ki_xml_pdf is a C99 library and the xml2pdf command-line tool. It converts a documented UTF-8 XML subset into sequential PDF text without retaining the input document or a growing list of pages. The current version is 0.3.0, defined in include/ki_xml_pdf.h.
- Report rendering validates a small report grammar and supports record offset/limit selection. Skipped records and the rest of the input are still validated.
- Diagnostic rendering prints element names, attributes and text.
- Custom mappers adapt other schemas through borrowed parser events and the public text API.
- Streaming I/O accepts callbacks and stdin/stdout. File destinations are published only after successful completion.
- Page geometry, word wrapping and optional document information are configured separately from the older options structure.
- Page content and the complete embedded font use Flate compression. Object offsets are spooled to disk. See the PDF writer.
The implementation lives in src/; its public contract is include/ki_xml_pdf.h. Working examples are in examples/, and docs/report-v1.md and docs/mapper-guide.md describe the supported grammars.
The supported platform is 64-bit Linux with glibc, GCC or Clang, and a GNU-compatible linker. zlib is required. GNU cookie streams, /proc/self/exe font discovery and ELF symbol versioning are deliberate platform dependencies. macOS, musl/Alpine, BSD and Windows are unsupported; see README.md, src/platform.h and CMakeLists.txt.
The converter RSS acceptance ceiling is 4096 KiB on the documented synthetic workloads and Linux environment, not a guarantee for arbitrary fonts, inputs or machines. Historical measurements remain tied to their source revisions. Start with Resource limits.
The current library does not provide tables, sorting, XSL-FO, UTF-16 input, shaping, bidi or automatic support for arbitrary schemas. Optional font-script addons are an accepted design only, not a public API or implemented feature (docs/adr/0001-font-script-addons.md).
