Convert HTML to PDF on Linux server using Java

rhunter · June 12, 2018, 2:36pm

Hello,

I’m using GroupDocs.Conversion Java version 17.7.1 and I’m getting an error jawa.awt.HeadlessException on our headless Linux server. Are there any limitations with running GroupDocs Java API on headless Linux servers?

Here is the code block responsible for the conversion:

new License().setLicense(ConnectionHandler.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(“GroupDocs.Conversion.lic”));
ConversionHandler conversionHandler = new ConversionHandler(new ConversionConfig());
PdfSaveOptions saveOptions = new PdfSaveOptions();
saveOptions.setOutputType(OutputType.Stream);
response.getOutputStream().write(conversionHandler.convert(parts.get(0).getInputStream(), filename, saveOptions).toBytes());

Attached is an HTML file that works on Windows server, but throws this error on a headless Linux server

Thank you,

@rhunter,

Thank you for the inquiry and posting your concerns.
In order to further investigate this issue at our end, we need following details:

Linux server details (e.g. version, flavor)
Which IDE you are using?
A simplified example project to reproduce this issue

Aside this, please integrate latest version of the API, follow this code example in your project and share your experience.
