Question

I tried to convert a text to PDF in Android, using iText (here ), but it gives the “File not found” exception.
Here is the code:

try
        {

            PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new FileOutputStream("hello.pdf"));
            document.open();
            document.add(new Paragraph("Hello World"));
            document.close();
            Log.d("OK", "done");
        }
        catch (FileNotFoundException e)
        {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        catch (DocumentException e)
        {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

Would you please help me? Thanks

This works perfect in my case,

try
    {
        Document document = new Document();
        PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new FileOutputStream(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/hello.pdf"));
        document.open();
        document.add(new Paragraph("Hello World"));
        document.close();
        Log.d("OK", "done");
    }
    catch (FileNotFoundException e)
    {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    catch (DocumentException e)
    {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

And in manifest file,

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
