Transform MD to PCL via Java
On Premise Java API to Render MD to PCL without using any third party application
Converting a MD file to PCL can be done in two easy steps with the help of Aspose.Total for Java. Aspose.Total for Java is a powerful suite of APIs that can help you with document processing tasks.
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 can help you with PDF document processing tasks. It can help you render MD files to DOC format with ease.
The second step is to convert the DOC file to PCL using Aspose.Words for Java. Aspose.Words for Java is a powerful API that can help you with document processing tasks. It can help you convert DOC files to PCL format with ease.
With the help of Aspose.Total for Java, you can easily convert MD files to PCL in two simple steps. First, you need to render MD file to DOC using Aspose.PDF for Java. Then, you can convert DOC to PCL using Aspose.Words for Java. Both APIs come under Aspose.Total for Java package, making it easy to convert MD files to PCL.
Java API to Convert MD to PCL
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 MD Document via Java
While converting MD to PCL, 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 PCL Document to a Database via Java
While saving your input document to PCL 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 PCL 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.PCL);
// 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);
}
