convert from html to pdf and to image java

Question

Well, I DID READ ALMOST ALL THE QUESTIONS HERE ABOUT THIS TOPIC!

I need an API - not at tool to convert in a very high quality from PDF to image.

So I didn't find any direct tool, and I used: HTML to PDF and PDF to image.

I tried:

Only the commerical ones (PDFCrown and PDFBox) came out with good results.

I thought that Java is for open source projects!

Am I missing any library that prints out in a high quality images from HTML (could be also from PDF, I can pay for half the way..)

It can also be png. I don't mind about it - It just needs to be in a high quality — Dejell, Nov 13 '11 at 12:16

I used the wonderful tool:

It's very easy - just a command line.

Installation:

Download from here the version. To windows I used: wkhtmltox-0.11.0_rc1-installer.exe file.
Run the installer
Save your HTML to a file on your disk.
In java, Runtime.getRuntime().exec(wkhtmltopdf file.jpg myhomepage.jpg)

That's it! so easy to use:)
