Hi,

I am getting the following error when I try to run the Java code:

java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: connect

Regards
Suhaas

PS:
import com.pdfcrowd.*;
import java.io.*;

public class PdfcrowdTest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try
{
FileOutputStream fileStream;

// create an API client instance
Client client = new Client("X", "Y");

// convert a web page and save the PDF to a file
fileStream = new FileOutputStream("google_com.pdf");
client.convertURI("http://www.google.com/", fileStream);
fileStream.close();
}
catch(PdfcrowdError why) {
System.err.println(why.getMessage());
}
catch(IOException exc) {
// handle the exception
}
}
}

The reason is likely one of:

1/ You are behind a firewall that blocks requests to pdfcrowd.com
2/ Your internet access is down.
