The example AxKit::NewsMaker does this, though it's quite old now and
doesn't use very modern technology as far as AxKit is concerned. You can
find it in the download directory.

I suggest checking out PerForm though - it was designed with this in mind,
and I used it to write a simple CMS system that did DTD-based validation
on the input XML file so that you couldn't enter invalid XML. It worked
really nicely (IMHO).

There are a number of examples on the 'net of using XSL:FO to do this. If
you can brave the PassiveTeX installation (you already braved the AxKit
install, so it won't be *too* bad) then you can use the PassiveTeX
Language module to do XSLFO->PDF. See perldoc
Apache::AxKit::Language::PassiveTeX

You might also want to do it by hand, in which case check out AxPoint
which I use for online presentations in PDF.
