    There are some things that you could do in XSL to do this. Exactly how you would do it depends on (a) the structure of the XML document containing the dynamic data, and (b) how you want to reference the data elements to be extracted in your input document.

    If you can provide a sample of the input document you'd like to have and the XML document you want to provide data, perhaps I could come up with an example stylesheet that would give you the basic idea.

    Subject: [xep-support] *REPOST* XML + XSL:FO = PDF?

    **Ive only just now been authenticated with the mailing list so would have
    missed any replies from earlier, so sorry for the repost**

    Hi, Ive got a really simple question but I cant find an answer on the XEP
    website or in the help documentation.

    Ive got an XML:FO document with hard coded values for Name, Address, etc. I
    can convert this to PDF just fine.

    What I want to do though is remove the hard coded values and replace these
    with dynamic values sourced from a seperate XML file.

    I want to use XEP to combine the XML with the XSL:FO and produce a PDF
    containing the XSL:FO formatting and the XML values?

    Is this possible using XEP? If so, can anyone provide a simple example?

    Thanks for your help,

    Phil
