Creating pdf in vaadin

Vaadin 6 / 7 / 8 Framework UI

Hi…
Suggest a way to create pdf of the page contents in vaadin.

There is no standard way to do this. A while back there was a discussion that led Marko to create the
Screendump
 add-on. The idea would be to read the HTML back, and give it to a tool like
wkhtmltopdf
.

The missing steps are to read the HTML and remove what is not needed (the on-line demo shows an example the HTML produced), and to create a style sheet suitable for paper-sized output.

Is it possible with java iText library. ??

See for example http://jcraane.blogspot.com/2010/09/printing-in-vaadin.html

I understood your question as “Can I create a printable version of my Vaadin page without rewriting code”. If you use iText to create your content you have to program the printable version separately.

For anyone else who searches this up, another great example which uses a PDF form approach (much easier than building an entire PDF through itext’s api imo) can be found here
