public class RenderHTMLtoPDF {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            // Step 1: Set up API credentials and initialize configuration
            String MyAppKey = "your-app-key";
            String MyAppSecret = "your-app-secret";
            Configuration configuration = new Configuration(MyAppKey, MyAppSecret);

            // Step 2: Initialize View API for rendering
            ViewApi viewApi = new ViewApi(configuration);

            // Step 3: Define file info for rendering
            FileInfo fileInfo = new FileInfo();
            // Path to the source file in cloud storage
            fileInfo.setFilePath("SampleFiles\\source.html");

            // Step 4: Set up viewing options
            ViewOptions viewOptions = new ViewOptions();
            viewOptions.setFileInfo(fileInfo);
            viewOptions.setViewFormat(ViewOptions.ViewFormatEnum.PDF);

            // Step 5: Set the output PDF options 
            PdfOptions pdfOptions = new PdfOptions();
            pdfOptions.setRenderComments(false);

            // Step 6: Create and execute the rendering request
            CreateViewRequest viewRequest = new CreateViewRequest(viewOptions);
            ViewResult viewResponse = viewApi.createView(viewRequest);

        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println("Exception encountered: " + e.getMessage());
        }
    }
