Svg integration in pdf using flying saucer

I under gone a situation of converting html to pdf, Thankfully I can achieved this through flying saucer api. But My HTML consists of svg tags while converting I am unable to get the svg in pdf. It can be achieved using a Stackoverflow question and Tutorial.

What is meant by the replacedElementFactory?

ChainingReplacedElementFactory chainingReplacedElementFactory 
        = new ChainingReplacedElementFactory();
chainingReplacedElementFactory.addReplacedElementFactory(replacedElementFactory);
chainingReplacedElementFactory.addReplacedElementFactory(new SVGReplacedElementFactory());
renderer.getSharedContext().setReplacedElementFactory(chainingReplacedElementFactory);
Solution

  • It's just an error in the tutorial, the line with replacedElementFactory is not needed.

    Here is my working example.

    Java:

    import java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.OutputStream;

import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder;
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory;

import org.w3c.dom.Document;
import org.xhtmlrenderer.pdf.ITextRenderer;

public class PdfSvg {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
        factory.setNamespaceAware(true);
        DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
        Document inputDoc =  builder.parse("svg.html");

        ByteArrayOutputStream output = new ByteArrayOutputStream();

        ITextRenderer renderer = new ITextRenderer();

        ChainingReplacedElementFactory chainingReplacedElementFactory = new ChainingReplacedElementFactory();
        chainingReplacedElementFactory.addReplacedElementFactory(new SVGReplacedElementFactory());
        renderer.getSharedContext().setReplacedElementFactory(chainingReplacedElementFactory);

        renderer.setDocument(inputDoc, "");;
        renderer.layout();
        renderer.createPDF(output);

        OutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("svg.pdf");
        output.writeTo(fos);
    }
}

    HTML: 

    <html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
    svg {display: block;width:100mm;height:100mm}
</style>
</head>
<body>
    <div>
        <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
            <circle cx="50" cy="50" r="40" stroke="black" stroke-width="3"
                fill="red" />
        </svg>
    </div>
</body>
</html>

    The ChainingReplacedElementFactory, SVGReplacedElement and SVGReplacedElementFactory comes from the tutorial.
