C++ API to Export OFT to IMAGE
Transform OFT to IMAGE within C++ application without requiring Microsoft Word or Outlook
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 more compatible with other applications.
How Aspose.Total Helps for OFT to Image Conversion
Aspose.Total for C++ is a comprehensive suite of APIs that can help you to easily convert OFT file format to HTML. This is done using the Aspose.Email for C++ API. Once the file is converted to HTML, you can then use the Aspose.Words for C++ API to export the HTML to an image. Both of these APIs are included in the Aspose.Total for C++ package, making it easy to access the features you need.
C++ API to Convert OFT to IMAGE
- Open OFT file using MailMessage class reference
- Convert OFT to HTML by using Save member function
- Load HTML by using Document class
- Save the document to PNG format using Save method and set Png 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 OFT file to be converted
System::SharedPtr<MailMessage> msg = MailMessage::Load(u"sourceFile.oft");
// save OFT 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 Png as save format
doc->Save(u"convertedFile.Png");
Parse OFT File via C++
Not only you can convert your OFT to IMAGE, but you can read, manipulate, and parse OFT 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.oft");
// 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 IMAGE File Format Editing
You can also add document protection features in your app while exporting the document from OFT to IMAGE. 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.Png");
