Add jitpack in your root build.gradle at the end of repositories:
allprojects {
repositories {
...
maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
}
}
Step 2. Add PdfKit dependency
dependencies {
implementation 'com.github.mecoFarid:PdfKit:v1.0'
}
PdfKit(this).startConversion(
baseUrl = getAssetDirectoryPath(),
data = PdfConverterDataFactory.htmlData,
javascriptEnabled = true,
outputFile = outputFile,
onPdfPrintListener = object : PdfKit.OnPdfConversionListener {
override fun onError(e: Exception) {
println("PDFPRINT local onError: $e")
}
override fun onSuccess(pdfFileLocation: File) {
println("PDFPRINT local onSuccess: $outputFile")
}
}
)
| Parameter | Explanation | Example |
|---|---|---|
baseUrl |
Base URL where assets referenced in html string can be found by Android System | file:/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.mecofarid.pdfkitdemo/files/images/ |

PdfKit(application.applicationContext).startConversion(
url = "https://www.github.com/",
outputFile = outputFile,
javascriptEnabled = true,
onPdfPrintListener = object : PdfKit.OnPdfConversionListener {
override fun onError(e: Exception) {
println("PDFPRINT remote onError: $e")
}
override fun onSuccess(pdfFileLocation: File) {
println("PDFPRINT remote onSuccess: $outputFile")
}
}
)
}
| Parameter | Explanation | Example |

If you're getting following error when loading http schema URLs
java.lang.Exception: Error loading
http://www.example.com/;Error code: -1; Description: net::ERR_CLEARTEXT_NOT_PERMITTED;
You can resolve this by adding network security configuration. For example usage see
AndroidManifest.xml file of this project with android:networkSecurityConfig="@xml/network_security_config" attribute
When loading http/https schema URLs, sometimes WebView's onPageFinished method won't be called due to Chromium bug 'crbug.com/1244039'.
