Convert HTML to RTF

Hi,
Is there a way to build a utility program which accepts HTML file and converts it to RTF Format. I do not wish to install or purchase any 3rd party software. Please suggest.
Regards,
Murali

Write or find an HTML parser; define the required mapping from input to output; and implement it. There is no RTF library built into Java so you will have to find or write that too.

Textutil html to rtf vs. TextEdit

I have noticed what looks like a bug in either TextEdit of textutil, but not sure where it is. When I convert html to RTF using the textutil command, the resulting file opens in TextEdit with black text on a black background. It looks a lot like the Safari email creation bug they just fixed with 5.0.1 (yes, I installed it).
Opening the resulting file in TexEdit Plus, Pages, OmniOutliner, Word, OpenOffice all display the file without the black background. I will be reporting it to AppleCare tomorrow.
What I'm not sure about and thought I'd ask here is: do you think the RTF code output from textutil is wrong, or TextEdit is displaying the file incorrectly. Since all the other programs display it correctly, I am tempted to implicate TextEdit, but maybe they just ignore the "background" instruction that seems to be placed by textutil (see below).
If i create a document in TextEdit and save to disk, I get the following code:
{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\cocoartf1038\cocoasubrtf320
{\fonttbl\f0\fswiss\fcharset0 Helvetica;}
{\colortbl;\red255\green255\blue255;}
\margl1440\margr1440\vieww9000\viewh8400\viewkind0
\pard\tx720\tx1440\tx2160\tx2880\tx3600\tx4320\tx5040\tx5760\tx6480\tx7200\tx792 0\tx8640\ql\qnatural\pardirnatural
\f0\fs24 \cf0 Hello World}
If I create a barebones html document (see script below) and convert html to RTF using textutil, I get:
{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\cocoartf1038\cocoasubrtf320
{\fonttbl\f0\froman\fcharset0 Times-Roman;}
{\colortbl;\red255\green255\blue255;}
\deftab720
{\*\background {\shp{\*\shpinst\shpleft0\shptop0\shpright0\shpbottom0\shpfhdr0\shpbxmargin\shp bymargin\shpwr0\shpwrk0\shpfblwtxt1\shpz0\shplid1025{\sp{\sn shapeType}{\sv 1}}{\sp{\sn fFlipH}{\sv 0}}{\sp{\sn fFlipV}{\sv 0}}{\sp{\sn fillColor}{\sv 0}}{\sp{\sn fFilled}{\sv 1}}{\sp{\sn lineWidth}{\sv 0}}{\sp{\sn fLine}{\sv 0}}{\sp{\sn bWMode}{\sv 9}}{\sp{\sn fBackground}{\sv 1}}}}}
\pard\pardeftab720\ql\qnatural
\f0\fs24 \cf0 Hello World}
What seems to be the big difference is the "background" code -- If I remove it, all is well. It apparently specifies the background for the document, and in this case tells it to be a rectangular shape with various parameters, but if I try changing the shape or fill color it doesn't seem to make a difference.
So I guess the question is why textutil is putting that code in there, and why it screws up TextEdit's display...
(the spec for the parameters is here: http://www.biblioscape.com/rtf15_spec.htm )
Here's an AppleScript that re-creates the problem:
set oFile to "/Users/username/Desktop/oFile.html"
set strHTML to "<head><meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=UTF-8\"/></head><body>Hello World</body>"
try
set fDesc to open for access oFile with write permission
write strHTML to fDesc as «class utf8»
close access fDesc
on error
try
close access fDesc
return strText
end try
end try
set strCommand to "textutil -convert rtf " & (quoted form of (POSIX path of oFile))
set strResult to (do shell script strCommand)

If you want to report this issue to Apple's engineering, send a bug report or an enhancement request via its Bug Reporter system. To do this, join the Mac Developer Program—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report or enhancement request. The nice thing with this procedure is that you get a response and a follow-up number; thus, starting a dialog with engineering

Convert doc to rtf or doc to html

Is there any approach to convert the doc files to html or rtf format? The appache poi just provides the read facilities not the converting facilities.
It's not the problem to convert from rtf to html using XSL transformation.
But what about doc to rtf. Probably there already written solutions using poi or smth. else?

Two projects that spring to mind are Apache POI and Apache FOP.
POI:
http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/index.html
FOP:
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/
Either way, you are in for some tough development if you want to do this using Java, and you might want to consider switch to a more suitable platform such as .NET. Word documents are highly microsoft specific so you will want to use a microsoft platform to work with them for the least amount of headaches and risks.

Convert HTML codes to RTF

Hi,
In a Java Servlet, I need to convert HTML codes into an RTF/word document.
Any help for some related Java API ?

Converting HTML into a Word document

Hi all,
I have a JSP whose content type is set so that the HTML it produces is opened up in Word. Now this works fine until images come into the equation, as these images must lie somewhere in order to be referenced from the HTML code. As this document must be 'stanalone', booting up the HTML in Word and simply changing the file extension is no good as it is still HTML under the hood.
What I therefore would like to do it generate a Word document from this HTML that is independent in the fact that it 'holds' these images within itself and does not rely on external resources. Does anyone know how I can achieve this?
I have looked into Jakarta POI and have written this off as an option because 1) it is still in development and 2) there is no documentation or examples of how to use what is already there. I am assuming someone has come across this problem before and knows of a solution out there that I could use.
Many thanks in advance!

HI,
Thanks all for your replies! Unfortuantely it can't be PDF as the creator will need to edit it before the document is complete. I have actually looked into generating an RTF document instead, but the example I tried seemed to loose the image data. Unfortuantely I know nothing about RTF and so kind of gave up on it :(
Here is the code I used:
import java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream;
import java.io.StringReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import javax.swing.text.BadLocationException;
import javax.swing.text.html.HTMLDocument;
import javax.swing.text.StyledEditorKit;
import javax.swing.text.rtf.RTFEditorKit;
import javax.swing.text.html.HTMLEditorKit;
public class FormatConverter {
 private HTMLDocument tempHTMLDoc;
 private HTMLEditorKit htmlKit;
 private RTFEditorKit rtfKit;
 public FormatConverter() {
 tempHTMLDoc = new HTMLDocument();
 htmlKit = new HTMLEditorKit();
 rtfKit = new RTFEditorKit();
 private String fudge(String strText) {
 String strResult = "";
 StringReader reader = new StringReader(strText);
 try {
 tempHTMLDoc.remove(0,tempHTMLDoc.getLength());
 htmlKit.read(reader,tempHTMLDoc,0);
 ByteArrayOutputStream byteArrayOutputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
 rtfKit.write(byteArrayOutputStream,tempHTMLDoc,0,tempHTMLDoc.getLength());
 strResult = byteArrayOutputStream.toString();
 catch(IOException ie){}
 catch(BadLocationException ble){}
 return strResult;
 public static void main(String args[]) {
 FormatConverter conv = new FormatConverter();
 String strRTF = conv.fudge("<IMG src=\"http://intratestgbr/announcements/images/1093429553065.jpg\"> 50 pounds, wow");
 System.out.println("RTF: '"+strRTF+"'");
 strRTF = conv.fudge("<html><head>Description with some formatting </head></html>");
 System.out.println("RTF: '"+strRTF+"'");
 System.exit(0);
}The output I got from this was:
 \rtf1\ansi
 \fonttbl\f0\fnil Monospaced;
 \colortbl\red0\green0\blue0;\red0\green0\blue255;
 \par
 \~50 pounds, \cf1 wow\par
}Like I said, when I open the RTF output in Word, everything is fine apart from the missing image. If one of you very nice people could point me in the right direction of a way to convert it to RTF instead while still maintaining the images this would certainly be a very acceptable solution and I would be very grateful :)
Many thanks again!

HTML to PDF with Java, using OpenOffice.org - example here: [http://www.dancrintea.ro/html-to-pdf/|http://www.dancrintea.ro/html-to-pdf/]
You can use OpenOffice.org, running as a server and command it remotely for document convertion.
Besides HTML to PDF, there are also possible other convertions:
doc --> pdf, html, txt, rtf
xls --> pdf, html, csv
ppt --> pdf, swf
Code example:
import officetools.OfficeFile; // this is my tools package
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(new File("c:/test.html"));
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(new File("c:/test.pdf"));
// suppose OpenOffice.org runs on localhost, port 8100
OfficeFile f = new OfficeFile(fis,"localhost","8100", true);
f.convert(fos,"pdf");

HTML to RTF Convertor

I've got a number of HTML formatted datafields that users have entered using the APEX text editors (FCK).
I would like to integrate those fields with a report but the report if not interpreting the HTML very well. As such I'd actually like to convert the HTML to RTF.
I see a number of commercial DLL's exist for doing this within end applications.
I'd prefer to actually do this conversion at the database side - has anyone done anything similar? Or have any suggestions for an approach?
Thanks,
Scott

I'm working with Crystal Reports - the report must be customer quality. And the issue surrounds the fact that Crystal only supports limited HTML tags (see http://technicalsupport.businessobjects.com/KanisaSupportSite/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=c2014842&sliceId=&dialogID=9876280&stateId=1%200%209874388)
But it's RTF support is a lot better, hence the desire to convert the HTML to RTF.

Hi,
the only other ways (as I know), if you really want to convert is
a) write a parser to convert html into csv(xls)
b) use a html2csv script on the os level
like:
http://sebsauvage.net/python/html2csv.py (or just google html2csv)
c) use excel (data source web; local file: "file:///C:/test.htm"

Is it possible to convert *.doc to *.rtf in a java program?

Hi :-)
My challenge is to develop a web-app in ADF Faces. Now i verify some technologies to store mailmerge letters in an easy way. The user of my web-app should upload a MS Word mailmerge document and a csv data source file. My web-app must thereupon convert this two files to a pdf per csv-row and store it to a ftp.
I have build a demo using the open office API. But now i want to try the same by using apache POI and FOP. I can merge the doc files with POI and i can create PDF with FOP.
My problem is, that POI cant convert to a rtf file and FOP uses an rtf file to create a pdf. I dont know, if its possible to convert a doc file to a rtf file. If its possible, is there an API, which will help me out?
Regards
Majo
btw...I am not sure, if its the right forum for my question :-/

HeHe, no sorry. The binary file is the same, because Windows bind doc and rtf with MS Word, it opens the file, which you have renamed to *.rtf in MS Word. But as a doc document, not as a rtf file ;-)
And i dont want to open the rtf file in MS Word. I want to process the rtf file in java.
Thanks

Problem reading html and rtf emails

When I send emails from my pc to my iPhone 5 in html or rtf format they are unreadable as all of the coding instructions are also included in the text when it appears on screen. This was never a problem with my iPhone 4 so I am not sure what has changed. I have a business contact who has had similar problems in the recent past with my emails so I know it is not just me.
I have tried sending html emails from other pc's in the office to my phone and they are all readable so perhaps it is something in the set up of my pc that is causing this issue. As my office is changing over to iPhone 5's does anybody have any solution to what will become a very annoyinmg problem.
Obviously I could send all of my emails in plain text but that doesn't really work for what I need to send, logo's / graphics etc.

Hi
The best way to organize data and images to get them next to each other is to use a table (no borders) in your RTF template. Create a two celled table and drop the image into one and the text next to it.

Tim
