As seen in the sample program, we added the System.setProperty(“java.awt.headless”, “true”) at one point, but the same results occurred.

@travis.steinmetz,
You are using an old version 17.4 of Aspose.Pdf for Java API, kindly download try with the latest version 17.8 of Aspose.Pdf for Java API and let us know how that goes into your environment. If this does not help, then please send us your source HTML file. We will investigate and share our findings with you.

The 17.8 version along with the java.awt.headless JVM parameter worked.

@travis.steinmetz,
It is nice to hear from you that the problem has been resolved. Please let us know in case of any further assistance or queries.
