Why to Convert MHTML to PCL?
MHTML (MIME HTML) is a web page archive format that is used to save web pages for offline viewing. It is a combination of HTML code and resources such as images, audio, and video. PCL (Printer Command Language) is a page description language used by printers to describe the text and graphics of a printed page. It is a language that is used to control the printing process. Converting MHTML to PCL allows users to print web pages in a format that is compatible with their printer.
How Aspose.Total Helps for MHTML to PCL Conversion?
Aspose.Total for C++ is a suite of file format automation libraries that enables C++ developers to easily convert MHTML to PCL. It consists of two components: Aspose.PDF for C++ and Aspose.Words for C++. Aspose.PDF for C++ is a powerful PDF manipulation API that can be used to convert MHTML to DOC. Aspose.Words for C++ is an advanced Word document processing API that can be used to export DOC to PCL. With Aspose.Total for C++, developers can easily convert MHTML to PCL in just two simple steps.
C++ API to Render MHTML to PCL
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 MHTML file with an instance of Document class reference
auto doc = MakeObject<Document>(u"sourceFile.mhtml");
// save MHTML 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 Pcl
wordDoc->Save(u"output.Pcl");
Change Password of MHTML Document via C++
In the process of rendering MHTML to PCL, you can open a password protected MHTML and also change its password. In order to change the password of a MHTML 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 MHTML Document
auto doc = MakeObject<Document>(L"input.mhtml", L"owner");
// change password of MHTML Document
doc->ChangePasswords(L"owner", L"newuser", L"newuser");
// save the document
doc->Save(L"output.Doc");
Restrict PCL File Editing via C++
You can also restrict PCL 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.Pcl");
