This is a very broad question. What are you asking<br />
- how to set up a process transforming XML into XSL-FO and then run a processor to make it PDF?<br />
- how to transform this snippet of XML into a fo:block with an fo:basic-link<br />
- do you need the XSLT?<br />
- do you need the full FO (what are your requirements then?)<br />
<br />
.... or do you just need an example of what you need to transform to...<br />
That is easy<br />

<pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-42701415-1"><span>&lt;fo:block&gt;ahsbdgdgdg&lt;fo:basic-link </span>
<span>    external-destination=&quot;url('https://aaaa.com/xsd')&quot; color=&quot;blue&quot; text-decoration=&quot;underline&quot;&gt;Test&lt;/fo:basic-link&gt;&lt;/fo:block&gt;</span>
</code></pre>

Hi Geert, Thanks for your response. I need an XSLT to transform this piece of XML to PDF using XSL:FO.<br />
My requirement is to read the multiple elements - &lt;paragraphs&gt; which would have one element - &lt;paragraph&gt;, and if there is any hyperlink available, have to convert it into XSL-FO basic link, so that it gets displayed in PDF. Thank-you.

Note the separation of actions in separate rules.<br />
Using apply templates and many small templates you keep the code very maintainable<br />
Using this approach is an XSLT programming best practice

Hi, How to transform the below XML to PDF using XSL:FO

Generating PDF from XML using XSL:FO. Transforming the anchor tag  content from XML to PDF

A Portable Document Format (PDF) is a file format consisting of an electronic image resembling a printed document and can be viewed, printed, and electronically transmitted. PDF files can store various types of data, including formatted text, vector graphics, and raster images. The page layout defines the location, size, and shape of each page and each item on the page. The information looks the same no matter what device or program is used to open it.

Extensible Markup Language (XML) refers to the encoding of documents such that they can be read by both machines and humans. XML documents use tags to show the beginning and end of a set of data. XML is used extensively on websites to show volumes of data, and is the default for a number of office productivity suites. This topic includes discussions of XML-related technologies, such as XQuery (the XML Query language), XPath (the XML Path language), XSLT (eXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformations), XLink (the XML Linking language) and XPointer (the XML Pointer language).
