It is not possible. HTML / Javascript needs GUI to be processed. So cannot be run in background.

Can you explain your requirement? What is the need to run HTML in background?

So that means you will save the PDF to somewhere? or Mail it to someone? Why do you need HTML for that?

i will take the PDF content and forward to respective person , i will design my layout in web using elements like fusion charts input fields . at the time of converting this layout into PDF , my first step is generating HTML page for that one and then i will use JS PDF to convert this HTML content into PDF.

That means you may not need to display the HTML file the way you have put this query.

Anyway. Have you written the program already and is it working in Foreground?

Then we can think about running that in background.

Hi thanks.

But where is the PDF in it? You can save the PDF in background in a table or in your content server or in application server/ GOS.

As I have already said, HTML output cannot be displayed in background/Spool, I would say you create separate utility program to display it when user runs the utility program in foreground. Get the PDF from your storage.

Sorry may not not be able to give a solution to what you want , as it is not possible as per me.
