convert xml into pdf with a java appl.

You might want to look at my article at
http://www.xml-zone.com/articles/vp101201/vp101201-1.asp
to generate PDF from XML using Java servlet. you can do same with Java application
too . instead of making it as a servlet make an application with same logic.
not a big deal.

If you can do it in an simple app, you can do it in a servlet. And the other
way around. If you developed your classes properly it should be very easy
to do. The servlet is really nothing more than a server-side app. I do
this type of thing all the time.

Katy,

The best Java tool I've found for generating PDFs is iText. You can get it
at http://www.lowagie.com/iText and it's free!
