Thanks for the reply Paulo however I am still struggling with how to
actually add the elements to the document after they are parsed into an
ArrayList. I have attached some code below and hopefully you will be able
to help me work through it or if you have an example I think a number of
other people and newbie's like myself would really benefit from it.
****************
Document document = new Document();
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
PdfWriter pdfWriter = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, baos);
document.open();
StyleSheet style = new StyleSheet();
style.loadTagStyle("li", "", "");
style.loadTagStyle("p", "", "");
StringReader sr = new StringReader(html_field_from_db);
ArrayList list = HTMLWorker.parseToList(sr, style);
PdfContentByte cb = pdfWriter.getDirectContent();
if (list != null) {
for (int i=0; i < list.size(); i++) {
ColumnText ct = new ColumnText(cb);
ct.addElement();
ct.go();
}
}
document.close();
****************
Thanks in advance
Mark

You want HTMLWorker. Search the mailing list for that name.
