Is there an XML File Wrapper to Generate PDF Output?

Greetings Forum Members, I have been given the responsibility of creating a PDF file from multiple XML files. Has anyone come across an XML wrapper file before? This type of file would essentially contain a list of all the source XML file names in a specific order needed for PDF output. Can this XML wrapper file be created and processed through an XSLT processor to generate a PDF, or would it require using JavaScript or C++? My idea is to include references to all XML files within the wrapper, allowing them to retrieve data from the source files and then send it to the XSLT processor in one go. Is my approach correct? Could someone share some XML code that can help achieve this task? Thank you in advance.

XSLT offers the functionality of the document function, allowing users to retrieve data from multiple input documents. You have the flexibility to define the structure of the meta document, such as in the case of having a file named files.xml with:

<files>
  <file name="file1.xml"/>
  <file name="file2.xml"/>
  <file name="file3.xml"/>
</files>

Within XSLT, when using the above file as the main input, you can utilize document(/files/file/@name)/* to import and manipulate the root elements of all specified files. For more information, refer to http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#document.
