Render CGM to PS on Android via Java
Convert CGM to PS 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 applications and devices. Therefore, it is necessary to convert CGM to other formats such as PS (PostScript) for better compatibility.
How Aspose.Total Helps for CGM to PS Conversion
Aspose.Total for Android Java is a comprehensive suite of APIs that enables developers to easily integrate CGM to PS conversion feature in their mobile apps. It consists of two APIs, Aspose.PDF for Android via Java and Aspose.Words for Android Java.
The Aspose.PDF for Android via Java API allows developers to convert CGM files to DOC format. It supports a wide range of features such as text extraction, image extraction, document manipulation, and much more.
The Aspose.Words for Android Java API enables developers to render DOC to PS. It provides a wide range of features such as document manipulation, text manipulation, document conversion, and much more. It also supports a variety of formats such as DOC, DOCX, RTF, HTML, and more.
By using these two APIs, developers can easily integrate CGM to PS conversion feature in their mobile apps. It is a simple and efficient way to convert CGM files to PS format for better compatibility.
Convert CGM to PS 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.PS
outputDocument.save("output.ps", SaveFormat.PS);
Get CGM File Information on Android via Java
Before converting CGM to PS, 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 PS 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 PS document. If you want to insert a footnote or an endnote in a PS 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.ps", SaveFormat.PS);
