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.
