I would like to convert XML file to XSL-FO format
Kindly suggest tool and price for personal use if such product available with
you.
You don't need to purchase anything from us or from any other vendor.
You just need to use an XSLT engine for that.
Recommended free-to-use XSLT engine: Saxon-HE 9.8:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/saxon/files/
However, if you choose this path, you'll have to learn both XSLT and
XSL-FO in order to develop an XSLT stylesheet which converts your XML to
XSL-FO.
XSLT 2.0 reference: http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt20/
XSL-FO 1.0 reference: https://www.w3.org/TR/xsl/
If you are curious, you'll find below a sample --very simple-- XSLT
stylesheet that generates XSL-FO:

This sample XSLT stylesheet can be used to convert this kind of sample
XML file to XSL-FO:

Note that some vendors offer commercial graphical tools which aim to
relieve you from developing such XSLT stylesheets. We have never
evaluated such tools:
Ecrion XF Designer: http://www.ecrion.com/xfdesigner/
RendexX Visual-XSL: http://www.renderx.com/tools/visualxsl.html

PS: Once you'll have some XSL-FO ready, you'll need an XSL-FO Processor
to convert this intermediate format to a useful formal like PDF, DOCX, etc.
Some of the available XSL-FO Processors:
(Free, open-source) Apache FOP: http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/
(Commercial) RenderX XEP: http://www.renderx.com/tools/xep.html
(Commercial) Antenna House XSL Formatter:

(Commercial) XMLmind XSL-FO Converter: http://www.xmlmind.com/foconverter/
