I can repeat the pevious comment: from XRD you get infromation about the crystal structure (which is qualitative information, you can identify the crystalline phase(s) using reference data), on the amorphous/crystalline contetn and on the average size of the crystallites (line broadening).
X ray fluorescence gives qualitatve or semiquantitative information about the elementary composition (main elements).
XRD - X-ray diffraction- typical technic for identification crystals structure (compounds), that based on the X-ray diffraction on the crystals plane.
XRF - is the technic to detected the luminescence. It's like a PL (photoluminescence) , but the excitation realized for X-ray. In the other words, XRF is Luminescence under X-ray.

XRD is used for phase identification, transition or evolution at both ambient and high temperatures on amorphous/crystalline materials (powder/ compact powder). It can be used to determine crystal structures fro rietveld analysis.
XRF is used primarily for elemental composition analysis.
XRF (X-ray fluorescence) is a non-destructive analytical technique used to determine the elemental composition of materials. XRFanalyzers determine the chemistry of a sample by measuring the fluorescent (or secondary) X-ray emitted from a sample when it is excited by a primary X-ray source.
XRD (X-ray diffraction) is an analytical technique to determine crystalline phase, average crystalline size and d spacing.
