I want to create PDF file from HTML file

[Vt Guru]

Hi,
I want to create a pdf file using java API. If you have any solution please tell me.

[Ulf Dittmer]

The most commonly used library is iText, which is very powerful. Although its web site has many extensive examples that are sufficient to learn how to create a wide range of PDFs, you will want to read "iText in Action" if you're serious about using it.

If the data that goes into the PDF is in XML, and you're comfortable about using XSL, then the Apache FOP library takes a different approach to creating PDFs.

[Ganesh Gowtham]

even you can use apache's poi also for PDF generation .

[Ulf Dittmer]

Apache POI does not have any provisions for creating PDFs.

I sent the text of the post as PM to you prior to deleting it. Check the "My Private Messages" link at the top of the page.

And this was not hijacking, this was reusing some already running post so that there should not be lot of similar threads running concurrently.

It was hijacking, since the topic of your question was about using FOP specifically, which the original topic never got into.

you have just s*****d me

Please remember that the cardinal rule here on JavaRanch is Be Nice.

And now, if you want to discuss hijacking or post deletion any further, please start a new topic in the "Ranch Office" forum; that's the proper place to talk about site-related topics. I can copy the relevant parts of this discussion there if you like.
