Hello, Does Alfresco support transformation from xml file to pdf or html??

It does not support those transformations currently. Well, it can turn XML into PDF if you want to treat the XML as plain text However it is not hard for a developer to add a new transformer to the Alfresco system - infact they are one of the more popular contributions we have had. See http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Content_Transformations for more information.

Thanks,

Kevin

I can not understand, Alfresco can not turn xml to pdf, however clicking on the "view details" icon of a file and then, in the "actions" panel, clicking on "run action" appears the "run action wizard". It let's you select an action…and one of these actions is "Transform and copy content to a specific space". What about this?? This action is not implemented??

Thanks again.

What should i need modify in Alfresco or in OpenOffice to be able to tranform content?? I've just installed OpenOffice.org 2.0.3(full) and it doesn't seems to work…

There is a problem with some OpenOffice versions - can you try downgrading OO to 2.0.0? http://forums.alfresco.com/viewtopic.php?p=4994#4994
