Java iText Convert HTML to PDF Example Tutorial

In this post, we will provide a basic example that explains how to convert a HTML document to a PDF file using the Java iText library. Converting a HTM file to PDF document would be a simple task if you have all the required libraries with you. In addition to using iText, we will use some more APIs to achieve this conversion. I'm fascinated towards an API, popularly known as Flying Saucer. I will be using R8 version of this API and you can download the additional JAR files from the following location. You will be able to appreciate the conversion process as this library makes the transformation of HTML to PDF a fairly quick task with very minimal code.  It internally uses iText and so I believe you can still retain your iText functionality and build the conversion on top of this. We will see some examples for this as we move on.

To begin converting HTML to PDF using iText, make sure that you have the following JAR files in your classpath after you have downloaded the XML/XHTML and CSS renderer. The files I'm after are listed below (along with iText);

1) core-renderer.jar
2) core-renderer-minimal.jar
3) xml-apis-xerces-2.9.1.jar

We can get started now. The step by step guide to convert HTML to PDF is provided below;

Step-1: Prepare a HTML Hello World file for testing. (You can very well use your HTML code instead of this. More advanced examples later). If you are looking for something quick, you can use the HTML provided below;
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" 
   "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    <head>
        <title>Example To Convert HTML to PDF in Java iText</title>
        <style type="text/css"> b { color: blue; } </style>
    </head>
    <body>        
            <b>Hello World</b>
            We have successfully transformed a HTML File to PDF document in Java!!
     <br/>
     <b>This solution and example works </b>
    </body>
</html>

Step-2: We begin by defining an input HTML file and convert it into an URL. We also define an output stream where the PDF document would be produced. Refer to the code below that explains how to do this in Java;
        String File_To_Convert = "test.htm";
        String url = new File(File_To_Convert).toURI().toURL().toString();
        System.out.println(""+url);
        String HTML_TO_PDF = "ConvertedFile.pdf";
        OutputStream os = new FileOutputStream(HTML_TO_PDF);

Step-3:We now use the iTextRenderer class defined in org.xhtmlrenderer.pdf.ITextRenderer and use the "createPDF" method of this class to generate the PDF. Now, the iTextRenderer class needs to know the location to pick up the incoming HTM file. This is provided by using the "setDocument" method of the class. Just four lines of code and you get the new PDF file.
        ITextRenderer renderer = new ITextRenderer();
        renderer.setDocument(url);      
        renderer.layout();
        renderer.createPDF(os);        
        os.close();
Step-4: While creating the PDF we can get either IOException (if input file could not be located) or DocumentException and these needs to be caught.

The complete code to produce a PDF from a HTML document by converting the HTML to PDF using Java iText is provided below;
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 File_To_Convert = "test.htm";
        String url = new File(File_To_Convert).toURI().toURL().toString();
        System.out.println(""+url);
        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();
    }
}
This basic example tutorial produces a PDF as shown in the image below;

    Hi,

    You are getting this exception because you are using a <br> tag in your HTML that is not closed. Use </br> or <br/> and try it again. It should work.

    I have been looking into this and it looks like you must have a valid HTML.

    usually there are rare cases where you have a 100% valid html..

    so iText needs to be improved much more to really work in "real-life" production quality applications.

    for eg. if you try to use http://www.chinadaily.com/
    it will fail with bunch of exceptions similar to all of above exception.

    here is the I text official demo page which also fails to convert!
    http://demo.itextsupport.com/xmlworker/

    ps: It says provide feed back, but didn't find actual link to provide one!

    it would be a useful example if you actually provided the libraries (as a download). Without those, it is just guess work because there is so many versions of those libraries out there that I cannot find the correct one.

    Hi,

    I am using these all jars and everything is fine and pdf generated successfully
    but, when running same code on Windows10 then getting alignment issues (some contents comming in next page) which was fine when running in Windows7

    1) core-renderer.jar
    2) core-renderer-minimal.jar
    3) xml-apis-xerces-2.9.1.jar

    so, to execute on Windows10, I have to change new jar means latest jar for Win10 ?
    please help me out.
