I am developing a JSF project and I have a doubt about reporting. The idea is to offer the users reports in both HTML and PDF formats. This should work developing the reports in HTML+CSS+JS and whenever a user needs a PDF report just convert the HMTL+CSS+JS to PDF. Does somebody know a free Java library for converting the HTML to PDF? This should be blind to the user. Other proposals are accepted. Thanks in advance. |

Apache FOP would be one solution which is an XSLT based solution although it does not support HTML5. Flying Saucer, wkhtmltopdf are some free solutions which are worthy a try. Commercial libraries like PriceXML offer support to CSS3. Pdfcrowd is yet another commercial solution. |

Would Jasper Reports be an option? From the same report file you can generate many formats, PDF and HTML (+CSS) are two of them. Plus there is a GUI report designer. |

Free solution: wkhtmltopdf - uses WebKit under the hood. Commercial solution: PrinceXML - uses it's own ACID 2 compliant HTML rendering engine. |

Try out Flying Saucer It internally uses iText and pretty good library |
