I am not very experienced in Java and I am having trouble converting a ByteArrayInputStream object to a FileInputStream object.

Is there any way to do that ?

I wrote code that takes a file URL and pass it to this function renderer.setDocument(url);

Here is my code:

 String url = new File(File_To_Convert).toURI().toURL().toString();
 String HTML_TO_PDF = "C:/Taha/SmartPlannerNew/ConvertedFile.pdf";       

  ITextRenderer renderer = new ITextRenderer();
         renderer.setDocument(url);

but now I don't want to write anything on the hard disk so I exchanged the file with a ByteArrayInputStream that contains my text now , and I want to pass this to ITextRenderer instead of passing the File URL.

Is there any way to do that?

    Are you sure you don't mean FileOutputStream? Usually you create an output stream from an input stream. – Gilbert Le Blanc Mar 11 '13 at 19:07

  • It looks like you want to use iText to convert HTML to PDF. This is possible. I think that rather than trying to piece the solution together yourself you would be well advised to study one or more examples. [Here's a StackOverflow question dealing exactly with this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/235851/using-itext-to-convert-html-to-pdf) [Here's a nice simple example of converting HTML to PDF](http://javaxtendsolutions.wordpress.com/2011/01/03/itext-1-5-html-to-pdf/). If you manage to read your input file into a String you will be able to use that example as the beginning of your code. – Carl Smotricz Mar 11 '13 at 19:35
  • This looks like the same: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1236429/whats-the-easiest-way-of-converting-an-xhtml-string-to-pdf-using-flying-saucer But I'm not sure. Is the `ITextRenderer` from this "FlyingSaucer" library, or from "itext"? (Or are they the same? I didn't want do google-guess this...) – Marco13 Jan 01 '17 at 15:35
