"""
Description:
This script converts an XML file (.xml) to a PDF file (.pdf).
It extracts text content from all elements in the XML and generates a PDF with each text element in a separate cell.

Requirements:
- Python 3.x
- FPDF library (install using: pip install fpdf)

Usage:
1. Save this script as 'xml2pdf.py'.
2. Ensure your XML file ('example.xml') is in the same directory as the script.
3. Install the FPDF library using the command: 'pip install fpdf'
4. Run the script.
5. The converted PDF file ('xml2pdf.pdf') will be generated in the same directory.

Note: Adjust the 'xml_filename' and 'pdf_filename' variables in the script as needed.
