Xml2PDF is a pure managed .NET API that provides complete functionality for formatting XSL-FO (or XML+XSLT), SVG, XHTML and Word (WordML 2003, DocX, Word 2007 Xml) into PDF, XPS, PS and TIFF formats. Developed in pure C# it provides the complete compatibility with the .NET framework (versions 1.1 and 2.0) and can be easily embedded into any .NET-based solution and used inside custom workflows.

Input XML formats supported: XSL-FO, SVG (both as a stand-alone input format and as a part of XSL-FO), XHTML (including complete CSS support), Word (WordML 2003, DocX, Word 2007 XML)

Output formats: PDF, XPS, PS, TIFF, GIF, JPEG, PNG, WMF.

Xml2PDF uses the Microsoft XML Core Services (MSXML) as an XML parser and XSLT processor. Thus, any XSLT or XML feature implemented in this parser is automatically supported. Besides the standard XML syntax validation, Xml2PDF provides an additional XSL-FO validation against the Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL) Version 1.0, 1.1.
