C++ API to Export CGM to DOTX
Render CGM to DOTX within C++ applications without requiring any third party application
Why to Convert CGM to DOTX?
CGM (Computer Graphics Metafile) is a vector graphics file format which is used to store 2D and 3D vector graphics. It is widely used in engineering and technical applications. DOTX is a Microsoft Word template file format which is used to store document templates. It is used to create documents with a consistent look and feel. Converting CGM to DOTX allows users to create documents with a consistent look and feel.
How Aspose.Total Helps for CGM to DOTX Conversion?
Aspose.Total for C++ is a suite of file format automation libraries which allows C++ developers to convert CGM to DOTX in two simple steps. Firstly, you can use Aspose.PDF for C++ API to convert CGM file format to DOC. This API provides a wide range of features to manipulate PDF documents. It allows you to convert PDF documents to other file formats such as DOC, HTML, XPS, etc. Secondly, by using advanced Word Document Processing API Aspose.Words for C++, you can export DOC to DOTX. This API provides a wide range of features to manipulate Word documents. It allows you to convert Word documents to other file formats such as PDF, HTML, XPS, etc. Aspose.Total for C++ also provides other file format automation libraries such as Aspose.Cells for C++, Aspose.Slides for C++, Aspose.Email for C++, etc. which can be used to automate various file format conversions.
C++ API to Render CGM to DOTX
Get Started with C++ File Automation APIs
Install from command line as nuget install Aspose.Total.Cpp or via Package Manager Console of Visual Studio with Install-Package Aspose.Total.Cpp.
Alternatively, get the offline MSI installer or DLLs in a ZIP file from downloads .
// load CGM file with an instance of Document class reference
auto doc = MakeObject<Document>(u"sourceFile.cgm");
// save CGM as a DOC
doc->Save(u"DocOutput.doc", SaveFormat::Doc);
// load DOC with an instance of Document
System::SharedPtr<Document> wordDoc = System::MakeObject<Document>(u"DocOutput.doc");
// save document as Dotx
wordDoc->Save(u"output.Dotx");
Change Password of CGM Document via C++
In the process of rendering CGM to DOTX, you can open a password protected CGM and also change its password. In order to change the password of a CGM file, you must know the owner password of that document. You can load password protected PDF document with Aspose.PDF for C++ by specifying its owner password and use ChangePasswords method to change the password.
// load an existing CGM Document
auto doc = MakeObject<Document>(L"input.cgm", L"owner");
// change password of CGM Document
doc->ChangePasswords(L"owner", L"newuser", L"newuser");
// save the document
doc->Save(L"output.Doc");
Restrict DOTX File Editing via C++
You can also restrict DOTX file editing using using Aspose.Words for C++ API. Sometimes you may need to limit the ability to edit a document and only allow certain actions with it. API enables you to control the way you restrict the content using the ProtectionType enumeration parameter. The following code example demonstrates how to restrict editing in a document so only editing in form fields is possible.
// load Doc with an instance of Document
auto doc = System::MakeObject<Document>("input.doc");
// document protection only works when document protection is turned and only editing in form fields is allowed.
doc->Protect(ProtectionType::AllowOnlyFormFields, u"password");
// save the protected document.
doc->Save(u"Protected.Dotx");
