Does PDFBox support HTML - PDF conversion?

Hiya all,

I am evaluating couple of technologies/libraries which can convert my HTML content to a PDF. I am done with my research on iText, YaHP and Apache FOP etc. and evaluated their pros and cons. PDFBox was also there in my list but I heard from people that it doesn't support HTML-PDF conversion. Is it true and are there any plans to incorporate this in the near future versions of PDFBox? I would like to hear from PDFBox folks about this! 😊

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Reesh

I'm afraid PDFBox can't do that. IMHO choose Apache FOP if you're looking for
an apache licensed lib :-)

I'm not sure if it does, but we've tried PD4ML for this and it worked well.
It is a Java library that is not free but is reasonably priced.
