Aspose.Total for C++ is a comprehensive file format automation library that enables C++ developers to easily convert PostScript (PS) files to Printer Command Language (PCL) in two simple steps.
The first step involves using the Aspose.PDF for C++ API to convert the PS file format to a Microsoft Word Document (DOC). This API provides a wide range of features and functions that allow developers to manipulate PDF documents with ease. It also supports a variety of file formats, including PS, PDF, XPS, and TIFF.
The second step involves using the advanced Word Document Processing API, Aspose.Words for C++. This API provides a comprehensive set of features and functions that allow developers to manipulate Word documents with ease. It also supports a variety of file formats, including DOC, DOCX, RTF, and HTML. With this API, developers can easily export the DOC file to PCL.
Overall, Aspose.Total for C++ makes it easy for C++ developers to convert PS files to PCL with just two simple steps. It provides a comprehensive set of features and functions that allow developers to manipulate a variety of file formats with ease. With this library, developers can quickly and easily convert PS files to PCL with minimal effort.
C++ API to Render PS to PCL
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 PS file with an instance of Document class reference
auto doc = MakeObject<Document>(u"sourceFile.ps");
// save PS 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 Pcl
wordDoc->Save(u"output.Pcl");
Change Password of PS Document via C++
In the process of rendering PS to PCL, you can open a password protected PS and also change its password. In order to change the password of a PS 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 PS Document
auto doc = MakeObject<Document>(L"input.ps", L"owner");
// change password of PS Document
doc->ChangePasswords(L"owner", L"newuser", L"newuser");
// save the document
doc->Save(L"output.Doc");
Restrict PCL File Editing via C++
You can also restrict PCL 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.Pcl");
