Not compatible with the latest version of iText about rendering

[halfbaked]

Also if you choose the following dependency:

org.xhtmlrenderer:core-renderer:R9-github-2011-01-11

rather than the earlier R8

you will get:

NoSuchMethodError: com.lowagie.text.pdf.BaseFont.getCharBBox(I)

Hello halfbaked, did you find a solution for that? I'm working with grails rendering plugin too and i think the provided iText version is too old.

Hi Patrick, it is quite a while since I look at this so I'm not sure what I did in the end. I definitely use both the export and renderer plugins with inline images now. Here are the relevant dependencies in my build config. They might be some help to you.

dependencies {
    runtime ( 'org.xhtmlrenderer:core-renderer:R8', 'com.lowagie:itext:2.1.0')
}
plugins {
  runtime(':rendering:0.4.3') {
    excludes 'itext'
  }
  runtime(':export:1.1') {
    excludes 'itext', 'itext-rtf'
  }
}

If you want to use a newer itext library, you should use this dependency of core-renderer
'org.xhtmlrenderer:core-renderer:R8-final' (http://wo-repository.doit.com.br/content/repositories/thirdparty/org/xhtmlrenderer/core-renderer/R8-final)
