using itextpdf for creating pdf from html

Question

using itextpdf for converting a html to pdf. There are several images to be converted. However, sometimes image addresses are not correct. In such cases, I get a "file is not a recognized image format" error and the conversion stops.

I catch the exception but I don't know how to continue conversion bypassing that image.

Any ideas ?

my code :

        try {
            Document document = new Document( com.itextpdf.text.PageSize.A4 );
            String fileNameWithPath = filename;
            FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream( fileNameWithPath );
            PdfWriter pdfWriter = PdfWriter.getInstance( document, fos );
            document.open();
            document.addCreationDate();
);
            HTMLWorker htmlWorker = new HTMLWorker( document );
            htmlWorker.parse( new StringReader( htmlText ) );
            document.close();
            fos.close();

            return true;
        } 
     catch(DocumentException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
    return false;
    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
    return false;
    } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
    return false;
    } catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
    return false;
    }catch (Exception e) {
            File file = new File(absoluteFilePath);
            if(file.exists()) {
                boolean isDeleted = file.delete();
                Log.i(TAG, "PDF isDeleted: " + isDeleted);
            }
            Log.d(TAG, "Exception: " + e.getMessage());
            e.printStackTrace();
            return false;
        }
    }

and the error I get :

this is not a duplicate question because I've reviewed my question and deleted the old one.

also , now I have a solution for invalid images. I check the URL of each image before running the HTMLWorker parse command. However, there are other errors with other tags and I am not sure how error handling is done with iText 5.

can anybody help ?
