Hi Cecilia,

since PB 2017 can now generate native PDF files, I would load the XML into a a datawindow/datastore (ImportString function) and then save it into PDF (SaveAs function).

Limitations apply according to the complexity of the input XML, but you can leverage PBDOM extensions just in case.

Best,

Marco

Hi Cecilia,

I believe you mean XML to PDF using XSLT files. There is no standard function in PowerBuilder to perform that file conversion.

However, there is existing software to do that conversion (like Apache Cocoon). I would consider using such a software component. From PowerBuilder you would shuffle around the required files and perform the required calls to automate the process.

More info on Apache Cocoon => https://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/howto/howto-html-pdf-publishing.html
