C++ API to Export PCL to DOT
Render PCL to DOT within C++ applications without requiring any third party application
Why to Convert PCL to DOT?
PCL (Printer Command Language) is a page description language used by HP printers. It is a language that is used to control the printing process. DOT (Drawing Object Technology) is a vector graphics format used by Microsoft Word. It is used to create and store drawings, diagrams, and other graphical objects. Converting PCL to DOT allows users to view and edit the graphical objects in Word.

Firstly, you can use Aspose.PDF for C++ API to convert PCL file format to DOC. Secondly, by using advanced Word Document Processing API Aspose.Words for C++, you can export DOC to DOT. Aspose.Total for C++ is a comprehensive suite of APIs that provides a wide range of features for manipulating PCL and DOT files. It also offers a wide range of features for creating, editing, and converting documents. Aspose.Total for C++ is a reliable and cost-effective solution for converting PCL to DOT.
C++ API to Render PCL to DOT
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 PCL file with an instance of Document class reference
auto doc = MakeObject<Document>(u"sourceFile.pcl");
// save PCL 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 Dot
wordDoc->Save(u"output.Dot");
Change Password of PCL Document via C++
In the process of rendering PCL to DOT, you can open a password protected PCL and also change its password. In order to change the password of a PCL 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 PCL Document
auto doc = MakeObject<Document>(L"input.pcl", L"owner");
// change password of PCL Document
doc->ChangePasswords(L"owner", L"newuser", L"newuser");
// save the document
doc->Save(L"output.Doc");
Restrict DOT File Editing via C++
You can also restrict DOT 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.Dot");
