Tiny RML2PDF is a tool to easily create PDF document without programming. It
can be used as a Python library or as a standalone binary. It converts a RML,
an XML dialect that lets you define the precise appearance of a printed
document, to a PDF. You can use your existing tools to generate an input file
that exactly describes the layout of a printed document, and RML2PDF converts
it into PDF. RML is a much more powerful and flexible alternative to XSL:FO.

The executable read a RML file to the standard input and output a PDF file to
the standard output.
