HI,

We have a requirement where we want to convert documents from Web URL to pdf. Do the groupdocs API support this functionality? If so, help me navigate to the required source code. Also, does groupdocs support aspx to pdf conversion?

@atirtahir3 ,

I tried executing the code that you have mentioned. It doesn’t seem to work for me. Firstly, HtmlSaveOptions is striked out saying it is deprecated. Secondly, I am providing SharePoint Online web url and I get a error saying “Web Resource Not found”

@adnanshubedar,

Can you please share that URL with us?

Yes. I tried other web url as well. Following are the URL’s

@atirtahir3,

Any clue by when can we hear on this? We want to implement this functionality in a week or so. Was this working before and has issues now or is this newly introduced?

@adnanshubedar,

Please use this build/Jar and let us know if issue persists. Given below is the code to convert a URL to PDF:

ConversionConfig conversionConfig = new ConversionConfig();
ConversionHandler conversionHandler = new ConversionHandler(conversionConfig);
String guid = "http://www.safalniveshak.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Safal-Niveshak-Stock-Analysis-Excel-Version-3.0.xlsx";
ConvertedDocument convertedDocumentPath = conversionHandler.convert(guid, new PdfSaveOptions());
convertedDocumentPath.save("Safal-Niveshak-Stock-Analysis-Excel-Version-3.0." + convertedDocumentPath.getFileType());

Looking forward to your feedback.
