Creating PDF file in Java

I'm trying to create PDF file from HTML using Java. I've added two jar files.

  1. itextpdf-5.1.0
  2. xmlworker-5.5.6

My code:

import com.itextpdf.text.Document;
import com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfWriter;
import com.itextpdf.tool.xml.XMLWorkerHelper;
    String emailBody = "<html><body> This is my Project </body></html>";

    OutputStream file = new FileOutputStream(new File("E:\\Test.pdf"));
    Document document = new Document();
    PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, file);
    document.open();
    InputStream is = new ByteArrayInputStream(emailBody.getBytes());
    XMLWorkerHelper.getInstance().parseXHtml(writer, document, is);
    document.close();
    file.close();

I got an error from this line:

XMLWorkerHelper.getInstance().parseXHtml(writer, document, is);

It throws me this exception. I'm looking for a solution.

Thanks.

Solution

  • Most probably they are not compatiable to each other. Try with the following recent versions xmlworker-5.5.13.jar, itextpdf-5.5.13.jar
