Transform XML to PDF with Python REST API

This article shows how to Python REST API conversion of an XML document into a PDF using the Aspose PDF Cloud SDK for Python. You will learn to automatically populate a PDF form with data from an XML file, store the files in Cloud storage, and download the completed PDF.

Prerequisite

Steps to Convert XML File to PDF with Python REST Interface

  1. Create an instance of the PdfApi class by providing the client ID and secret.
  2. Define the names of the PDF file that contains form fields and the XML file that holds the form data.
  3. Upload the PDF file to Cloud storage so it can be processed.
  4. Upload the XML file with the form data to Cloud storage.
  5. Call the GetImportFieldsFromXmlInStorage() method to fill the PDF form using the XML data.
  6. Download the filled PDF from Cloud storage and save it locally.

These steps summarize the workflow for exporting data from an XML document to a PDF using the Python RESTful service. After uploading both the PDF and XML files, invoke GetImportFieldsFromXmlInStorage() to import the data, then write the returned stream to a file on disk if needed.

Code to Convert XML to PDF File with Python‑based API

The sample demonstrates an XML‑to‑PDF converter built with the Python Low‑Code API. It requires a PDF file that contains form fields and an XML file whose element names match those fields.
