You're going to have to try to solve the problem yourself, there are tons of resources you can find by just googling a bit (ie. https://stackoverflow.com/a/2937805/292411). If you run into a _specific_ issue you can ask a question here. — C.Evenhuis, Jul 05 '17 at 09:58

This is a rather vague question, I don't know what kind of content the "data.xml" can have and how it should be mapped to a PDF file.
You mentioned "Hello" as an example, but that cannot be loaded as XmlDocument...

Nevertheless, here is a small sample that will hopefully get you started (for creating a PDF file I used GemBox.Document):

string a = @"
<table>
  <row>
    <cell>Hello 1-1</cell>
    <cell>Hello 1-2</cell>
  </row>
  <row>
    <cell>Hello 2-1</cell>
    <cell>Hello 2-2</cell>
  </row>
</table>";

XmlDocument xmlDocument = new XmlDocument();
xmlDocument.LoadXml(a.Substring(a.IndexOf(Environment.NewLine)));

XmlWriterSettings settings = new XmlWriterSettings() {  Indent = true };
XmlWriter writer = XmlWriter.Create("data.xml", settings);
xmlDocument.Save(writer);

ComponentInfo.SetLicense("FREE-LIMITED-KEY");
DocumentModel pdfDocument = new DocumentModel();

Table table = new Table(pdfDocument);
table.TableFormat.PreferredWidth = new TableWidth(100, TableWidthUnit.Percentage);
pdfDocument.Sections.Add(new Section(pdfDocument, table));

foreach (XmlNode xmlRow in xmlDocument.SelectNodes("/table/row"))
{
    TableRow row = new TableRow(pdfDocument);
    table.Rows.Add(row);

    foreach (XmlNode xmlCell in xmlRow.SelectNodes(".//cell"))
        row.Cells.Add(
            new TableCell(pdfDocument,
                new Paragraph(pdfDocument, xmlCell.InnerText)));
}

pdfDocument.Save("sample.pdf");

Also here is the resulting "sample.pdf":
