Feature of Generate PDF Output Service?

I noticed some useful tasks by the generatePDFOutput service, as its generates one or more PDF docs based on the supplied data file.

Is this possible to accomplish my requirements using this service?

I have form design with a table (which has 0 rows of data while designing)

Is it possible to fill this table based on the number of records provided?

For eg.g my data file looks like this:

<data>

     <record>

            <table>

                  <row>

                       <name>my name</name>

                       <email>myemail@mydomain.com</email>

                  </row>

            </table>

      </record>

     <record>

            <table>

                  <row>

                       <name>my name2</name>

                       <email>myemail2@mydomain.com</email>

                  </row>

            </table>

      </record>

</data>

Thanks,

You would accomplish that by creating a dynamic form with a flowable layout. When the server merges the data with the form, the rows in the table are added according to the number of records in the data. See this for an overview:
