Render EPUB to PCL on Android via Java
Convert EPUB to PCL in mobile apps without installing any software
Why to Convert
EPUB is a popular format for e-books, but it is not supported by many applications. PCL, on the other hand, is a widely used format for printing documents. Therefore, it is often necessary to convert EPUB files to PCL in order to make them compatible with different applications.
How Aspose.Total Helps for EPUB to PCL Conversion
Aspose.Total for Android Java is a comprehensive package of APIs that can be used to integrate EPUB to PCL conversion feature in mobile apps. It includes two APIs that can be used to convert EPUB files to PCL. The first API is Aspose.PDF for Android via Java, which can be used to convert EPUB files to DOC. The second API is Aspose.Words for Android Java, which can be used to render DOC to PCL. This makes it easy to convert EPUB files to PCL without any hassle. Moreover, Aspose.Total for Android Java is easy to use and provides a reliable and efficient way to convert EPUB files to PCL.
Convert EPUB to PCL 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 EPUB file with an instance of Document class
Document document = new Document("template.epub");
// save EPUB 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 EPUB File Information on Android via Java
Before converting EPUB 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 EPUB 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 EPUB document
Document doc = new Document("template.epub");
// 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);
