Hi,
I've been using iText for some
pdf generation at my workplace, and its a really good piece of software. I
usually unit-test all of my code, and have developed (actually still developing)
a simple testing-framework for doing junit testing of pdf creation
logic.
I have been able to do this
primarily because iText has a html-generation mode. I am the lead
programmer on the htmlparser project (http://htmlparser.sourceforge.net)
- a fast and simple parser that has been developed for dirty html. Using
htmlparser, I am able to pick up relevant details of a pdf page from its
corresponding html representation. There are some things that I am not able to
pick up but for the most part - it seems to be working fine.
I was wondering if you are
interested in unit-testing capability for iText - I'd be glad to check it
in.
Also, htmlparser is a lot faster
and far more robust than the other parsers around - I saw an effort in trying to
convert html pages to pdf. I might be able to help if the
author/community is interested.
Regards,
Somik
