Render XPS to PS on Android via Java
Convert XPS to PS in mobile apps without installing any software
Why to Convert
XPS to PS conversion is an important feature for mobile apps. XPS is a fixed-layout document format that is used to store documents in a way that is independent of the application and hardware used to create it. PostScript (PS) is a page description language used to describe the appearance of a printed page. It is used to create vector graphics and is the standard for printing documents. Therefore, it is necessary to convert XPS to PS in order to make the documents compatible with different applications and hardware.How Aspose.Total helps for XPS to PS Conversion
Aspose.Total for Android Java is a comprehensive package that provides APIs for various file formats. It includes two APIs that can be used to integrate XPS to PS conversion feature in mobile apps. The first API is Aspose.PDF for Android via Java, which can be used to convert XPS file to DOC. The second API is Aspose.Words for Android Java, which can be used to render DOC to PS. Both APIs are easy to use and can be integrated into mobile apps quickly. Furthermore, they provide a high-quality output and are highly reliable.Convert XPS 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 XPS file with an instance of Document class
Document document = new Document("template.xps");
// save XPS 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 XPS File Information on Android via Java
Before converting XPS 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 XPS 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 XPS document
Document doc = new Document("template.xps");
// 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);
