How to convert XML file to PDF?

[Tar81]

Hello,

How can I convert XML file to PDF file in LabView?

[MikeS81]

Hi Tar81,

how should you PDF look like? Do you want to see the same as in the xml file or is the xml a description of something?

You can use a pdf printer to print you xml file from LabVIEW.

You could Read the XML File, use "Unflatten from XML" to convert it and use the Report Generation TK VIs to print it to a PDF-Printer.

After unflattening your XML to String, you can use the Carya PDF toolkit also.

See this for more details.

I need a template of report with formatted view, with headings and tables with fixed fields and changeable fields. I need to fill these changeable fields by
XML file's values. How can I create and format such document which will be easy to convert to PDF and how create a PDF?

You can use the Report Generation Tookit to create your report from templates, use the XML VIs to read your XML data into LV and then write it to the report, then you print it via PDF Printer or the way parthabe suggested.
