Why to Convert

The CGM (Computer Graphics Metafile) format is a vector graphics format used for storing and exchanging graphics data. It is widely used in the printing industry for its ability to store vector graphics and text. However, the PCL (Printer Command Language) format is more commonly used in the printing industry, as it is a page description language that is used to control the printing of documents. Therefore, it is often necessary to convert CGM files to PCL in order to ensure compatibility with the printing industry.

Aspose.Total for Android Java is a comprehensive suite of APIs that can be used to integrate various features into mobile applications. It includes two APIs that can be used to convert CGM files to PCL. The first API is Aspose.PDF for Android via Java, which can be used to convert CGM files to DOC. The second API is Aspose.Words for Android Java, which can be used to render DOC to PCL. By using these two APIs, developers can easily integrate CGM to PCL conversion feature into their mobile applications.

Convert CGM to PCL on Android via Java

  1. Open CGM file using Document class
  2. Convert CGM to DOC by using save method
  3. Load DOC file by using Document class of Aspose.Words
  4. Save the document to PCL format using save method and set PCL as SaveFormat

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.PCL
outputDocument.save("output.pcl", SaveFormat.PCL);   

Get CGM File Information on Android via Java

Before converting CGM to PCL, 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 PCL 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 PCL document. If you want to insert a footnote or an endnote in a PCL 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.pcl", SaveFormat.PCL);
