Generate a document with full height in Java with HttpClient
In this guide, we'll show you how to generate a document with full height using Java and the HttpClient library.
When converting documents to PDF, you might want to ensure the entire document height is preserved.
import java.net.http.*;
import java.net.URI;
import java.net.http.HttpRequest.BodyPublishers;
import java.net.http.HttpResponse.BodyHandlers;
import java.time.Duration;
// You can get an API key at https://pdfshift.io
String apiKey = "sk_xxxxxxxxxxxx";
HttpClient client = HttpClient.newBuilder()
.connectTimeout(Duration.ofSeconds(10))
.build();
HttpRequest request = HttpRequest.newBuilder()
.uri(URI.create("https://api.pdfshift.io/v3/convert/pdf"))
.header("X-API-Key", apiKey)
.header("Content-Type", "application/json")
.POST(BodyPublishers.ofString("{\n" +
" \"source\": \"https://www.example.com\",\n" +
" \"full_height\": true\n" +
"}"))
.build();
HttpResponse<byte[]> response = client.send(request, BodyHandlers.ofByteArray());
// Handle errors:
if (response.statusCode() >= 400) {
throw new RuntimeException("Request failed with status code " + response.statusCode());
}
java.nio.file.Files.write(java.nio.file.Paths.get("result.pdf"), response.body());
System.out.println("The PDF document was generated and saved to result.pdf");
This ensures the entire document content is included in the PDF.
For further details on the full_height property and its usage, please refer to our dedicated documentation.
