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.

The following main features are supported:

  • PDF output compression
  • Font embedding/subsetting
  • PDF security and password encryption
  • Interactivity (hyperlinks to local or external sources, bookmarks, indexes, PDF layers, optional content)
  • The possibility to embed any supported format into any other; for example, SVG files can embed now XSL-FO pages
  • Advances SVG options such as nested transformations, clipping paths, alpha masks, filter effects and template objects
  • MathML support in XSL-FO and XHTML
  • Merging of several documents with WordML dynamic fields support
  • Direct GDI+ print and preview function
  • The possibility to merge several documents of different formats into one output document or use any source document as a background
  • External images (BMP, EMF, EPS, Exit, GIF, ICO, JPEG, PNG, PS, SWF, TIFF, WMF, SVG) and fonts (TrueType, Type1, Opentype)
