C++ API to Export PS to RTF
Render PS to RTF within C++ applications without requiring any third party application
Aspose.Total for C++ file format automation libraries allows C++ developer to convert PS to RTF in two simple steps. Firstly, you can use Aspose.PDF for C++ API to convert PS file format to DOC. Secondly, by using advanced Word Document Processing API Aspose.Words for C++ , you can export DOC to RTF.
C++ API to Render PS to RTF
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 Rtf
wordDoc->Save(u"output.Rtf");
Change Password of PS Document via C++
In the process of rendering PS to RTF, 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 RTF File Editing via C++
You can also restrict RTF 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.Rtf");

What is PS File Format?
A PostScript file is a text file that contains a description of a page or document to be printed. It is typically created by a word processor or other application, and then saved in the PS format. The file can be printed by any printer that supports the PostScript language.PS files are usually stored in one of two ways: as a single page, or as a multi-page document. Single page PS files are typically used for printing a single page, such as a letter or an invoice. Multi-page PS files are used for printing documents that span multiple pages, such as a book or a report. When a PS file is printed, the printer reads the file and interprets the instructions contained within it. The printer then produces a printed version of the document.PS files are typically much larger than other types of files, such as PDFs. This is because they contain a lot of detailed information about the document to be printed. For this reason, it is important to make sure that your printer has enough memory to store the entire PS file.PS files can be opened and edited with a text editor, such as Microsoft Word or Adobe Acrobat. However, it is important to be careful when editing a PS file, as even a small change can result in the file being unreadable by the printer. If you need to make changes to a PS file, it is best to save a copy of the file first, so that you can revert back to the original if necessary.

Introduced and documented by Microsoft, the Rich Text Format (RTF) represents a method of encoding formatted text and graphics for use within applications. The format facilitates cross-platform document exchange with other Microsoft Products, thus serving the purpose of interoperability. This capability makes it a standard of data transfer between word processing software and, hence, contents can be transferred from one operating system to another without losing document formatting. The file format specifications are available by Microsoft for public download and can be referred to from developer’s perspective. One of the key advantages of RTF is its ability to preserve formatting across different word processors and text editors. This means that you can create an RTF document in one application and be confident that it will look the same when opened in another application, even if the two applications use different default fonts, font sizes, and other formatting options.
