Xml2PDF Hotfolder is a server application for automated convertion of XSL-FO, SVG, XHTML and WordML files to PDF. It is based on Altsoft Xml2PDF .NET API formatting engine and brings its power into multithreaded server-side solutions.

This software uses the common strategy named hot or watch folders. It looks in certain folders called "hot folders" for XSL-FO, SVG, XHTML or XML files. When Xml2PDF Hotfolder finds a file in one of these hot folders, it converts the file into PDF and moves the resulting PDF document (and, optionally, the source XML file or an associated log file) to the output folder.

There are no restrictions on the number of "hot folders". All folders are configured separately and may use different formatter configurations, separate XSL transformations, tread priorities and other settings.
