HTML-styled String to pdf using streams

#26478

Hi, I am trying to convert a HTML-styled String (for instance: “my text to show) to a pdf using streams:

StringReader isr2 = new StringReader(myhtmlstringl);
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
pd4ml.render(isr2, baos);
if I use a fieoutputstream, the pdf is created but show a blank page.
and if I use the bytearrayoutputstream, what can I do for show the pdf-result in my webpage.

Among PD4ML examples http://pd4ml.com/examples.zip there is PD4MLBySslServlet.java class, which ilustrates how to use PD4ML in web scenarios (just ignore SSL stuff there).

At first glance your Java code seems to be correct. So I would suspect source HTML as a reason of blank PDFs. Do you really have opening tag at the end of your HTML code? Please try to remove it – it may confuse the HTML parser.
