Re: Multiple XMLs to One PDF.

Viral,

I think that the best way would be to merge the file at the beginning of the process, I dont' use JSP but my idea would be to write a file with all the file checked, and after that to use XSLT and XSL-FO to convert to a PDF.
To do that you can use the document() function associate with the import stylesheet and the mode attribute of the template.
