Convert xml+xsl or html to pdf

Is there a SAS way to convert xml+xsl file to pdf file? I can open a xml file in Microsoft Edge and save it as a html file, so solution of convert html to pdf is welcomed, too.

Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but if you want to print something out to a pdf I'm pretty sure you could use code such as the following:

ODS PDF FILE="C:/Users/path-to-file/report.pdf" STYLE=statistical;
proc print data=sasdata;
run;
ods pdf close;

Depends on what you mean by "convert". SAS really is intended to work with data. Both of the file formats you mention can have a lot of stuff that is not data: pictures, graphs, plain text, formatted text, links to external files for example. Most of those aren't going to be simple or likely even possible to maintain something that you would consider a "conversion" using SAS.

To PDF may be better off with one of the tools that adds a PDF destination as a Print option if not a formal file conversion program.
