I am using Flying Saucer API
with iText PDF
to convert HTML content to PDF.
This requires the following libraries:
- core-renderer.jar
- iText-2.0.8.jar
Since the library doesn't support input type checkbox
so I am using checkbox image
to render in PDF.
However, image is not coming. It is showing nothing.
Resources in flyingsaucer-R8.zip
.
Example:
StringBuilder myHtml = new StringBuilder();
myHtml.append("<html><img src=\"images/invoice-bg.jpg\"></img></html>");
// if you have html source in hand, use it to generate document object
Document document = XMLResource.load( new ByteArrayInputStream(
myHtml.toString().getBytes() ) ).getDocument();
ITextRenderer renderer = new ITextRenderer();
renderer.setDocument( document, null );
renderer.layout();
String fileNameWithPath = "D:/Temp/PDF-XhtmlRendered.pdf";
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream( fileNameWithPath );
renderer.createPDF( fos );
fos.close();
System.out.println( "File 1: '" + fileNameWithPath + "' created." );
Gave the complete path to the image and then it worked.
I checked this by directly hitting the following URL:
