Open HTML to PDF
A pure-Java library for converting well-formed HTML/CSS to PDF and images with accessible PDF support.
What is Open HTML to PDF?
Open HTML to PDF is a pure-Java library that converts well-formed HTML and CSS into PDF documents or images. It solves the problem of server-side PDF generation on the JVM by providing a fast, lightweight renderer that supports accessibility standards and common web formats. It is particularly useful for generating reports, invoices, and documents from HTML templates in Java applications.
Java developers and teams needing to generate PDFs from HTML/CSS in server-side applications, especially those requiring accessible PDFs or compliance with PDF/A standards.
Developers choose Open HTML to PDF for its performance advantages over browser-based renderers, its strong support for accessible PDF generation, and its pure-Java implementation that avoids external dependencies like a full browser engine.
