# Convert HTML to PDF in Android

Convert HTML to PDF in Android with a simple to use HTML to PDF API, includes code samples.

{% hint style="info" %}
**HTML to PDF conversion is available for Android API 19 and above.**
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Internet connection is not required when converting local HTML files. However, it is required for converting HTTP/HTTPS links.
{% endhint %}

The [HTML to PDF](https://sdk.apryse.com/api/android/javadoc/reference/com/pdftron/pdf/utils/HTML2PDF.html) conversion API accepts different sources, such as HTTP/HTTPS URLs, HTML strings, and everything that can be loaded in a [WebView](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/WebView.html).

## From link

To convert a link URL to PDF, simply:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Java" %}
{% code lineNumbers="true" %}

```java
public void convertFromUrl(Context context, String url, Uri folder, String outputFileName) {
    HTML2PDF.fromUrl(context, url, folder, outputFileName, new HTML2PDF.HTML2PDFListener() {
        @Override
        public void onConversionFinished(String pdfOutput, boolean isLocal) {
            // Handle callback when conversion finished
        }

        @Override
        public void onConversionFailed(String error) {
            // Handle callback if conversion failed
        }
    });
}
```

{% endcode %}
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Kotlin" %}
{% code lineNumbers="true" %}

```kotlin
fun convertFromUrl(context: Context, url: String, folder: Uri, outputFileName: String) {
    HTML2PDF.fromUrl(context, url, folder, outputFileName, object : HTML2PDF.HTML2PDFListener {
        override fun onConversionFinished(pdfOutput: String, isLocal: Boolean) {
            // Handle callback when conversion finished
        }

        override fun onConversionFailed(error: String?) {
            // Handle callback if conversion failed
        }
    })
}
```

{% endcode %}
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

## From HTML string

To convert an HTML string to PDF, simply:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Java" %}
{% code lineNumbers="true" %}

```java
public void convertFromHtml(Context context, String baseUrl, String htmlSting) {
    HTML2PDF.fromHTMLDocument(context, baseUrl, htmlSting, new HTML2PDF.HTML2PDFListener() {
        @Override
        public void onConversionFinished(String pdfOutput, boolean isLocal) {
            // Handle callback when conversion finished
        }

        @Override
        public void onConversionFailed(String error) {
            // Handle callback if conversion failed
        }
    });
}
```

{% endcode %}
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Kotlin" %}
{% code lineNumbers="true" %}

```kotlin
fun convertFromHtml(context: Context, baseUrl: String, htmlSting: String) {
    HTML2PDF.fromHTMLDocument(context, baseUrl, htmlSting, object : HTML2PDF.HTML2PDFListener {
        override fun onConversionFinished(pdfOutput: String, isLocal: Boolean) {
            // Handle callback when conversion finished
        }

        override fun onConversionFailed(error: String?) {
            // Handle callback if conversion failed
        }
    })
}
```

{% endcode %}
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

where `myBaseUrl` is the URL to use as the page's base URL. If null defaults to `about:blank` and `myHtmlData` is a String of data in the `UTF-8` encoding. Click \[here for more info]\(<https://developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/WebView.html#loadDataWithBaseURL(java.lang.String>, java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String)).

## From other sources

If none of the above fit your needs, you can also pass in a `WebView` directly for conversion:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Java" %}
{% code lineNumbers="true" %}

```java
public void convertFromWebView(WebView myWebview) {
    HTML2PDF.fromWebView(myWebview, new HTML2PDF.HTML2PDFListener() {
        @Override
        public void onConversionFinished(String pdfOutput, boolean isLocal) {
            // do something with the PDF output
        }

        @Override
        public void onConversionFailed(String error) {
            // handle error
        }
    });
}
```

{% endcode %}
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Kotlin" %}
{% code lineNumbers="true" %}

```kotlin
fun convertFromWebView(myWebview: WebView) {
    HTML2PDF.fromWebView(myWebview, object : HTML2PDF.HTML2PDFListener {
        override fun onConversionFinished(pdfOutput: String, isLocal: Boolean) {
            // do something with the PDF output
        }

        override fun onConversionFailed(error: String?) {
            // handle error
        }
    })
}
```

{% endcode %}
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.apryse.com/android/conversion/html-to-pdf.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
