Using iText to convert HTML to PDF

Question

Does anyone know if it is possible to convert a HTML page  url  to a PDF using iText   If the answer is  no  than that is OK as well since I will stop wasting my time trying to work it out and just spend some money on one of a number of components which I know can     Thanks in advance for your responses

The answer to your question is actually two-fold  First of all you need to specify what you intend to do with the rendered HTML  save it to a new PDF file  or use it within another rendering context  i e  add it to some other document you are generating   The former is relatively easily accomplished using the Flying Saucer framework  which can be found here  https   github com flyingsaucerproject flyingsaucer The latter is actually a much more comprehensive problem that needs to be categorized further  Using iText you won t be able to  trivially  at least  combine iText elements  i e  Paragraph  Phrase  Chunk and so on  with the generated HTML  You can hack your way out of this by using the ContentByte s addTemplate method and generating the HTML to this template  If you on the other hand want to stamp the generated HTML with something like watermarks  dates or the like  you can do this using iText  So bottom line  You can t trivially integrate the rendered HTML in other pdf generating contexts  but you can render HTML directly to a blank PDF document

When I needed HTML to PDF conversion earlier this year  I tried the trial of Winnovative HTML to PDF converter  I think ExpertPDF is the same product  too    It worked great so we bought a license at that company   I don t go into it too in depth after that
