CSS Background property not working in pdfHTML iText7 using java

I am trying to convert html into a pdf with the help of iText by using its method

HtmlConverter.convertToPdf(htmlString, pdfDocument, converterProp);

But it seems like this service is not honoring css properties defined in html.

Here is my html string

String html = "<html>"
            + "<head>"
            + "<style>"
                + "* {-webkit-box-sizing: border-box;-moz-box-sizing: border-box;box-sizing: border-box;}"
                + ".ng-hide {display: none !important;}"
                + "label { font-weight: normal; }"
                + "table { border-spacing: 0;border-collapse: collapse;}"
                + "td, th { padding: 0; }"
                + "@font-face { font-family: Muli; src: url(../fonts/Muli.woff2); }"
                + "body { font-family: 'Muli', sans-serif!important; margin: 0;padding: 0; }"
                + ".font-muli { font-family: Muli !important; }"
            + "</style>"
            + "</head>"
            + "<body>" 
            + "<div>"
                + "<div class='font-muli'>"
                    + "<div style='height: 0.69in; padding: 11px 16px; line-height: 0.49in; display: flex; font-size: 20pt;'>"
                        + "<div>"

                            + "<label title='abc' class='it pull-left' style='font-style: italic;float: left;max-width: 3.6in; text-overflow: ellipsis; overflow: hidden; white-space: nowrap;'>abc</label>"

                + "</div>"
            + "</div>"
            + "</body>"
}

And here I am converting it to pdf

LicenseKey.loadLicenseFile(LICENSE);
PdfWriter writer = new PdfWriter(destination_file);
PdfDocument pdf = new PdfDocument(writer);
pdf.addNewPage(PageSize.A2);
ConverterProperties prop = new ConverterProperties();
HtmlConverter.convertToPdf(html, pdf, prop);

But pdf does not have background image with repeated x. Please help me out if I am doing anything wrong? or any step is missing. Any help/suggestion would be appreciated.

Note: No issues with image url path, I see the image but there is not x-repeat pattern. Thanks.

Solution

  • Use attribute background-image instead of background

    <div style="background-image: url(../imgs/large.png)...

    CSS syntax: <div style="background-image:url(bgimage.jpg)">
