Transform MD to GIF via Java
On Premise Java API to Render MD to GIF without using any third party application
Converting MD to GIF can be done in two easy steps using Aspose.Total for Java. Aspose.Total for Java is a powerful suite of APIs that provide a comprehensive set of features for document processing.
The first step is to render the MD file to DOC using Aspose.PDF for Java. Aspose.PDF for Java is a powerful API that enables developers to create, edit, and convert PDF documents. It provides a wide range of features for manipulating PDF documents, including the ability to render MD files to DOC.
The second step is to convert the DOC file to GIF using Aspose.Words for Java. Aspose.Words for Java is a powerful API that enables developers to create, edit, and convert Word documents. It provides a wide range of features for manipulating Word documents, including the ability to convert DOC files to GIF.
By using Aspose.Total for Java, developers can easily convert MD to GIF in two simple steps. Aspose.PDF for Java can be used to render MD files to DOC, and Aspose.Words for Java can be used to convert DOC files to GIF. This makes it easy for developers to quickly and easily convert MD to GIF.
Java API to Convert MD to GIF
Get Started with Java File Manipulation APIs
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 .
// load MD file with an instance of Document class
Document document = new Document("template.md");
// save MD as a DOC
document.save("DocOutput.doc", SaveFormat.DOC);
// load DOC with an instance of Document
Document outputDocument = new com.aspose.words.Document("DocOutput.doc");
// call save method while passing SaveFormat.GIF
outputDocument.save("output.gif", SaveFormat.GIF);
Open Password Protected MD Document via Java
While converting MD to GIF, 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 MD using the owner’s password.
Document document = new Document("input.md", "password");
// save MD as a DOC
document.save("DocOutput.doc", SaveFormat.DOC);
Save GIF Document to a Database via Java
While saving your input document to GIF 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 GIF 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.
public static void StoreToDatabase(Document doc, Connection mConnection) throws Exception {
// create an output stream which uses byte array to save data
ByteArrayOutputStream aout = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
// save the document to byte array
doc.save(aout, SaveFormat.GIF);
// get the byte array from output steam
// the byte array now contains the document
byte[] buffer = aout.toByteArray();
// get the filename from the document.
String fileName = doc.getOriginalFileName();
String filePath = fileName.replace("\\", "\\\\");
// create the SQL command.
String commandString = "INSERT INTO Documents (FileName, FileContent) VALUES('" + filePath + "', '" + buffer + "')";
Statement statement = mConnection.createStatement();
statement.executeUpdate(commandString);
}
