Convert HTML to PDF in Java

A simple HTML to PDF conversion is a useful first test because it confirms that the Aspose.HTML classes resolve and that the application can create an output file. The example passes an HTML string, a base URI, default PdfSaveOptions, and the output path to Converter.convertHTML().

To convert HTML to PDF in Java:

  1. Add Aspose.HTML for Java to your project as described in the installation guide.
  2. Prepare the source HTML string and use . as its base URI for resolving any relative resources.
  3. Create a PdfSaveOptions object with the default PDF settings.
  4. Call Converter.convertHTML() and specify output.pdf as the destination file.
1// Convert HTML to PDF in one line of code using Java
2
3// Invoke the ConvertHTML method to convert the HTML to PDF
4Converter.convertHTML("<span>Hello, World!!</span>", ".", new PdfSaveOptions(), "output.pdf");
