I was trying to convert an HTML to PDF file using iText with Java. However my PDF file has an area with different color cause by tag <body> background property. The PDF file should have all-white background same as the <div class=’container’> class. Is there any way to only convert <div class=’container’> to PDF to achieve it instead of changing <body> background to white?
This is my HTML and CSS
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Document</title>
<style>
@page {
margin-left: 0;
margin-right: 0;
margin-top: 0;
@bottom-left {
margin-left: 10px;
content: "Page " counter(page) " / " counter(pages);
}
}
body {
scroll-behavior: smooth;
color: #000;
font-weight: normal;
background: #f0f0f0;
background-color: rgb(244, 180, 103);
width: 100%;
line-height: 20pt;
text-align: justify;
margin: 0 auto;
height: 100%;
}
.container {
scroll-behavior: smooth;
width: 210mm;
padding: 25mm 25mm 25mm 35mm;
background: #FFF;
margin: 0 auto;
box-sizing: border-box;
position: relative;
font-size: 14pt;
height: 100%;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="container">
<h1>CONTAINER</h1>

private static final String HTML_FILE_PATH = "C:/yourlocation/input.html";

System.out.println("Hello World!");

properties.setCharset("UTF-8");
properties.setFontProvider(fontProvider);
File htmlFile = new File(HTML_FILE_PATH);
File pdfFile = new File(PDF_FILE_PATH);
try (FileInputStream fStream = new FileInputStream(htmlFile)) {
System.out.println("BEGIN to convert HTML to PDF");
HtmlConverter.convertToPdf(fStream, new FileOutputStream(pdfFile), properties);
System.out.println("FINISHED convert HTML to PDF");
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
