Hi,

Thanks for considering Aspose.

Please find attached an XML document which contains Text, Heading, Table, Labeled list and Bulleted List items. The text objects also contain formatting information. For your reference, I have attached the resultant PDF generated with this XML file using Aspose.Pdf for Java 2.7.0. In case it does not satisfy your requirement, please share some details regarding the source XML file that you would like to have. We are sorry for your inconvenience.

I would also recommend you to visit the following links for more information on

Please make sure that the source XML should be in Aspose.Pdf for Java compatible format. For more related information, please visit Aspose.Pdf Document Object Model (DOM)

I have used the following code snippet to test the scenario

[Java]

try{
aspose.pdf.License lic = new aspose.pdf.License();
lic.setLicense(new FileInputStream(new File("D:/ASPOSE/Aspose.Total.Java.lic")));
}catch(Exception ex)
{}

Pdf pdf = new Pdf();
pdf.bindXML("D:/pdftest/samplesource.xml",null);
// Save the document
pdf.save("d:/pdftest/Java_HelloWorld.pdf");

In case you have any further query, please feel free to contact. We apologize for your inconvenience.

Hi,

Thanks for your interest in our products.

As far as I can see, the XML file that you are using is not according to Aspose.Pdf DOM (Document Object Model). As I have shared earlier, in order to convert the XML file into PDF format without any problem, the source XML must be in Aspose.Pdf compatible format.

However, in case you need to use your own XML file, you can use XSLT to make your source XML compatible to Aspose.Pdf. Please visit the following link for information on

The above links are from Aspose.Pdf for .NET section but the information is also applicable to Aspose.Pdf for Java because both the products have same DOM. In case I have not properly understood your requirement or you have any further query, please feel free to contact. We apologize for your inconvenience.

PS, When you are using XML and XSLT to generate PDF document, please try using Pdf.bindXML(java.lang.String xmlFile, java.lang.String xslFile) over loaded method.

Ok, Let’s not even bother about my xml.suppose i am using your sample xml .and crated a java class with the code what u mentioned in the below.How did you generate the pdf.
I was asking for those steps.you keep on talking about the documentation, i have already gone through that,.all the sample are there in your documentation.

I just want to to know with your xml after getting this software what are the steps need to be followed to generate the pdf.

Hi,

Please accept my apologies for not replying you earlier on how to use Aspose.Pdf for Java.

In case you need to use Aspose.Pdf for Java in Eclipse project, first you need to create a Java project. Select "Project" and then select "Properties". Select Java Build Path from Left tree over "Properties window" and select Libraries Tab. Press "Add External JARs" button and provide the path for aspose.pdf.jar. I have also attached a screenshot which shows the project properties windows once JAR file has been included in the project.

Once the JAR file has been added, open the class file (or create one using New -> Class Menu option). Add the reference of Aspose.Pdf for Java library inside code using import aspose.pdf.*;.

Now you can use the code that I have shared in my earlier posts inside Main method or any of your customer method. Please try using this approach and in case you encounter any issue or you have any further query, please feel free to contact. We apologize for your inconvenience.

In other way when i create the xsd in eclipse along with the elements that i need to populate what else are required to create the pdf template.When we do the layout we have to allocate the margins and heades, allocate the space for images and etc.My template looks something like this.I need to add a header and do the layout font, adding images etc
