Hi Baskar,

Dear Friends

I wanted to convert xml file to pdf using php. But without installing JDK. I 
got an example which says to convert xml to LaTex then using pdflatex convert 
to pdf.
However, the problem here is I am unable to run the command 'system' in PHP.
Please give me your suggestions.

Thanking you,

K.BASKAR


Parse your xml and then use PDFLib extension for pdf  generation.

Here are some tutorials on that
