    ClassLoaderTemplateResolver();

Please be aware that you are using FlyingSaucer, not iText. FlyingSaucer is a product that internally uses (a very old version of) iText.

You are immediately cutting yourself off from 10+ years of bugfixes and developments.

If you are comfortable going for just iText, the best way of solving this issue is with pdfHTML.

It's an add-on we wrote to the iText7 core library that is specifically designed to convert HTML into PDF.

Simple example:

    File src = new File("source_html_file.html");
    File dest = new File("target_pdf_file.pdf");

    PdfDocument pdf = new PdfDocument(new PdfWriter(dest));
    Document doc = new Document(pdf, PageSize.A4);
    InputStream stream = new FileInputStream(src);

    ConverterProperties converterProperties = new ConverterProperties();
    FontProvider dfp = new DefaultFontProvider(true, true, true);
    converterProperties.setFontProvider(dfp);

    HtmlConverter.convertToPdf(stream, pdf, converterProperties);
