Merge Xml Files in PDF Document & Reduce Code Duplication
API Declarations
An example code snippet is demonstrated below that uses an XSLT file using XslTransform class to combine the shared content from different XML files and produce a combined XML file that is then bound to Pdf object by calling its BindXML method. After the final XML file is bound then it can be saved as a PDF document by calling save method of the Pdf class.
