Render PS to DOT on Android via Java
Convert PS to DOT in mobile apps without installing any software
Why to Convert
The conversion of PostScript (PS) to Drawing Object Tree (DOT) format is necessary for mobile applications that require the ability to render documents in a variety of formats. By converting PS to DOT, mobile applications can provide users with a more comprehensive document viewing experience.
How Aspose.Total Helps for PS to DOT Conversion
Aspose.Total for Android Java is a comprehensive package of APIs that enables developers to integrate powerful document processing features into their mobile applications. It includes two APIs that can be used to convert PS to DOT: Aspose.PDF for Android via Java and Aspose.Words for Android Java.
The first step in the conversion process is to convert the PS file to DOC using Aspose.PDF for Android via Java. This API provides a range of features for manipulating PDF documents, including the ability to convert PDF files to other formats. Once the PS file has been converted to DOC, the Word Processing API, Aspose.Words for Android Java, can be used to render the DOC to DOT. This API provides a range of features for manipulating Word documents, including the ability to convert Word documents to other formats.
By using the two APIs of Aspose.Total for Android Java, developers can easily integrate PS to DOT conversion into their mobile applications. This will enable users to view documents in a variety of formats, providing them with a more comprehensive document viewing experience.
Convert PS to DOT 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 PS file with an instance of Document class
Document document = new Document("template.ps");
// save PS 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.DOT
outputDocument.save("output.dot", SaveFormat.DOT);
Get PS File Information on Android via Java
Before converting PS to DOT, 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 PS 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 PS document
Document doc = new Document("template.ps");
// 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 DOT 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 DOT document. If you want to insert a footnote or an endnote in a DOT 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.dot", SaveFormat.DOT);
