Google charts and Itext

[Choy]

Hi,

I am using Itext in Java to generate a PDF version of my JSP page that has Google charts. 

http://itextpdf.com/

I am wondering how to create google charts through Itext. Will this work, and could you provide me any samples on how to execute Javascript from Itext.

Thank you!

Does Itext do all of its work server-side?  If so then you are likely out of luck, as the charts are all rendered client-side, so there isn't anything for Itext to convert to PDF when it does its thing.

yes. So does that mean google charts cannot render on a PDF?

If you convert the chart to a PNG image file (using a hack like this one), you can import it into a PDF, but generally speaking, there is no way to directly import a Visualization API chart into a PDF.  It is possible that the Itext software uses some trick that I don't know about to work its magic, so it's worth giving it a shot, but my expectation is that it won't work.
