Converting an HTML file to a DXF image in Java can be done in two easy steps. The first step is to use the Aspose.PDF for Java API, which is part of the Aspose.Total for Java package. This API allows you to export HTML to JPEG. The second step is to use the Aspose.Imaging for Java Image Processing API to render the JPEG to DXF.
Aspose.PDF for Java is a powerful PDF manipulation API that enables developers to create, edit, convert, and print PDF documents from within their Java applications. It also allows developers to export HTML to JPEG, which is the first step in converting an HTML file to a DXF image.
Aspose.Imaging for Java is an advanced image processing API that enables developers to create, edit, and convert images from within their Java applications. It also allows developers to render JPEG to DXF, which is the second step in converting an HTML file to a DXF image.
Both Aspose.PDF for Java and Aspose.Imaging for Java are part of the Aspose.Total for Java package, which provides developers with a comprehensive set of APIs for manipulating documents, images, and other file formats. With Aspose.Total for Java, developers can easily convert HTML files to DXF images in Java.
Convert HTML to DXF in a Single File via Java
The API also allows you to export HTML file to DXF to a single file. In order to convert all pages, you can first render your HTML document to one TIFF file and after that, you can export the TIFF file to DXF. You can open the input file using Document class and create Resolution, TiffSettings, & TIFF device objects. You can get a single TIFF image using process method of TiffDevice class. Finally, you can load TIFF file using Image class and save it to DXF format using save method.
Convert HTML to DXF With Watermark via Java
Using the API, you can also export HTML file to DXF with watermark in your DXF document. In order to add a watermark to you can first convert HTML to JPEG and add a watermark in it. In order to add watermark, load an image file using the Image class, create an object of the Graphics class and initialize it with Image object, create a new Matrix object and set translation and transformation to the desired angle and add watermark using Graphics.drawString method. After adding the watermark in your image, you can save the JPEG as DXF format.
Convert & Rotate HTML to DXF File via Java
Using the API, you can also rotate the output DXF image as per your needs. The Image.rotateFlip method can be used to rotate the image by 90/180/270-degrees and flip the image horizontally or vertically. The library provides simple methods to perform complex operations while encapsulating all ugly details. You can specify the type of rotation and flip to apply to the image. In order to rotate and flip the image, you can load the converted JPEG image using the Image class and call the Image.rotateFlip method while specifying the appropriate RotateFlipType .
