Combining PDF and XML files into PDF

My app reads an XML file into my database, allows editing the content,
then produces a new XML file and, optionally, a PDF file from the same
data. I’m currently using REXML to readin the XML file, Builder to
write the new XML file out, and PDF::Writer to write the PDF file.

Now I need to put the XML data into the PDF file and have the result
conform to the Adobe spec for that. I’d really appreciate any
suggestions re: the best / easiest approach to ‘get there from here’.

TIA,
Bill

For PDF Creation take a look at PDF::Writer
