HTML to PDF tool (Wkhtmltopdf) introduction, support for widows and Linux

Recent projects in the customer to mention a wonderful demand; Batch HTML into PDF file for archiving. Hear this demand do not know the wrong, the first study itext use Java development, a variety of Chinese garbled, Chinese do not show problems. Later on the web to search for the Wkhtmltopdf tool, the following is the complete description and code.

First download files: HTML to PDF file (Wkhtmltox) (including Windows EXE installer file and Linux executable), official download address

First, Windows operation steps

Installation: Wkhtmltox-0.12.3.2_msvc2013-win64.exe,cmd command into the installation directory

Run: wkhtmltopdf.exe [parameters, optional, can be multiple; wkhtmltopdf Chinese parameters] < need to turn the HTML path, required, can be multiple > < successful PDF file storage address, must fill >

A. Example: Wkhtmltopdf.exe–page-size A4 www.baidu.com test.pdf

second, the operation of Linux under the steps

Decompression: command: TAR-XVF wkhtmltox-0.12.3_linux-generic-amd64.tar.xz

Solve the Chinese do not display or garbled problem: Need font file cjkuni-uming, SMC, Stix into the/usr/share/fonts directory

Run: Enter the Wkhtmltox/bin directory./wkhtmltopdf [parameters, optional, can be multiple; wkhtmltopdf Chinese parameter details] < need to turn the HTML path, required, can be multiple > < successful PDF file storage address, must fill >

A. Example:./wkhtmltopdf–page-size A4 www.baidu.com pdf.pdf

third, implement batch HTML to PDF

by invoking Wkhtmltox executable file in Java

public class Htmltopdf {private static final Logger LOG = Loggerfactory.getlogger (Htmltopdf.class);

    private static final String Topdftool = "/root/wkhtmltox/bin/wkhtmltopdf"; /** * HTML to PDF * @param srcpath HTML path, can be the path on the hard disk, can also be network path * @param destpath PDF Save path * @return Conversion successfully returned TR
        UE */public static Boolean convert (String Srcpath, String destpath) {File File = new file (destpath);
        File parent = File.getparentfile ();
        If the PDF save path does not exist, create the path if (!parent.exists ()) {parent.mkdirs ();
        } StringBuilder cmd = new StringBuilder ();
        Cmd.append (Topdftool);
        Cmd.append ("");
        Cmd.append ("--page-size A2");//Parameter Cmd.append ("");
        Cmd.append (Srcpath);
        Cmd.append ("");

        Cmd.append (DestPath);
        Boolean result = true;
            try {Process proc = runtime.getruntime (). EXEC (cmd.tostring ()); Htmltopdfinter error = new HTMLTOPDFinter (Proc.geterrorstream ());
            Htmltopdfinter output = new Htmltopdfinter (Proc.getinputstream ());
            Error.start ();
            Output.start ();
            Proc.waitfor ();
        Log.info ("Html2pdf succeeded, Parameter---HTML path: {},pdf save path: {}", new object[] {srcpath, destpath});
            catch (Exception e) {log.error ("Html2pdf failed, Srcpath address: {}, error message: {}", new Object[]{srcpath, E.getmessage ()});
        result = false;
    return result; }
}

/**
 * When Java calls Wkhtmltopdf, to get the content returned by wkhtmltopdf/public
class Htmltopdfinter extends Thread {

    private static final Logger LOG = Loggerfactory
            . GetLogger (htmltopdfinter.class);

    Private InputStream is;

    Public Htmltopdfinter (InputStream are) {
        this.is = is;
    }

    public void Run () {
        try {
            InputStreamReader ISR = new InputStreamReader (IS, "utf-8");
            BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader (ISR);
            Br.readline ();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            log.error (e.getmessage ());
            E.printstacktrace ();}}

/**
 * Test
/public class Test {public

    static void Main (string[] args) {
        String htmlurl = "www.ba Idu.com ";
        String Path = "/root/file/pdf_test.pdf";
        Htmltopdf.convert (htmlurl, path);
    }
}

Note: HTML table can not be used THEAD, after the use of the page will appear two table head problem as shown:

That's probably it, please leave a message if you have any questions.
