  When I try to upload a XML file which I made from converting a PDF file using the site https://products.aspose.app/pdf/conversion/pdf-to-xml. When I try to upload this XML document to Tools/Import/Wordpress the message “This does not appear to be a WXR file, missing/invalid WXR version number.” I am asking for help in how to fix this issue when I made my blog post from a PAGES document and converted it to a PDF file.

  Hello there

  When I try to upload a XML file which I made from converting a PDF file using the site https://products.aspose.app/pdf/conversion/pdf-to-xml. When I try to upload this XML document to Tools/Import/Wordpress the message “This does not appear to be a WXR file, missing/invalid WXR version number.”

  You are getting that error because that converted XML file is not in a valid WordPress format. Please note that the XML file should be in WordPress format and not all XML files can be imported.

  I am asking for help in how to fix this issue when I made my blog post from a PAGES document and converted it to a PDF file.

  To resolve this issue, you may need to convert your content into a compatible format for WordPress. Here’s a suggested approach to address this:

  1. Convert your PDF file to a Word document or plain text file.
  2. Then, from the Word document, you can copy the content and paste it directly into the WordPress editor.

  By following this method, you can bypass the need to upload the XML file and seamlessly add your content to WordPress.
