Java client for Api2Pdf REST API
Api2Pdf.com is a powerful REST API for instantly generating PDF and Office documents from HTML, URLs, Microsoft Office Documents (Word, Excel, PPT), Email files, and images. You can generate image preview or thumbnail of a PDF, office document, or email file. The API also supports merge / concatenation of two or more PDFs, setting passwords on PDFs, and adding bookmarks to PDFs. Api2Pdf is a wrapper for popular libraries such as wkhtmltopdf, Headless Chrome, PdfSharp, and LibreOffice.
The Java client library is available as a Maven Package and can be installed with Maven by including the following dependency in your pom.xml file.
<dependencies>

All usage starts by importing the api2pdf library and creating a new object.
package com.api2pdf.client;
import com.api2pdf.models.Api2PdfResponse;
Api2PdfClient a2pClient = new Api2PdfClient('YOUR-API-KEY');
Once you initialize the client, you can make calls like so:
Api2PdfResponse response = a2pClient.chromeHtmlToPdf("<p>test</p>", true, "test.pdf");
System.out.println(response.getFile());

Convert any office file to PDF, image file to PDF, email file to PDF, HTML to Word, HTML to Excel, and PDF to HTML. Any file that can be reasonably opened by LibreOffice should be convertible. Additionally, we have an endpoint for generating a thumbnail of the first page of your PDF or Office Document. This is great for generating an image preview of your files to users.
You must provide a url to the file. Our engine will consume the file at that URL and convert it to the PDF.

To use the merge endpoint, supply a list of urls to existing PDFs. The engine will consume all of the PDFs and merge them into a single PDF, in the order in which they were provided in the list.
Merge PDFs from array of URLs to existing PDFs (load PDF in browser window (true or false) and specify a file name)**
String[] urls = { "http://www.api2pdf.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/1a082b03-2bd6-4703-989d-0443a88e3b0f-4.pdf", "http://www.api2pdf.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/1a082b03-2bd6-4703-989d-0443a88e3b0f-4.pdf" };
Api2PdfResponse response = a2pClient.pdfsharpMerge(urls, true, "test.pdf");
System.out.println(response.getFile());

import com.api2pdf.models.Api2PdfBookmarkItemModel;
String url = "http://www.api2pdf.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/1a082b03-2bd6-4703-989d-0443a88e3b0f-4.pdf";
Api2PdfBookmarkItemModel[] bookmarks = new Api2PdfBookmarkItemModel[] { new Api2PdfBookmarkItemModel(0, "Title page") };
Api2PdfResponse response = a2pClient.pdfsharpAddBookmarks(url, bookmarks, true, "test.pdf");
System.out.println(response.getFile());
