I am having problems with creating a PDF using the simple example found here. It is my first time trying to use it and I have tried a few things and lots of searching but haven't found a reason why the error is generating. The error originates on the renderer.setDocument(url);
line. If anyone has any ideas, suggestions or alternatives it would be greatly appreciated.
package flyingsaucerpdf;
import java.io.*;
import com.lowagie.text.DocumentException;
import org.xhtmlrenderer.pdf.ITextRenderer;
public class FirstDoc {
public static void main(String[] args)
throws IOException, DocumentException {
String inputFile = "samples/firstdoc.xhtml";
String url = new File(inputFile).toURI().toURL().toString();
String outputFile = "firstdoc.pdf";
OutputStream os = new FileOutputStream(outputFile);
ITextRenderer renderer = new ITextRenderer();
renderer.setDocument(url);
renderer.layout();
renderer.createPDF(os);
os.close();
}
}
Console prints out the error below.
ERROR: 'Stream closed'

Is "samples/firstdoc.xhtml" the file from the tutorial? Is it in the right directory and accessible? XHTMLRenderer only accepts clean XHTML code and is very strict. If something is wrong you will get an exception.
In some of my projects I'm using JTidy to clean up the source before rendering.
