Hi Ashish, > How can I use XML to convert data from HTML to PDF???? If you want to use an XML route, you can do it in three steps: HTML -> XHTML -> XSL-FO -> PDF 1. Turn your HTML into XHTML by running it through HTML Tidy (you can get that from http://www.w3.org/People/Raggett/tidy/). Basically that makes your HTML XML compliant, so that you can do things to it that you can only do to XML, including transforming it with XSLT. 2. Download or write your own XSLT stylesheet that turns XHTML into XSL-FO (there's one at http://www.antenna.co.jp/XML/downfree/Xhtml2fo.xsl [as cautiously revealed by its author, Tokushige Kobayashi, yesterday]). 3. Run the XSL-FO through one of the various XSL-FO processors that turns XSL-FO into PDF, for example FOP from http://xml.apache.org/fop/. There are applications that turn HTML straight into PDF, though, like HTMLDoc: http://www.easysw.com/htmldoc/ Cheers, Jeni --- Jeni Tennison http://www.jenitennison.com/ XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
