Beginner Question About XSLT

Question

I just started learning XSLT, now I am following some online tutorial and now I have a simple question:

Suppose we have an original xml file, do we need to write a stylish XSLT table, or just just transfer the xml file to some software such as Stylus Studio (Saxon Engine), then it will do all this stuff automatically for us?

Sorry for the incorrect explanation. I need to convert this .svg file to pdf, I'm just at the beginning of development, so I really got confused in the first step. Also I would like to know if my initial input is a .svg file, do I need to explicitly convert it to .xml before I start using XSLT?

Thanks in advance!

An SVG file is an XML file in the SVG namespace. Regardless of whether you want to convert this XML, it depends on how you intend to use it. If you were going to do batch printing using something like Inkscape (an SVG editor), you would not.
