Render PS to ODT on Android via Java
Convert PS to ODT 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 used to create it. However, the OpenDocument Text (ODT) format is a more versatile format that is used to create documents that can be edited and shared easily. Therefore, it is often necessary to convert PDF files to ODT format.
How Aspose.Total helps for PS to ODT Conversion
Aspose.Total for Android Java is a comprehensive package of APIs that can be used to integrate powerful document processing features into mobile applications. It includes two APIs that can be used to convert a PostScript (PS) file to an OpenDocument Text (ODT) file.
The first API is Aspose.PDF for Android via Java, which can be used to convert a PS file to a DOC file. This API provides a wide range of features for manipulating PDF documents, including the ability to convert PDF files to other formats.
The second API is Aspose.Words for Android Java, which can be used to render a DOC file to an ODT file. This API provides a comprehensive set of features for creating, editing, and manipulating documents in various formats, including ODT.
By using these two APIs, developers can easily integrate a PS to ODT conversion feature into their mobile applications. This feature can be used to convert PDF files to ODT format, allowing users to easily edit and share documents.
Convert PS to ODT 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.ODT
outputDocument.save("output.odt", SaveFormat.ODT);
Get PS File Information on Android via Java
Before converting PS to ODT, 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 ODT 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 ODT document. If you want to insert a footnote or an endnote in a ODT 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.odt", SaveFormat.ODT);
