Hi,

You can read complete HTML from inputStream and convert into string then create PDF.

Still CSS images are not gonna work with this.

like below:

URL url = new URL("https://www.example.com/");

  URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();

  // open the stream and put it into BufferedReader

  BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream()));

          StringBuilder out = new StringBuilder();

          String line;

          while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {

              out.append(line);

          }

          reader.close();

  boolean success = HtmlToPdf.create()

      .object(HtmlToPdfObject.forHtml(out.toString()))

      .convert(pdfFilePath);
