Transform CGM to RTF via Java

On Premise Java API to Render CGM to RTF without using any third party application

Converting CGM to RTF is a simple two-step process that can be accomplished using the powerful Aspose.Total for Java package. Aspose.Total for Java is a suite of APIs that provide developers with the tools they need to create, edit, and manipulate documents in a variety of formats.

The first step in the conversion process is to render the CGM file to DOC using Aspose.PDF for Java. Aspose.PDF for Java is a powerful PDF manipulation API that enables developers to create, edit, and convert PDF documents. It also provides the ability to render CGM files to DOC, making it the perfect choice for this conversion.

Once the CGM file has been rendered to DOC, the second step is to use Aspose.Words for Java to convert the DOC to RTF. Aspose.Words for Java is a powerful document processing API that enables developers to create, edit, and manipulate documents in a variety of formats. It provides the ability to convert DOC to RTF, making it the perfect choice for this conversion.

By using Aspose.Total for Java, developers can easily convert CGM to RTF in just two simple steps. First, they can render the CGM file to DOC using Aspose.PDF for Java. Then, they can use Aspose.Words for Java to convert the DOC to RTF. This process is quick and easy, and provides developers with the tools they need to create, edit, and manipulate documents in a variety of formats.

Java API to Convert CGM to RTF

Open CGM file using Document class
Convert CGM to DOC by using save method
Load DOC file by using Document class of Aspose.Words
Save the document to RTF format using save method and set RTF as 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.Words for Java in your pom.xml.

Alternatively, you can get a ZIP file from downloads .

Open Password Protected CGM Document via Java

While converting CGM to RTF, even if your document is password protected, you can still open it using PDF Manipulation API Aspose.PDF for Java . In order to open the encrypted file, you need to create a Document object and open the CGM using the owner’s password.

Save RTF Document to a Database via Java

While saving your input document to RTF file format, you can also save your document to database instead of a file system. You may need to implement storing and retrieving Document objects to and from a database. This would be necessary if you were implementing any type of content management system. In order to save your RTF to database it is often necessary to serialize the document to obtain a byte array. This can be done using Aspose.Words for Java API. After getting your byte array, you can store it in the database using SQL statement.

Converting **Computer Graphics Metafile (CGM)** files to **RTF (Rich Text Format)** is valuable for organizations that need to integrate detailed graphics into platform-independent, editable documents. In **Java-based text processing systems**, this conversion allows CGM engineering diagrams, schematics, and technical visuals to be preserved alongside formatted text, enabling better readability and data portability. RTF’s cross-platform compatibility makes it an ideal choice for archiving structured documents, sharing engineering specifications, and ensuring accessibility without requiring specialized software.

Key Use Cases

Embedding Graphics into Rich Text Formats
Integrate CGM visuals directly into RTF documents for combined text-and-image technical documentation.
Archival of Structured Documents
Store CGM-enhanced RTF files for long-term access in formats supported by a wide range of editors.
Engineering Specs Sharing
Distribute detailed specifications with embedded CGM diagrams to stakeholders using universally supported RTF files.

Automation Scenarios

Java RTF-Compatible Libraries
Automate CGM-to-RTF conversion using Apache POI-HWPF, or dedicated RTF-generating Java APIs.
Document Pipeline Integration
Embed RTF generation within Java-based content workflows to produce richly formatted technical reports.
Batch Processing of Technical Files
Convert multiple CGM diagrams into RTF archives for mass distribution or storage.
Cross-Platform Document Delivery
Use Java automation to ensure CGM-based RTF files are generated in formats accessible across different operating systems and applications.
