This sample code shows how to transform XML into PDF File

    private static void ExampleXSLTtoPDF()
    {
        var _dataDir = @"C:\tmp\";
        var XmlContent = File.ReadAllText(@"XMLFile1.xml");
        var XsltContent = File.ReadAllText(@"XSLTFile1.xslt");
        var options = new Aspose.Pdf.HtmlLoadOptions();
        # set page size to A5
        options.PageInfo.Height = 595;
        options.PageInfo.Width = 420;
        var pdfDocument = new Aspose.Pdf.Document(TransformXmltoHtml(XmlContent, XsltContent), options);
        pdfDocument.Save(_dataDir + "data_xml.pdf");
    }

    public static MemoryStream TransformXmltoHtml(string inputXml, string xsltString)
    {
    var transform = new XslCompiledTransform();
    using (var reader = XmlReader.Create(new StringReader(xsltString)))
    {
        transform.Load(reader);
    }
    var memoryStream = new MemoryStream();
    var results = new StreamWriter(memoryStream);
    using (var reader = XmlReader.Create(new StringReader(inputXml)))
    {
        transform.Transform(reader, null, results);
    }
    memoryStream.Position = 0;
    return memoryStream;
    }
