Hello Jana

For an xml file like:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<info>
<emp name="name1" id="1228"></emp>
<emp name="name2" id="1229"></emp>
</info>
The stylesheet could be something like:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="/">
<fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">
<fo:layout-master-set>
<fo:simple-page-master master-name="all-pages">
<fo:region-body region-name="xsl-region-body" margin="0.7in" column-gap="0.25in"
border="0.25pt solid gray" padding="6pt"/>
</fo:simple-page-master>
</fo:layout-master-set>
<fo:page-sequence master-reference="all-pages">
<fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
<xsl:for-each select="//emp">
<fo:block>
name: <xsl:value-of select="@name"/>
</fo:block>
<fo:block>
id: <xsl:value-of select="@id"/>
</fo:block>
</xsl:for-each>
</fo:flow>
</fo:page-sequence>
</fo:root>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
You have to create a scenario and apply the stylesheet over the xml file with fo-processing and save the result as pdf.

For more information about fo you can read this tutorial: http://www.renderx.com/tutorial.html and also check out the fo samples that come with Oxygen located in the samples/fo folder of the installation directory.
