This tutorial contains a step-by-step guide to convert XML to PDF using Java along with a sample code to generate PDF from XML in Java. The document conversion can be easily implemented by following this guide on operating systems including MS Windows, Liunx, Mac OS, and without installing any additional software. Further, you just need to write a few lines of code that use simple API calls to create the Java XML to PDF functionality.

Steps to Convert XML to PDF using Java

1. Install GroupDocs.Conversion for Java from the Maven repository for implementing XML to PDF Java functionality
2. Import the essential classes for doing document transformation from XML to PDF
3. Load the input XML file by passing it to the constructor of the Converter class
4. Initialize PdfConvertOptions class and set convert options for the output PDF file
5. Finally, call the Convert method of the Converter class and pass the converted file path along with the PdfConvertOptions object to it

The XML to PDF converter Java application can be easily developed by following the above steps in a sequence. You can start implementing document conversion by setting up your project with the required library and importing the necessary classes. Then, load the input XML file by creating an instance of the Converter class and set convert options for the converted PDF files by consuming the PdfConvertOptions class. In the last step, save the resultant file to the disk by using the Convert method.

Code to Convert XML to PDF using Java

In the preceding example, we have developed the Java convert XML to PDF functionality to show you the working of this feature. The PdfConvertOptions class can be further used to set convert options to customize the output PDF document. You can also transform your XML documents into various other formats including SVG, ODS, XLSB, RTF, MHTML, POTX, TIFF, and many more.

We have created a step-by-step guide to convert XML to PDF in Java and produced a sample code as well. We had recently published an article on converting HTML to Image in Java, take a look at how to convert HTML to Image in Java post for more information.
