Hi,
Thanks to Paolo Soares for replying to my query.
"If you're looking for a html->pdf converter iText may or may not be the
best options depending on what kind of html you have. iText can really
help you if the report is directly created in pdf."
best options depending on what kind of html you have. iText can really
help you if the report is directly created in pdf."
This is what Paolo has replied. I dont mind creating the report directly in pdf. But I have to do it from jsp (writing java code) and the program must automatically open the pdf in the user screen after the report is completed.
Is this functionality achievable through iText.
Thanks and Regards
Neil Banerjee

So you want to convert an html page into a pdf.

Yes it is. Java even comes with one.

If you're looking for a html->pdf converter iText may or may not be the
best options depending on what kind of html you have. iText can really
help you if the report is directly created in pdf.
