Why to Convert
As a C++ developer, you may need to add email conversion features inside your applications. This could be for a variety of reasons, such as to make the emails easier to read, to make them more accessible, or to make them easier to store and share.
How Aspose.Total Helps for MSG to PS Conversion
Aspose.Total for C++ is a comprehensive suite of APIs that can help you to easily and quickly add email conversion features to your applications. It includes two APIs, Aspose.Email for C++ and Aspose.Words for C++, which can be used to convert MSG file format to HTML and then export HTML to PS.
Using Aspose.Email for C++, you can easily convert MSG files to HTML. This API provides a wide range of features, such as the ability to read and write MSG files, convert MSG to HTML, and more. It also supports a variety of file formats, including EML, MHTML, and Outlook PST.
Once you have converted the MSG file to HTML, you can then use Aspose.Words for C++ to export the HTML to PS. This API provides a wide range of features, such as the ability to read and write HTML files, convert HTML to PS, and more. It also supports a variety of file formats, including DOC, DOCX, and PDF.
By using Aspose.Total for C++, you can easily and quickly add email conversion features to your applications. It is a comprehensive suite of APIs that can help you to quickly and easily convert MSG files to HTML and then export HTML to PS.
C++ API to Convert MSG to PS
- Open MSG file using MailMessage class reference
- Convert MSG to HTML by using Save member function
- Load HTML by using Document class
- Save the document to PS format using Save method and set Ps as SaveFormat
Get Started with C++ File Format 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 the MSG file to be converted
System::SharedPtr<MailMessage> msg = MailMessage::Load(u"sourceFile.msg");
// save MSG as a HTML
msg->Save(u"HtmlOutput.html", SaveOptions::get_DefaultHtml());
// load HTML with an instance of Document
System::SharedPtr<Document> doc = System::MakeObject<Document>(u"HtmlOutput.html");
// call save method while passing Ps as save format
doc->Save(u"convertedFile.Ps");
Parse MSG File via C++
Not only you can convert your MSG to PS, but you can read, manipulate, and parse MSG document. You can get subject, address, body, recipients information of the email by using MapiMessage class of Aspose.Email for C++ API. For example, you can check for a specific sender email for the conversion by using get_SenderEmailAddress() property.
// create an instance of MapiMessage from file
System::SharedPtr<MapiMessage> msg = MapiMessage::FromFile(dataDir + L"message.msg");
// get subject
System::Console::WriteLine(System::String(L"Subject:") + msg->get_Subject());
// get from address
System::Console::WriteLine(System::String(L"From:") + msg->get_SenderEmailAddress());
// get body
System::Console::WriteLine(System::String(L"Body") + msg->get_Body());
// get recipients information
System::Console::WriteLine(System::String(L"Recipient: ") + msg->get_Recipients());
C++ API to Restrict PS File Format Editing
You can also add document protection features in your app while exporting the document from MSG to PS. Adding protection to your document is a simple process, as all you need to do is apply the protection method to your document. You can set protection type to ReadOnly to restrict the user to edit the document.
// create a new document and protect it with a password.
auto doc = System::MakeObject<Document>();
// apply Document Protection.
doc->Protect(ProtectionType::ReadOnly, u"password");
// save the document.
doc->Save(u"DocumentProtection.PasswordProtection.Ps");
