Convert text to PDF

Question

I am trying to create a PDF file by inserting some text into it with a proper structure in Android.

Document doc = new Document();
PdfWriter.getInstance(doc, new FileOutputStream("urgentz.pdf"));
doc.open();
Image image = Image.getInstance ("urgentzImageahslkdhaosd.jpg");
doc.add(new Paragraph("Your text blah bleh"));
doc.add(image);               
doc.close();

The above code does not work.

Here is a tutorial of how to Convert Text to PDF in Java. Hope this helps. http://www.roseindia.net/java/java-conversion/TextToPDF.shtml — gkiar, Aug 17 '12 at 14:01

Did you properly add all of the .jar files to your project? (Check your Java Build Path) — gkiar, Aug 17 '12 at 14:15
What is the error? Can you edit your question and add the stacktrace? — Alexis Pigeon, Aug 17 '12 at 14:19

Without seeing stacktrace I can only guess what's wrong. You might find these questions useful:

Some ideas:

Check File paths. You have specified only filenames to pdf and image without any paths. Use something like /mnt/sdcard/<YourFolderHere>/somefile.pdf and make sure you have defined android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE in AndroidManifest.xml
Use droidText instead of iText
Try another PDF Writer library http://coderesearchlabs.com/androidpdfwriter/
