Mark and All, I am also looking at another strategy for converting xhtml documents to PDF & RTF
1. For PDF: Use an XSL Formatter like FOP (or Antenna house) to convert the xhtml to PDF. 2. For RTF: Use an XML -> RTF converter such as Downcast. How do you compare these strategies versus itext (or a custom DOM parsing)? Thanks in advance. - Yugan. -----Original Message----- From: Sikri, Yugan Sent: Wednesday, June 18, 2003 8:33 AM To: 'Mark Hall'; '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [iText-questions] Generate Rtf/Pdf from XHTML Thanks for the feedback. Here's my doubt though. Even though we have a fairly extensive set of xhtml, isn't it better to use the existing itext implementation, and customize(build over) that. Otherwise, with a XML parser & DOM, we will basically be building what the HtmlParser has built, plus add the tags that it does not support. What do you think? I am not aware of other complexities that the HtmlParser implementation might introduce, so your advice is appreciated. - Yugan. -----Original Message----- From: Mark Hall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 17, 2003 5:24 PM To: Sikri, Yugan; '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Re: [iText-questions] Generate Rtf/Pdf from XHTML -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 On Friday 30 May 2003 17:05, Sikri, Yugan wrote: > We basically have a WYSIWYG Editor that end users use to generate HTML.

Now that I've had time to look at your html, I'd say that you would need quite a lot of customization. It would probably be easier if you create a DOM yourself with some parser and then do the conversion of that DOM into an iText document. Greetings, Mark - -- Adults die young.
