Java API to Export CGM to POTM
Export CGM to POTM via on premise Java API without using Microsoft® PowerPoint or Adobe® Acrobat Reader
Aspose.Total for Java is a comprehensive suite of APIs that enables developers to easily convert CGM to POTM within any Java J2SE, J2EE, or J2ME application. This suite of APIs is designed to provide developers with the tools they need to quickly and efficiently convert CGM to POTM.
The process of converting CGM to POTM begins with Aspose.PDF for Java, which is a powerful PDF Processing API. This API allows developers to export CGM to PPTX, which is a PowerPoint presentation format. Once the CGM has been exported to PPTX, developers can then use Aspose.Slides for Java, which is a PowerPoint Processing API, to convert the PPTX to POTM.
Aspose.Total for Java is a comprehensive suite of APIs that makes it easy for developers to convert CGM to POTM. The process begins with Aspose.PDF for Java, which exports CGM to PPTX. Then, Aspose.Slides for Java is used to convert the PPTX to POTM. This suite of APIs is designed to provide developers with the tools they need to quickly and efficiently convert CGM to POTM.
Java API to Convert CGM to POTM
- Open CGM file using Document class
- Convert CGM to PPTX by using save method
- Load PPTX document by using Presentation class
- Save the document to POTM format using
save
method and set
Potmas SaveFormat
Conversion Requirements
You can easily use Aspose.Total for Java directly from a Maven based project and include Aspose.PDF for Java and Aspose.Slides for Java in your pom.xml.
Alternatively, you can get a ZIP file from downloads .
Open Encrypted CGM File via Java
While loading CGM file format, your document might be password protected. Aspose.PDF for Java allows you open encrypted documents as well. In order to open the encrypted file, you can initialize new instance of the Document class and pass filename and password as arguments.
// open CGM document
Document doc = new Document("input.cgm", "Your@Password");
// save CGM as PPTX format
document.save("PptxOutput.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx);
Save POTM File with Predefined View Type via Java
After converting CGM to POTM, you can also add predefined view type for your presentation. Aspose.Slides for Java provides a facility to set the view type for the generated presentation when it is opened in PowerPoint through the ViewProperties class. The setLastView property is used to set the view type by using the ViewType enumerator.
// instantiate a Presentation object that represents a PPTX file
Presentation presentation = new Presentation("PptxOutput.pptx");
// set view type
presentation.getViewProperties().setLastView((byte) ViewType.SlideMasterView);
// save the presentation as Potm format
presentation.save("output.potm", SaveFormat.Potm);
