Render PS to MHTML on Android via Java
Convert PS to MHTML 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 compatibility across different platforms and devices. However, there are certain limitations when it comes to editing PDF files. For example, it is not possible to edit the content of a PDF file without specialized software. This is where PostScript (PS) and MHTML come in. PS is a page description language used to describe the appearance of a printed page, while MHTML is a web page format that allows for the inclusion of images, audio, and video. By converting PS to MHTML, you can make your documents more accessible and easier to edit.
How Aspose.Total Helps for PS to MHTML Conversion
Aspose.Total for Android Java is a comprehensive package of APIs that can be used to integrate PS to MHTML conversion feature in your mobile apps. It includes two APIs: Aspose.PDF for Android via Java and Aspose.Words for Android Java. The Aspose.PDF API can be used to convert PS files to DOC, while the Aspose.Words API can be used to render DOC to MHTML. This makes it easy to convert PS files to MHTML, allowing you to make your documents more accessible and easier to edit.
Convert PS to MHTML 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.MHTML
outputDocument.save("output.mhtml", SaveFormat.MHTML);
Get PS File Information on Android via Java
Before converting PS to MHTML, 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 MHTML 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 MHTML document. If you want to insert a footnote or an endnote in a MHTML 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.mhtml", SaveFormat.MHTML);
