HTML documents are the backbone of modern web content, designed to display information interactively through browsers. However, there are many scenarios where you might need to preserve the visual layout of a webpage in a fixed and print-ready format. Converting HTML to XPS in Java is a practical solution for archiving, printing, or securely sharing web content without losing formatting or structure. XPS format ensures consistent appearance, accurate layout rendering, and easy integration into document workflows.

The Conholdate.Total for Java SDK provides a seamless and efficient way to perform this conversion programmatically. It allows developers to transform HTML documents or entire web pages into XPS files while preserving embedded styles, images, and fonts. This feature is particularly useful for businesses that require automated document generation, such as converting invoices, reports, or web-based templates into static, printable formats. The SDK handles all rendering internally, eliminating the need for additional tools or browser engines.

Why Convert HTML to XPS in Java?

  • XPS maintains the exact appearance of the original HTML document, ensuring layout consistency across different devices.
  • Converting HTML to XPS makes web pages printable and suitable for digital archiving or record-keeping.
  • The process can be fully automated to convert multiple HTML reports, receipts, or web templates into fixed-layout files.
  • It enhances security by preventing unauthorized editing of web content once converted into XPS.
  • The SDK preserves fonts, colors, and embedded resources during conversion for professional-quality results.
  • The conversion works across various operating systems, making it ideal for cross-platform Java applications.

Convert HTML to XPS in Java

The following code sample demonstrates how to convert HTML to XPS in Java using Conholdate.Total for Java SDK:

// Load the source HTML file by initializing an instance of the HTMLDocument class. 
com.aspose.html.HTMLDocument htmlDocument = new com.aspose.html.HTMLDocument("sample.html");

// Instantiate an object of the XpsSaveOptions class. 
com.aspose.html.saving.XpsSaveOptions options = new com.aspose.html.saving.XpsSaveOptions();

// Output file path
String outputFile = "XPS.xps";

// Convert HTML to XPS by calling the convertHTML method.
com.aspose.html.converters.Converter.convertHTML(htmlDocument, options, outputFile);

This example demonstrates how easily you can transform an HTML document into XPS format using Java. The HTMLDocument class loads the input web file, and the XpsSaveOptions class manages the export settings. By invoking the convertHTML method, the HTML content is rendered into a fixed-layout XPS document that preserves the structure, fonts, and visual fidelity of the original web page. This approach is ideal for developers who need to generate consistent, high-quality documents directly from HTML sources.

Conclusion

Converting HTML to XPS in Java is an efficient way to generate visually consistent, print-ready documents from web content. Using Conholdate.Total for Java SDK, developers can easily integrate this functionality into their Java applications to automate the generation of XPS files from HTML templates, reports, or webpages. This conversion ensures professional document fidelity, eliminates manual formatting, and supports scalable automation workflows. Whether for enterprise reporting or document archiving, this method provides a reliable and streamlined solution for web-to-document transformation.
