Convert HTML to PDF using XMLWorker library doesn't work

Question

I have an HTML document which I need to convert to PDF format. I have added iText XMLWorker library to my project and wrote this snippet:

OutputStream file = new FileOutputStream(new File("testing.pdf"));
Document document = new Document();
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, file);
document.open();
InputStream is = new ByteArrayInputStream(docString.getBytes());
XMLWorkerHelper.getInstance().parseXHtml(writer, document, is);
document.close();
file.close();

But the problem is that I can't include neither Document nor PdfWriter. They are not included in the library and when I tried to add

import com.itextpdf.text.Document;
import com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfWriter;

no .text is found in the library added.

What is the problem? Is there any thing missing? Should I include something else?

XML Worker is an add-on for iText. You have the XML Worker library, but not the iText library. And while we are at it: why are you using the old iText 5 + the old XML Worker, when it has been replaced with iText 7 and pdfHTML? See developers.itextpdf.com/content/… — Bruno Lowagie

I have included iText 7.0 to my app but HtmlConverter can't be imported, although I have added all sub-libraries to the project !! — Amani Elsaed

I'm pretty sure some sublibraries are missing. Show us your POM. — Bruno Lowagie

@BrunoLowagie OP does not use Maven (or Gradle, because Android), because if they were, then adding a dependency on XMLWorker would automatically pull in the required dependency. Therefore I conclude that they can not and will not show you their POM. — Amedee Van Gasse

In 2019 to use in android iText7 and pdfHtml works fine using this in your build.gradle

implementation 'com.itextpdf:itext7-core:7.1.5' implementation 'com.itextpdf:html2pdf:2.1.2'

This the latest release.
