Render SVG to PS on Android via Java
Convert SVG to PS in mobile apps without installing any software
Why to Convert
The Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) format is a popular choice for creating and displaying vector graphics on the web. It is an XML-based vector image format for two-dimensional graphics with support for interactivity and animation. However, it is not supported by all devices and platforms, and so it is often necessary to convert SVG to other formats such as PostScript (PS).
How Aspose.Total Helps for SVG to PS Conversion
Aspose.Total for Android Java is a comprehensive suite of APIs that provides a wide range of features for developing mobile applications. It includes two APIs that can be used to integrate SVG to PS conversion feature in your mobile apps.
The first step is to convert SVG file to DOC using Aspose.PDF for Android via Java. This API provides a wide range of features for creating, editing, and manipulating PDF documents. It supports a variety of formats, including SVG, and can be used to convert SVG to DOC.
The second step is to render DOC to PS using Aspose.Words for Android Java. This API provides a comprehensive set of features for creating, editing, and manipulating Word documents. It supports a variety of formats, including DOC, and can be used to render DOC to PS.
By using these two APIs, you can easily integrate SVG to PS conversion feature in your mobile apps. This will allow you to display vector graphics on any device or platform, regardless of whether it supports SVG or not.
Convert SVG to PS 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 SVG file with an instance of Document class
Document document = new Document("template.svg");
// save SVG 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.PS
outputDocument.save("output.ps", SaveFormat.PS);
Get SVG File Information on Android via Java
Before converting SVG to PS, 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 SVG 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 SVG document
Document doc = new Document("template.svg");
// 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 PS 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 PS document. If you want to insert a footnote or an endnote in a PS 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.ps", SaveFormat.PS);
