Step 1: Design the Data Template XML File. Step 2: Create the Data Definition in XML Publisher and associate it with Data Template Step 3: Define a Concurrent Program to generate the Data XML File. Step 4: Define the RTF Template using the Generated Data XML. Step 5: Registering the Template with XML Publisher Step 6: Execute the concurrent program to generate the PDF report.
