java html rtf
Duprat picture Duprat · Sep 20, 2010 · Viewed 11.6k times · Source

The basic API of JAVA that uses RTFEditorKit and HTMLEditorKit, is not able of recognize tags like <br/> and <table>. So I have searched on internet a better way of converting HTML to RTF and i have found two solutions that seem to work. JODConverter and HTML-to-RTFconverter. The first one needs OppenOffice installed to work and the second one uses DLL, so it can’t be used on Linux.

Does anyone know about other solution?

Thanks for any help!!!!

If it is valid html, you can use Apache-FOP.

There are stylesheets for transforming html to FO.

Apache FOP can write PDF and RTF as well.
