Render CGM to MARKDOWN on Android via Java
Convert CGM to MARKDOWN in mobile apps without installing any software
Why to Convert
CGM (Computer Graphics Metafile) is a vector graphics format used for storing and exchanging graphics data. It is widely used in the engineering and technical drawing fields. However, it is not supported by many mobile applications. Therefore, it is necessary to convert CGM to a more compatible format such as MARKDOWN.
How Aspose.Total Helps for CGM to Markdown Conversion
Aspose.Total for Android Java is a comprehensive suite of APIs that enables developers to create, edit, and convert documents in various formats. It includes two APIs that can be used to integrate CGM to MARKDOWN conversion feature in mobile apps.
The first step is to convert CGM file to DOC using Aspose.PDF for Android via Java. This API provides a wide range of features for creating, editing, and manipulating PDF documents. It also supports conversion of various file formats to PDF, including CGM.
The second step is to render DOC to MARKDOWN using Word Processing API Aspose.Words for Android Java. This API enables developers to create, edit, and convert documents in various formats, including MARKDOWN. It also provides features for manipulating documents, such as inserting, deleting, and replacing text, images, and other elements.
By using these two APIs of Aspose.Total for Android Java package, developers can easily integrate CGM to MARKDOWN conversion feature in their mobile apps. This will enable users to view and edit CGM files on their mobile devices.
Convert CGM to MARKDOWN on Android via Java
Get Started with Android via Java APIs
You can easily use Aspose.Total for Android via Java directly from Maven and install Aspose.PDF for Android via Java and Aspose.Words for Android via Java in your applications.
Alternatively, you can get a ZIP file from downloads .
// load CGM file with an instance of Document class
Document document = new Document("template.cgm");
// save CGM as a DOC
document.save("DocOutput.doc", SaveFormat.DOC);
// load DOC with an instance of Document
Document outputDocument = new com.aspose.words.Document("DocOutput.doc");
// call save method while passing SaveFormat.MARKDOWN
outputDocument.save("output.markdown", SaveFormat.MARKDOWN);
Get CGM File Information on Android via Java
Before converting CGM to MARKDOWN, you might need information about the document including author, creation date, keywords, modify date, subject, and title. This information is helpful for the decision making for the conversion process. Using the powerful Aspose.PDF for Android via Java API, you can get all of it. To get file-specific information about a CGM file, first get the DocumentInfo object using getInfo method. Once the DocumentInfo object is retrieved, you can get the values of the individual properties.
// load CGM document
Document doc = new Document("template.cgm");
// get document information
DocumentInfo docInfo = doc.getInfo();
// show document information
System.out.println("Author: " + docInfo.getAuthor());
System.out.println("Creation Date: " + docInfo.getCreationDate());
System.out.println("Keywords: " + docInfo.getKeywords());
System.out.println("Modify Date: " + docInfo.getModDate());
System.out.println("Subject: " + docInfo.getSubject());
System.out.println("Title: " + docInfo.getTitle());
Insert Endnotes in MARKDOWN Document in Android Apps
Apart from document conversion, you can also add a bunch of other features inside your Android Applications using Aspose.Words for Android via Java API. One of that feature is inserting endnotes and numbering in MARKDOWN document. If you want to insert a footnote or an endnote in a MARKDOWN document, please use DocumentBuilder.InsertFootnote method. This method inserts a footnote or endnote into the document. EndnoteOptions and FootnoteOptions classes represent numbering options for footnote and endnote.
// load document
Document doc = new Document("input.DOC");
// initialize document builder
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
// add text in it
builder.write("Some text");
// insert footnote
builder.insertFootnote(FootnoteType.ENDNOTE, "Endnote text.");
// initialize endnote options
EndnoteOptions option = doc.getEndnoteOptions();
// set restart rule
option.setRestartRule(FootnoteNumberingRule.RESTART_PAGE);
// set position
option.setPosition(EndnotePosition.END_OF_SECTION);
// save the document to disk.
doc.save("output.markdown", SaveFormat.MARKDOWN);
