In AEM 6.5.21 we require to create PDFs from static HTML(with inline CSS) programatically as a DAM asset.
We have an endpoint that gives text/html response HTML(with inline CSS).

Have tried PDFBox but it displays the html content as text in the PDF.

@akashdeepaem I would recommend using the  https://developer.adobe.com/document-services/docs/apis/#tag/Html-to-PDF/operation/pdfoperations.htmltopdf. and then write the asset to the DAM using the Assets API / utilities.

    hi @akashdeepaem, 

    Under the assumption of installing wkhtmltopdf on the machine running AEM, you can also test and evaluate this option:
