Why to Convert PCL to DOTM?
PCL (Printer Command Language) is a page description language used by HP printers. It is a language that describes the appearance of a printed page and is used to control the printing process. DOTM (Microsoft Office Word Macro-Enabled Template) is a template file format used by Microsoft Word. It is used to store macros, customizations, and other settings. Converting PCL to DOTM allows users to access the content of the PCL file in Microsoft Word.

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