itext pdf and textarea values problem

[vijay jamadade]

Hi Friends,

I have created a text editor using javascript which can format data entered in the textarea. After submit i am sending that value as a a string to add in the database alongwith the tags e.g

Mr., Ajay Mirani has over 8+ years of total industry experience which is inclusive of: 5 years in  Implementi<em>ng ERP applications (JD Edwards), More th</em>an 2 years in auditing, Implemented JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Xe. Highly self-motivated and able to set effective priorities to achieve<strong> immediate & long-term goals</strong> and meet project & operational deadlines. Excellent oral and written communication skills with outstanding interpersonal skills.

• Certified Chartered Accountant
• oracle certyukjsd
  

1. sun certified
2. scjp

strik through test

 

This i insert as a string but i want to display this string as i entered in the pdf document. I want to format the data as per the tags i have added above. Please tell me how i can provide or display this data in the pdf because i-text however going to consider it as a string.

Any comments guys

iText has no provisions for converting HTML to PDF directly. The easiest may be to render the HTML in a Swing component (like the HTMLEditorToolkit that's part of the standard class libraries), and then render that into a PDF (which iText can do).
