Transform XML to PDF with Java REST API

Java REST API enables you to automatically fill a PDF form with data from an XML file using Aspose PDF Cloud’s low‑code capabilities. This guide walks you through uploading the source files to Cloud storage, invoking the import method, and downloading the completed PDF.

Prerequisite

Steps to Convert XML File to PDF with Java REST Interface

  1. Create an instance of the PdfApi class, providing your client ID and secret.
  2. Define the names of the PDF file that contains form fields and the XML file that holds the data.
  3. Upload the PDF file to Cloud storage so the service can access the form.
  4. Upload the XML file with the corresponding form data to Cloud storage.
  5. Call the GetImportFieldsFromXmlInStorage() method to populate the PDF form using the XML data.
    (See the API reference for GetImportFieldsFromXmlInStorage.)
  6. Download the filled PDF from Cloud storage and save it locally.

These steps summarize how to export data from an XML document to a PDF using the Java RESTful service. After uploading both files, the GetImportFieldsFromXmlInStorage() call imports the data into the PDF, and you can store the returned stream as a file on your disk.

Code to Convert XML to PDF File with Java-based API

The sample demonstrates a complete XML to PDF conversion using Aspose PDF Cloud’s Java SDK. It expects a PDF with fillable fields and an XML file whose element names match those fields.

For creating a new fillable PDF before performing the import, see the article Create a fillable PDF with Java REST API.
