I want to convert my XHTML text to a PDF. I converted it to FileOutputStream
but I ca'nt find a way to pass it as an input to the ITextRenderer
. Is that possible, and how?
the code :
String finalXhtml=xhtmlparser(xmlText);
ByteArrayInputStream finalXhtmlStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(finalXhtml.getBytes());
String HTML_TO_PDF = "ConvertedFile.pdf";
OutputStream os = new FileOutputStream(HTML_TO_PDF);
ITextRenderer renderer = new ITextRenderer();
// renderer.loadDocument(finalXhtmlStream); i can pass a file here can i pass an input or output stream ?
renderer.layout();
renderer.createPDF(os) ;
os.close();
System.out.println("done.");
note: I can pass a file to the ITextRenderer
as following:
String File_To_Convert = "report.xhtml";
String url = new File(File_To_Convert).toURI().toURL().toString();
String HTML_TO_PDF = "ConvertedFile.pdf";
OutputStream os = new FileOutputStream(HTML_TO_PDF);
ITextRenderer renderer = new ITextRenderer();
renderer.setDocument(url);
renderer.layout();
renderer.createPDF(os);
os.close();
System.out.println("done.");
please let me know if I have to provide more details.
I am using following code to export HTML data to PDF with following code:
renderer.setDocumentFromString(htmls.toString());
renderer.layout();
response.setContentType("application/octet-stream");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=\"" + fileName + ".pdf\"");
renderer.createPDF(outputStream);
renderer.createPDF(fos);
Now here I am using inline CSS to generate PDF using style but is there any option that I can use setDocumentFromString() function by loading external CSS.
