You could write or reuse one or more XSL style
sheets/transformations.
XML --+
\--> FO --> PDF
/
XSL --+
This setup can represent one program, or a connection by
by pipes, collaborating processes, etc.
FO means Flow Objects. There are a number processors taking FOs
to PDF, including Apache Fop, RenderX XEP, and Antenna House
XSL Formatter.
Another option is to use a text processor like FrameMaker,
OpenOffice Write, Ventura, etc., and feed them the XML data,
after teaching them how to render this kind of XML data.
HTH,
Georg
