Did you agree on some XML structure? If so, could you please post it 
here? Intermediate processing of this XML when generating the PDF should 
not be really complicated...

I guess no, but you may still find some clever solution to integrate 
this using a separate processing, just as for PDF.

I know, but having a good structured XML could be the ultimate solution 
for the whole chain.
