Render PS to MARKDOWN on Android via Java
Convert PS to MARKDOWN 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 used to store documents in a format that is independent of the application software, hardware, and operating system. However, the PDF format is not suitable for editing and sharing documents. This is where the Markdown format comes in. Markdown is a lightweight markup language that is used to format plain text documents. It is easy to read and write, and it is also easy to convert from PDF to Markdown.

It includes APIs for PDF, Word Processing, and other document formats. With Aspose.Total, you can easily convert a Portable Document Format (PS) file to Markdown.
The process of converting a PS file to Markdown involves two steps. First, you need to convert the PS file to a DOC file using Aspose.PDF for Android via Java. This API allows you to convert PDF documents to other formats, including DOC. Secondly, you can use the Word Processing API, Aspose.Words for Android Java, to render the DOC file to Markdown. This API allows you to convert documents to various formats, including Markdown.
By using Aspose.Total for Android Java, you can easily integrate the feature of PS to Markdown conversion into your mobile applications. This will allow you to easily share and edit documents in the Markdown format.
Convert PS to MARKDOWN 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.MARKDOWN
outputDocument.save("output.markdown", SaveFormat.MARKDOWN);
Get PS File Information on Android via Java
Before converting PS to MARKDOWN, 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 MARKDOWN 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 MARKDOWN document. If you want to insert a footnote or an endnote in a MARKDOWN 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.markdown", SaveFormat.MARKDOWN);
