mvn deploy
After the client libarary is installed/deployed, you can use it in your Maven project by adding the following to your pom.xml:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.docraptor</groupId>
<artifactId>docraptor</artifactId>
<version>1.1.1</version>
</dependency>
Usage
See examples for runnable examples with file output, error handling, etc.
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
import com.docraptor.*;
public class Sync {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
DocApi docraptor = new DocApi();
ApiClient client = docraptor.getApiClient();
client.setUsername("YOUR_API_KEY_HERE");
//client.setDebugging(true);
Doc doc = new Doc();
doc.setTest(true); // test documents are free but watermarked
doc.setDocumentContent("<html><body>Hello World</body></html>"); // supply content directly
// doc.setDocumentUrl("http://docraptor.com/examples/invoice.html"); // or use a url
doc.setDocumentType(Doc.DocumentTypeEnum.PDF); // PDF or XLS or XLSX
doc.setName("docraptor-java.pdf"); // help you find a document later
doc.setJavascript(true); // enable JavaScript processing
// prince_options = new PrinceOptions();
// doc.setPrinceOptions(prince_options);
// prince_options.setMedia("screen"); // use screen styles instead of print styles
// prince_options.setBaseurl("http://hello.com") // pretend URL when using document_content
docraptor.createDoc(doc);
}
}
Docs created like this are limited to 60 seconds to render, check out the async example which allows 10 minutes.
We have guides for doing some of the common things:
- Headers and Footers including page skipping
- CSS Media Selector to make the page look exactly as it does in your browser
- Protect content with HTTP authentication or proxies so only DocRaptor can access them
With DocRaptor, it's fast and painless to convert HTML, CSS, and JavaScript into PDF and XLS documents with Java. Below are working Java examples for creating documents. Our API reference lists all the generation options and our style and formatting guide will help make it look perfect.
