After generating XSL-FO file content, how can I create .xsl(document) file to pass as one of the input node parameter(Xsl) for "PDF from XSL FO Transformation" smart service.

For best results (in terms of output), I recommend using the PDF from XSL-FO Transformation. Conversion from word to PDF gives mixed results (lost fonts, other formatting issues)

I agree. Creating tables/formatting directly in the PDF generally requires additional licensing (like mentioned in that plugin). So, you can use the plugin to create a word document then convert to PDF. Here are the plugins

Hi, One of the way is to create a docx template with tables from dynamic template smart service and then convert into a PDF file (please make use of few available PDF plugins)
