Hi
I am looking for a way to create a list in a PDF based on information in a xml array, does anyone know in what direction I should start looking?
What I am trying to do is basically this: I will receive a xml file with an array that holds a bunch of information about a print job, for example quantity, print format, type, article ID and so on. There is one xml file for each order, but every order may include several rows (jobs). I want to list these rows in a PDF. It does not have to be fancy.
<Rows>
<Row>
<ArticleNo>666777</ArticleNo>
<Quantity>20</Quantity>
<AssetId>565</AssetId>
<PrintFormat>A4</PrintFormat>
<Color>CMYK</Color>
</Row>
<Row>
<ArticleNo>666779</ArticleNo>
<Quantity>20</Quantity>
<AssetId>1020</AssetId>
<PrintFormat>A3+</PrintFormat>
<Color>BW</Color>
</Row>
</Rows>
What is the best way to approach this, any ideas? I have access to Switch with metadata module and Pitstop Server, would that be enough or is scripting needed? Thanks!

You can use the Saxon configurator and an XSLT that translate your XML to what you want.
