You can use Java Library Flying Saucer for this. In your spring based project add the following dependencies in your pom.xml

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.xhtmlrenderer</groupId>
    <artifactId>flying-saucer-pdf</artifactId>
    <version>9.1.13</version>
</dependency>

Upload the html file through POST and use this library's functions to convert in into pdf

  1. You can use $.ajax to upload

JS: 

var form_data = new FormData();
form_data.append('file', pdfFile);
$.ajax({
  url: path/to/upload
  data: form_data,
  processData: false
})

Java: 

public void uploadPdf(@RequestParam(name = "file") MultipartFile pdfFile)
  1. You can try wkhtmltopdf (https://wkhtmltopdf.org/)
