transform XML to PDF

[sakeson]

I have created a template to extract and format the informaiton I need out of an XML file.  Can I use the template to create a new document such as a PDF?

Thanks.

Not easily, templates can only really output text based data formats. However the javascript API supports calling the various transformation services including PDF generation. So you could in theory use a template to generate the first state of your output and then execute a script against that to transform it to PDF.

Then maybe I'm looking at this the wrong way.  My XML data presents properly when I preview it in a template but when browsing the space if I open the XML document the template is not applie, rather it opens in the browser with the XML tree.  I have defined the custom view to apply the template.  Am I using the wrong method to view the document if I want the template used?

Thanks,
