Re: XML Job Ticket
Ming,
I hope this can help. In Connect ALL you can have the job Ticket delivered as a Text only document. That would be more user readable. But to get it converted as a nice Job Jacket in PDF you'd need to process the XML using something like Switch and some custom scripting to convert the XML to a nice looking PDF. Maybe someone here on the forum has done this. I can ask around too with our integrators. I'm sure they've done something like this by now.
Let me know.

Re: XML Job Ticket
The Indesign Element in Switch can be used to import and format an xml file.
A small javascript in the command element of the properties of the Indesign element is all that is needed to import the xml into the template.

You may also consider XSL-FO transformation to get a PDF from XML. All but easy though.
