Hi,
I tried to convert a HTML page with ordered list and some div tags with
itextpdf, but it does not seem to work. I created the following simple
ordered list structure in HTML to demonstrate the problem:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Insert title here</title>
</head>
<body>
<!-- <div> -->
<ol>
<li>A
<ol>
<li>AA</li>
<li>AB</li>
<li>AC
<ul>
<li>ACA</li>
<li>ACB</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>AD
<ul>
<li>ADA</li>
<li>ADB</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
<!-- </div> -->
</body>
</html>
It works fine so far, and I get the correct, well formatted PDF. When,
however, I remove the comment around the div tag, it does not work any
more. I get all element of the ordered list in a single line, in the result
PDF file like this:
A AAABAC ACAACBAD ADAADB
My method for the conversion looks like this:
private void convertHtmlToPdf(String htmlFilePath, String
generatedPdfFilePath) throws IOException, FileNotFoundException,
DocumentException {
String fileContent = FileUtils.readFileToString(new File(htmlFilePath));
OutputStream file = new FileOutputStream(new
File(generatedPdfFilePath));
Document document = new Document();
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, file);
document.open();
InputStream is = new ByteArrayInputStream(fileContent.getBytes());
XMLWorkerHelper.getInstance().parseXHtml(writer, document, is);
document.close();
file.close();
}
So it is the simplest conversion code. I don't use any CSS, or insert any
pictures. In my real code however, I do need to use CSS for the conversion,
and the formatting is defined via div elements. So I can not simple remove
all the div-s to get the conversion working. Is it a bug, in itextpdf, or I
miss something? Has anybody any idea for a workaround, to deal with this
problem?
I am using the actually latest (5.5.6) version of itextpdf.
