Hi

I there a easy way to format a XML job ticket send through ConnectALL , to a user readable PDF (a printout Jobsheet).

Regards

Ming

Ming,
I hope this can help. In Connect ALL you can have the job Ticket delivered as a Text only document. That would be more user readable. But to get it converted as a nice Job Jacket in PDF you'd need to process the XML using something like Switch and some custom scripting to convert the XML to a nice looking PDF. Maybe someone here on the forum has done this. I can ask around too with our integrators. I'm sure they've done something like this by now.

Let me know.

The Indesign Element in Switch can be used to import and format an xml file.

A small javascript in the command element of the properties of the Indesign element is all that is needed to import the xml into the template.

You may also consider XSL-FO transformation to get a PDF from XML. All but easy though.
