pd4ml integration with phantomjs

#26937

Hi, I am pd4ml rookie here. So, please forgive me if I am asking a primeval question.
I am trying to integrate pd4ml with phantomjs to generate a pdf from html that contains javascript. So far, I was unable to generate for a simple html using the web module. I searched for examples but could not find anything to my satisfaction. I am posting my actual code here.
This is my java code(taken from the toc example provided in the downloads). The only change I made(as mentioned in https://pd4ml.com/pd4ml_web.htm) was to use the web.pd4ml package. I am using the same sample.html file that comes with the example.

package main;

import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.Insets;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;

import org.zefer.pd4ml.PD4Constants;
import org.zefer.pd4ml.PD4PageMark;
import org.zefer.pd4ml.web.PD4ML;

public class WebPageConverterWithPhantomJS {

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
WebPageConverterWithPhantomJS converter = new WebPageConverterWithPhantomJS();
String htmlFileName = "C:\DEV\workspace\PD4MLExample\examples\toc\sample.html";
File pdfFile = new File("C:\DEV\workspace\PD4MLExample\examples\toc\sampleUsingPhantomJS.pdf");
converter.generatePDF(htmlFileName, pdfFile, PD4Constants.A4,
args.length > 2 ? args[2] : null, args.length > 3 ? args[3] : null );
System.out.println("done.");
}

private void generatePDF(String inputHTMLFileName, File outputPDFFile, Dimension format, String fontsDir, String headerBody)
throws Exception {

java.io.FileOutputStream fos = new java.io.FileOutputStream(outputPDFFile);
PD4ML pd4ml = new PD4ML("C:\DEV\workspace\PD4MLExample\public\tools\phantomjs.exe");
pd4ml.setPageInsets(new Insets(20, 10, 10, 10));
pd4ml.setHtmlWidth(950);
pd4ml.setPageSize(pd4ml.changePageOrientation(format)); // landscape page orientation
if ( fontsDir != null && fontsDir.length() > 0 ) {
pd4ml.useTTF( fontsDir, true );
}
if ( headerBody != null && headerBody.length() > 0 ) {
PD4PageMark header = new PD4PageMark();
header.setAreaHeight( -1 ); // autocompute
header.setHtmlTemplate( headerBody ); // autocompute
pd4ml.setPageHeader( header );
}
pd4ml.enableDebugInfo();

InputStream is = new FileInputStream(inputHTMLFileName);
InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(is, "UTF-8");

pd4ml.render(isr, fos);
//pd4ml.render("file:" + inputHTMLFileName, fos);
}
}

This is the change I made in the html . Included bootstrap css, font-awesome css, jquery and bootstrap js files.

<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
..
<LINK href="i/W3C-REC.css" type=text/css rel=stylesheet>
<LINK href="i/default.css" type=text/css rel=STYLESHEET>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="public/stylesheets/bootstrap-2.3.css"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="public/stylesheets/font-awesome.css" />
.
.
<script type="text/javascript" src="public/javascripts/jquery-1.7.2.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="public/javascripts/bootstrap-2.1.min.js"></script>
.
.
</HEAD>
<BODY>

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".thisred").addClass("red"); //testing only.
});
</script>

...
</BODY>

When I execute this code, it throws the error

090b2 Pro (eval)
ReferenceError: Can't find variable: $

c:%5CUsers%5CUKALIVI%5CAppData%5CLocal%5CTemp%5Cpd4ml1002373815533658363.htm:29
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.zefer.pd4ml.pdf.parser.h.o00000(Ljava/io/InputStream;)[B

at main.WebPageConverterWithPhantomJS.main(WebPageConverterWithPhantomJS.java:23)

If I change the instantiation of pd4ml to :

PD4ML pd4ml = new PD4ML("C:\DEV\workspace\PD4MLExample\public\tools\phantomjs.exe");

I don’t get the error and the console shows done. But the pdf generated is not useful, the pd4ml tags were not recognized I think.

done.

Could you please let me know what I am missing here. Also, could you please provide some examples for integration with phantomjs.
