Client-side PDF generation for text. For layout-heavy HTML/XML rendering, you’ll need a dedicated renderer (not used here).

- Click Convert to PDF.
- Click Download PDF (or copy base64 if needed).
FAQ
Does this XML to PDF converter upload my data?
No. The conversion runs locally in your browser and does not send network requests.
Will the PDF preserve XML styling or XSLT layout?
No. This tool generates a lightweight text PDF (pretty XML or extracted text), not a full XML/XSL-FO renderer.
What happens if my XML is invalid?
The tool stops and shows a parse error so you can fix the XML before generating a PDF.
Can I convert only the text content of the XML?
Yes. Choose Text only to extract text nodes and render them to the PDF.
Why is the base64 output truncated by default?
Base64 can be large. Keeping it hidden avoids slowdowns and keeps the output readable.
Is the generated PDF searchable/selectable?
Yes. The output is real text in a PDF, so you can select and search it in most PDF viewers.
What are the size limits?
Very large XML can be slow in the browser. The tool caps rendered lines to stay fast and mobile-safe.
