Usage

Configurable and Cacheable

val pdf by lazy {
        HtmlToPdf(executable = "/usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf") {
            orientation(PageOrientation.LANDSCAPE)
            pageSize("Letter")
            marginTop("1in")
            marginBottom("1in")
            marginLeft("1in")
            marginRight("1in")
        }
}

Html String as input

val htmlString = "<html><body><h1>Hello World</h1></body></html>"

// convert and save if to file
val outputFile = Paths.get("/home/jasoet/document/destination.pdf").toFile()
val inputStream = pdf.convert(input = htmlString,output = outputFile) // will always return null if output is redirected

// Convert and return InputStream
val inputStream = pdf.convert(input = htmlString) // InputStream is open and ready to use

File as input

val file = File("/home/jasoet/source.html")

// convert and save if to file
val outputFile = Paths.get("/home/jasoet/document/destination.pdf").toFile()
val inputStream = pdf.convert(input = file,output = outputFile) // will always return null if output is redirected

// Convert and return InputStream
val inputStream = pdf.convert(input = file) // InputStream is open and ready to use

Url as input

val url = URL("https://www.google.com")

// convert and save if to file
val outputFile = Paths.get("/home/jasoet/document/destination.pdf").toFile()
val inputStream = pdf.convert(input = url,output = outputFile) // will always return null if output is redirected

// Convert and return InputStream
val inputStream = pdf.convert(input = url) // InputStream is open and ready to use

InputStream as Input

// get input stream from other executable
val inputStream = listOf("ssh", "jasoet@10.10.2.3","\"cat /home/jasoet/remotefile.html\"").execute()

// Save it to file
val outputFile = Paths.get("/home/jasoet/document/destination.pdf").toFile()
val inputStream = pdf.convert(input = url,output = outputFile) // will always return null if output is redirected

Using extensions

String extension

val outputFile = Paths.get("/home/jasoet/document/destination.pdf").toFile()
val inputStream = "<html><body><h1>Hello World</h1></body></html>".convertToPdf(output = outputFile) // will always return null if output is redirected

// Convert and return InputStream
val inputStream = "<html><body><h1>Hello World</h1></body></html>".convertToPdf {
                    orientation(PageOrientation.LANDSCAPE)
                    pageSize("Letter")
                    marginTop("1in")
                    marginBottom("1in")
                    marginLeft("1in")
                    marginRight("1in")
               }
// InputStream is open and ready to use

File extension

val outputFile = Paths.get("/home/jasoet/document/destination.pdf").toFile()
val inputStream = File("/home/jasoet/source.html").convertToPdf(output = outputFile) // will always return null if output is redirected

// Convert and return InputStream
val inputStream = File("/home/jasoet/source.html").convertToPdf {
                    orientation(PageOrientation.LANDSCAPE)
                    pageSize("Letter")
                    marginTop("1in")
                    marginBottom("1in")
                    marginLeft("1in")
                    marginRight("1in")
               }
// InputStream is open and ready to use

Url extension

// convert and save if to file
val outputFile = Paths.get("/home/jasoet/document/destination.pdf").toFile()
val inputStream = URL("https://www.google.com").convertToPdf(output = outputFile) // will always return null if output is redirected

// Convert and return InputStream
val inputStream = URL("https://www.google.com").convertToPdf {
                    orientation(PageOrientation.LANDSCAPE)
                    pageSize("Letter")
                    marginTop("1in")
                    marginBottom("1in")
                    marginLeft("1in")
                    marginRight("1in")
               } 
// InputStream is open and ready to use

InputStream as Input

val outputFile = Paths.get("/home/jasoet/document/destination.pdf").toFile()

// get input stream from other executable and save if to file
val inputStream = listOf("ssh", "jasoet@10.10.2.3","\"cat /home/jasoet/remotefile.html\"").execute()
                  .convertToPdf(output = outputFile) {
                    orientation(PageOrientation.LANDSCAPE)
                    pageSize("Letter")
                    marginTop("1in")
                    marginBottom("1in")
                    marginLeft("1in")
                    marginRight("1in")
               }
