
    
XSL-FO ->  PDF
XEP Rendering Engine (http://www.renderx.com/FO2PDF.html)
Apache FOP (http://xml.apache.org/fop/index.html)

I hope that helps.

Regards,
Kurt

We are looking at taking XML and converting it to a PDF format.

I am trying to figure out the best way to do it with XSLT.

Should I convert it directly to pdf format or use the FO approach.
I am still new at this and need a little steering.

Thanks!!!
