[Atul Darne]

hi guys,

I have a page designed in html and has Div tags in it,
i want to make a PDF of the inner html in the div,

how can i achieve it ?
any way to achieve this ?

[William Brogden]

Have you researched PDF creating tools in java? That would seem to me to be the first step.

iam using iText libraries for converting HTML to PDF, but i need to add the forms, swf files and images to the created PDF.

[Ulf Dittmer]

iText can handle forms and images. I don't think there's a way to embed SWF in PDFs, and if there is, I'm just about certain that iText does not support it.

i tried embedding ready swf file in the pdf using the itext, it works fine.
here is the code

import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;

import com.itextpdf.text.Document;
import com.itextpdf.text.DocumentException;
import com.itextpdf.text.Rectangle;
import com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfAnnotation;
import com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfDeveloperExtension;
import com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfFileSpecification;
import com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfIndirectReference;
import com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfName;
import com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfWriter;
import com.itextpdf.text.pdf.richmedia.RichMediaActivation;
import com.itextpdf.text.pdf.richmedia.RichMediaAnnotation;
import com.itextpdf.text.pdf.richmedia.RichMediaConfiguration;
import com.itextpdf.text.pdf.richmedia.RichMediaInstance;
import com.itextpdf.text.pdf.richmedia.RichMediaParams;


public class SWF 
{
    
	/** The resulting PDF file. */
    public static final String RESULT = "D:/testfiles/guitar.pdf";
    /** The path to a Flash application. */
    public static final String RESOURCE = "D:/testfiles/guitar11.swf";

    /**
     * Main method.
     *
     * @param    args    no arguments needed
     * @throws DocumentException 
     * @throws IOException
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException, DocumentException 
    {
        // step 1
        Document document = new Document();
        // step 2
        PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new FileOutputStream(RESULT));
        writer.setPdfVersion(PdfWriter.PDF_VERSION_1_7);
        writer.addDeveloperExtension(PdfDeveloperExtension.ADOBE_1_7_EXTENSIONLEVEL3);
        // step 3
        document.open();
        // step 4
        // we prepare a RichMediaAnnotation
        RichMediaAnnotation richMedia = new RichMediaAnnotation(writer, new Rectangle(36, 400, 559,806));
        // we embed the swf file
        PdfFileSpecification fs = PdfFileSpecification.fileEmbedded(writer, RESOURCE, "guitar11.swf", null);
        // we declare the swf file as an asset
        PdfIndirectReference asset = richMedia.addAsset("guitar11.swf", fs);
        // we create a configuration
        RichMediaConfiguration configuration = new RichMediaConfiguration(PdfName.FLASH);
        RichMediaInstance instance = new RichMediaInstance(PdfName.FLASH);
        RichMediaParams flashVars = new RichMediaParams();
        instance.setParams(flashVars);
        instance.setAsset(asset);
        configuration.addInstance(instance);
        // we add the configuration to the annotation
        PdfIndirectReference configurationRef = richMedia.addConfiguration(configuration);
        // activation of the rich media
        RichMediaActivation activation = new RichMediaActivation();
        activation.setConfiguration(configurationRef);
        richMedia.setActivation(activation);
        // we add the annotation
        PdfAnnotation richMediaAnnotation = richMedia.createAnnotation();
        richMediaAnnotation.setFlags(PdfAnnotation.FLAGS_PRINT);
        writer.addAnnotation(richMediaAnnotation);
        // step 5
        document.close();
        
        System.out.println("Done");
    }
}

now the issue is , my swf file is a fusion chart file that iam using, which gets the data on fly. iam not having a swf file on disk to embed.

any way to get this solve ?
