Dear friends, I have reqruiment to convert xml to pdf, to do that i tried many ways, flying sourcer, itext, apache fop and etc. but the generated xml and xslt is coming with errors, therefore i coulnt convert it to the pdf. To do that, i first convert xml and xsl to html and now try to convert the genereted html to pdf. Generated html is not well formed, and the i coulnt convert the html to pdf. I found a solution called tiddy, using fallowing page http://infohound.net/tidy/tidy.pl when i convert my html to well formed html then it works fine, but when i convert my html to well-formed html with the jar that tiddy served, it is not work and i get the fallowing error,
Exception in thread "main" com.itextpdf.tool.xml.exceptions.RuntimeWorkerException: Invalid nested tag head found, expected closing tag link. at com.itextpdf.tool.xml.XMLWorker.endElement(XMLWorker.java:134) at com.itextpdf.tool.xml.parser.XMLParser.endElement(XMLParser.java:395) at com.itextpdf.tool.xml.parser.state.ClosingTagState.process(ClosingTagState.java:70) at com.itextpdf.tool.xml.parser.XMLParser.parseWithReader(XMLParser.java:235) at com.itextpdf.tool.xml.parser.XMLParser.parse(XMLParser.java:213) at com.itextpdf.tool.xml.parser.XMLParser.parse(XMLParser.java:174) at com.itextpdf.tool.xml.XMLWorkerHelper.parseXHtml(XMLWorkerHelper.java:223) at com.itextpdf.tool.xml.XMLWorkerHelper.parseXHtml(XMLWorkerHelper.java:185) at html_to_pdf_xml_worker.html_to_pdf.main(html_to_pdf.java:22)
My code that converting the html is like,
import org.w3c.tidy.Tidy;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import org.w3c.dom.Document;
import org.w3c.tidy.Tidy;
public class set_html { public static void main(String[] args){ try{ FileInputStream FIS=new FileInputStream("sample.html"); FileOutputStream FOS=new FileOutputStream("my_xml.xhtml"); Tidy T=new Tidy(); Document D=T.parseDOM(FIS,FOS); } catch (java.io.FileNotFoundException e) {System.out.println(e.getMessage());} } }
and my html to pdf converter code is,
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import com.itextpdf.text.Document;
import com.itextpdf.text.DocumentException;
import com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfWriter;
import com.itextpdf.tool.xml.XMLWorkerHelper;
public class html_to_pdf { public static void main( String[] args ) throws DocumentException, IOException { // step 1 Document document = new Document(); // step 2 PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new FileOutputStream("pdf.pdf")); // step 3 document.open(); // step 4 XMLWorkerHelper.getInstance().parseXHtml(writer, document, new FileInputStream("my_xml.xhtml")); //step 5 document.close(); System.out.println( "PDF Created!" ); }
}
