Render PS to GIF on Android via Java
Convert PS to GIF in mobile apps without installing any software
Why to Convert PS to GIF
The Portable Document Format (PDF) is a widely used file format for documents, and the PostScript (PS) format is used for printing documents. However, the GIF format is more suitable for web applications, as it is a compressed image format that supports animation. Converting PS to GIF can be useful for displaying documents on the web, as it can reduce the file size and make the document easier to view.
How Aspose.Total Helps for PS to GIF Conversion
Aspose.Total for Android Java is a comprehensive suite of APIs that can be used to integrate various features into mobile applications. It includes APIs for PDF, Word Processing, and other file formats. Using Aspose.Total, you can easily integrate PS to GIF conversion feature in your mobile apps.
The first step is to convert the PS file to DOC using Aspose.PDF for Android via Java. This API allows you to convert PDF documents to other formats, including DOC. Once the PS file is converted to DOC, you can use the Word Processing API, Aspose.Words for Android Java, to render the DOC to GIF. This API provides a range of features for manipulating and converting Word documents.
By using Aspose.Total for Android Java, you can quickly and easily integrate PS to GIF conversion feature in your mobile apps. This can be useful for displaying documents on the web, as it can reduce the file size and make the document easier to view.
Convert PS to GIF 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.GIF
outputDocument.save("output.gif", SaveFormat.GIF);
Get PS File Information on Android via Java
Before converting PS to GIF, 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 GIF 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 GIF document. If you want to insert a footnote or an endnote in a GIF 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.gif", SaveFormat.GIF);
