Why to Convert XPS to DOT?
XPS (XML Paper Specification) is a document format developed by Microsoft for printing and viewing documents. It is a fixed-layout document format that preserves document formatting and enables file sharing. On the other hand, DOT is a file format used by Microsoft Word to store documents. It is a text-based file format that stores documents in plain text format. Converting XPS to DOT is beneficial for users who want to edit their documents in Microsoft Word.
How Aspose.Total Helps for XPS to DOT Conversion?
Aspose.Total for C++ is a comprehensive suite of file format automation libraries that enables C++ developers to convert XPS to DOT in two simple steps. Firstly, you can use Aspose.PDF for C++ API to convert XPS file format to DOC. This API provides a wide range of features to manipulate PDF documents, such as creating, editing, converting, and printing PDF documents. Secondly, by using advanced Word Document Processing API Aspose.Words for C++, you can export DOC to DOT. This API provides a wide range of features to manipulate Word documents, such as creating, editing, converting, and printing Word documents. Aspose.Total for C++ also provides other APIs to manipulate other file formats, such as Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook. With Aspose.Total for C++, you can easily convert XPS to DOT in a few simple steps.
C++ API to Render XPS 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 XPS file with an instance of Document class reference
auto doc = MakeObject<Document>(u"sourceFile.xps");
// save XPS 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 XPS Document via C++
In the process of rendering XPS to DOT, you can open a password protected XPS and also change its password. In order to change the password of a XPS 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 XPS Document
auto doc = MakeObject<Document>(L"input.xps", L"owner");
// change password of XPS 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");
