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");

Converting HTML Forms to PDF - Field Names
When I use Adobe 8 to convert and HTML form to PDF all the field names in the resulting PDF have the crazy long names that are jumble of letters and numbers. So I always have to go back through and manually rename every field because I'm using another program to autopopulate the fields with data. Is there any way to get Acrobat to automatically name the fields in the PDF the same as they are named in the form either using the "name" or "id" properties of the HTML fields? I don't understand why this isn't the default behaviour to begin with.
The reason this is done is due to a fundamental difference between HTML forms and Acrobat forms. In HTML forms, fields with the same name do not necessarily share the same value, whereas in Acrobat forms they do.
In the conversion process, Acrobat gives each field a unique name, but also sets a field's mapping name to the name the field had in the original HTML form. This is so that if the PDF form is used to submit as "HTML", then the original field names will be used and any server process that is capable of dealing with the HTML form is capable of dealing with the resulting PDF form. So be aware that if you want to use your modified form to submit to a web server using the "HTML" format, the new field names that you set will not be used. What will be used are the hidden mapping names.
Unfortunately, I don't think there's anything you can do about any of this to make it work like you want.

How to convert internal table data to PDF format
HI,
I have an internal table data having one field with 255 chars. length.I want to send that intenal table data as attachemnt with external mail. i am thinking of converting that data into PDF format and use the FM to send the mail. How to convert internal table data to PDF format.
KishoreIn which format is your data in the internal table currently. Is it returned by a smartform/script or its just data fetched from some database table into an internal table. Since its obvious that the data should appear in the PDF with some Layout, you should be using smartform to format the data properly. See the Link

How to convert a .alsx file into pdf
How to convert a .alsx file into pdf

http://www.roothow.com
Thankls in adavance>But, from the windows explorer, if i do a right clic on the word document, with the context menu, i can directly convert to PDF
This is equivalent to using the PDFMaker facility in Word - that is,
the Acrobat button. Which is also the same thing that is done when you
use File > Create PDF > From File in Acrobat.
What it does is print to a PS file *and* do a lot of additional
processing to write stuff about links, tags etc. into the PS file.
>(no tmp PS file is used, cause the links are still working).
This isn't true, but it's certainly the case that you won't get links.
There seems to be no API, via any mechanism, still less the "obsolete"
(Microsoft's view) command line, to use PDFMaker from your program.

How to convert a HTML files into a text file using Java
Hi guys...!
I was wondering if there is a way to convert a HTML file into a text file using java programing language. Likewise I would also like to know if there is a way to convert any type of file (excel, power point, and word) into text using java.
By the way, I really appreciated the help that you guys gave me on my previous topic on how to extract tests from a pdf file.
Thank you....HTML files are already text files. What do you mean you want to convert them?
I think if you search the web, you can find things for converting those MS Office files to text (or extracting text from them, as I assume you mean). -

Q: What's the BEST WAY to translate/convert/import/export
from an HTML form input (PHP processor; i.e. text file) to either
an HTML email or a PDF email?
Online Application
HELP!You cannot do a form in an HTML email that will be filled out
in the email
body and submitted. The best you can do is to email a PDF
that gets
printed, or email a link to the webpage.

Convert Coldfusion Flash form to PDF?
Is it possible to convert a Coldfusion flash based form to a PDF form? I've tried it using Coldfusion 8 and Adobe Professional 8, but all I end up with is a blank PDF. It works just fine for a basic HTML based form. Is there some technical reason this doesn't work?... Because it seems rather stupid that ADOBE Coldfusion and ADOBE Acrobat don't work together properly.
It's an internal form, so i don't have any link. But the form is constructed using the standard flash form tags... example:<br /><br /><cfform name="form" action="exampleform.cfm" format="Flash"><br /><cfformitem><br /><cfformgroup><br /><cfinput><br /><cfselect><br /> <br />The entire form is mostly just a mix of those tags. Pretty standard stuff, but Adobe 8 Professional simply won't convert the form to PDF. Or, actually, it does but the form is blank. I'm usually just left with the graphic from the top of the page which likes outside the <cfform> tags.
