HOW TO CONVERT XML TO PDF?
To understand how XML is converted to any of the supported file formats, you must understand that XML (eXtensible Markup Language) contains primarily data.
Therefore, in order to generate PDF, you will first have to define a layout template. The template describes how this data will be presented into a human readable format
The template also contains a set of rules that apply when generating the output, such as fields, dynamic tables, conditions or conditional expressions.
Once you have designed your template, you can then use the Ecrion API to generate PDF, Word or even interactive HTML5 documents.
