Anyone know if it is possible to output the contents of some data in an SQL Server database into an xml file and output it to the user as a pdf?
Thanks

Yes it,s possible.
Take a look at XSL-FO. XSL-FO describes the elements on a page (a bit like html) and their (relative) position. You will need a renderer which understands FO and can translate it to another format (pdf, rtf, txt, html, etc).
There are several (good) formatters for creating pdf output. Among them, FOP from Apache, Render-x and XSL formatter from Antenna house are the most popular.
Good luck!
