C++ API to Export PCL to PS
Render PCL to PS within C++ applications without requiring any third party application
Why to Convert PCL to PS?
The Printer Command Language (PCL) is a page description language used to control the printing of documents on laser printers and other output devices. It is a language developed by Hewlett-Packard (HP) to provide a means of controlling the printing process. PostScript (PS) is a page description language used to describe the appearance of a printed page in a device-independent and resolution-independent format. It is a language developed by Adobe Systems to provide a means of controlling the printing process. Converting PCL to PS is necessary to ensure that the document is printed correctly on any device.
How Aspose.Total helps for PCL to PS Conversion?
Aspose.Total for C++ is a suite of file format automation libraries that allows C++ developers to easily convert PCL to PS in two simple steps. Firstly, you can use Aspose.PDF for C++ API to convert PCL file format to DOC. This API provides a wide range of features to manipulate PDF documents, including the ability to convert PCL to DOC. Secondly, by using the advanced Word Document Processing API Aspose.Words for C++, you can export DOC to PS. This API provides a wide range of features to manipulate Word documents, including the ability to convert DOC to PS. Aspose.Total for C++ makes it easy for C++ developers to convert PCL to PS quickly and easily.
C++ API to Render PCL to PS
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 Ps
wordDoc->Save(u"output.Ps");
Change Password of PCL Document via C++
In the process of rendering PCL to PS, 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 PS File Editing via C++
You can also restrict PS 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.Ps");
