In order to convert an XML to PDF, you need to understand the internal element hierarchy of the PDF structure. Your source XML file must follow the Aspose.Pdf for .NET schema. Please refer to this help topic: Introduction to the DOM API

Hi Imran ,

Thanks for sharing the article.
As per my understanding the article contains the following information -:

  1. DOM structure of the Aspose Pdf.
    2)and the process for creating Pdf Portfolio.

  2. because we dont have any XML schema, it will be hard to identify which different elements of the xml correspond to which part of the Pdf DOM .

  3. Creating pdf portfolio is entirely a different thing, which we dont require at this point.

Kindly tell any other way to achieve the conversion.

@harsh1691,

In order to convert the sample XML, you can prepare a template of the Word document with merge fields, and then execute mail merge to incorporate XML data, finally save the document into the PDF format. Please refer to this help topic: How to Mail Merge from XML using LINQ to XML
