Can we get the different PDF outputs with single xml file?

Question

Is there any way to get the different output like Web PDF, Print PDF, Variable PDF, etc. with single time loading the xml file into the XPP and run the xychange.

That is certainly possible but you will have to import the xml file into 2 different jobs/divisions, each with a different style setup (and possibly different transformations) If it was only for the colored variables, you could do things within a single division using different color specs. But if you want in one case to generate blank pages and in another case you don't want that to happen, you will have to use 2 different setups. If things are not too wildly different from each other you can potentially import your xml and use style setup 1, compose and print. And then change the division ticket to use a different style setup and compose and print again. This method has the advantage that if you have to make corrections within XPP, you keep everything in the same division. Whereas when you import twice, you will have to make the corrections twice ( = a bad idea)
