Render PCL to DOTM on Android via Java
Convert PCL to DOTM in mobile apps without installing any software
Why to Convert
The Portable Document Format (PDF) is a widely used file format for documents. It is a popular choice for sharing documents due to its ability to maintain the original formatting of the document. However, some applications require documents to be in a different format, such as the Microsoft Office Open XML Macro-Enabled Template (DOTM) format. In such cases, it is necessary to convert PDF files to DOTM.
How Aspose.Total helps for PCL to DOTM Conversion
Aspose.Total for Android Java is a comprehensive suite of APIs that enables developers to easily integrate document conversion features into their mobile applications. It includes two APIs that can be used to convert PCL files to DOTM. The first API is Aspose.PDF for Android via Java, which can be used to convert PCL files to DOC. The second API is Aspose.Words for Android Java, which can be used to render DOC to DOTM. By using these two APIs, developers can easily integrate PCL to DOTM conversion feature into their mobile apps.
Convert PCL to DOTM 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 PCL file with an instance of Document class
Document document = new Document("template.pcl");
// save PCL 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.DOTM
outputDocument.save("output.dotm", SaveFormat.DOTM);
Get PCL File Information on Android via Java
Before converting PCL to DOTM, 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 PCL 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 PCL document
Document doc = new Document("template.pcl");
// 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 DOTM 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 DOTM document. If you want to insert a footnote or an endnote in a DOTM 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.dotm", SaveFormat.DOTM);
