Hi All, Currently we are sending an HTML template in an email. We have an requirement of moving the HTML template content to PDF and sending as attachments.
As to my initial research, we can develop this using 2 different approaches - Convert the HTML file to PDF - Modify the PDF Also these are the several libraries I looked into and main drawbacks of those- - *iText - *This is not open source, commercial library [1] <http://itextpdf.com/> - *Apache FOP - *It is said FOP is more computing intensive. [2] <http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/> - *Apache PDFBox - *Can only use for PDF manipulation. [3] <https://pdfbox.apache.org/> - *flying-saucer *- Internally Flying Saucer uses iText <http://itextpdf.com/> to generate the pdf. [4] <https://code.google.com/archive/p/flying-saucer/> [1] - http://itextpdf.com/ <http://itextpdf.com/> [2] - http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/ <http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/> [3] - https://pdfbox.apache.org/ <https://pdfbox.apache.org/> [4] - https://code.google.com/archive/p/flying-saucer/ <https://code.google.com/archive/p/flying-saucer/> >From those I think the Apache PDFBox seems to matching our requirement. Please feel free to let me know if there are any other alternatives. I Appreciate your ideas and input on this.
