Hello,

I've been experimenting with iText for about 4 days and have come close 
to my solution but keep getting stumped. I have a web page that displays 
database info and I want to have the option for users to generate a pdf 
version if needed. I am using Java and there are two places where I keep 
getting stuck::

1. GRAB THE HTML THAT THE JSP GENERATES ON THE FLY
- have tried  a URLConnection (problems with re-login here)
- playing with a custom tag that incases the page then saving it to a 
string using the doAfterBody() method. This hasen't been working too 
well. The jsp has several layers of includes and may be too complex for 
this.

2. CONVERT THE HTML TO A ITEXT DOCUMENT
-Once I grap the html, how do I convert the HTML that the JSP creates 
over to an iText Document object so that I can use the PDFWriter to 
write it out as a ByteArrayOutputStream. I am still searching the 
archives and using the tutorial provided.

Has anybody had to develop a similar solution. It seems like this would 
be a common need. Perhaps I am approachng this the wrong way or don't 
understand iText enough yet.

Any input would be GREATLY appleciated.

Thanks, Richard
