Why to Convert CGM to PS
Converting CGM (Computer Graphics Metafile) to PS (PostScript) is a common requirement for many C++ developers. CGM is a vector graphics format that is used to store and exchange graphics data. It is widely used in the printing industry, and is supported by many applications. PS is a page description language used to describe the appearance of a printed page. It is used to create documents that can be printed on a variety of devices, including laser printers, inkjet printers, and plotters.

C++ API to Render CGM to PS
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 Ps
wordDoc->Save(u"output.Ps");
Change Password of CGM Document via C++
In the process of rendering CGM to PS, 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 PS File Editing via C++
You can also restrict PS 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.Ps");
