Transform MD to OTT via Java
On Premise Java API to Render MD to OTT without using any third party application
Converting Markdown (MD) to OpenDocument Text (OTT) is a simple two-step process. The first step is to render the MD file to a DOC file using the powerful Aspose.PDF for Java API. Aspose.PDF for Java is part of the Aspose.Total for Java package, which provides a comprehensive set of APIs for document processing.
Once the MD file is converted to a DOC file, the second step is to use the Aspose.Words for Java API to convert the DOC file to an OTT file. Aspose.Words for Java is a powerful document processing API that enables you to easily convert documents from one format to another. It also provides a wide range of features, such as document manipulation, text extraction, and document conversion.
Using the two APIs, Aspose.PDF for Java and Aspose.Words for Java, you can quickly and easily convert MD files to OTT files. Aspose.Total for Java provides a comprehensive set of APIs for document processing, making it the perfect choice for converting MD to OTT. With just two simple steps, you can easily convert MD files to OTT files.
Java API to Convert MD to OTT
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 .
| 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.OTT | |
| outputDocument.save("output.ott", SaveFormat.OTT); |
Open Password Protected MD Document via Java
While converting MD to OTT, 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 OTT Document to a Database via Java
While saving your input document to OTT 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 OTT 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.OTT);
// 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);
}
