Aspose.Total for Java is a comprehensive suite of APIs that enables developers to integrate a wide range of features into their Java applications. One of the features it offers is the ability to convert Markdown (MD) files to plain text (TXT) files. This can be achieved in two steps.
The first step is to use Aspose.PDF for Java to render the MD file to an Excel spreadsheet (XLSX). Aspose.PDF for Java is a powerful API that enables developers to create, edit, and convert PDF documents from within their Java applications. It also provides the ability to render MD files to XLSX, allowing developers to easily convert MD files to a format that can be used in the second step.
The second step is to use Aspose.Cells for Java to convert the XLSX file to a TXT file. Aspose.Cells for Java is a Spreadsheet Programming API that enables developers to create, edit, and convert spreadsheets from within their Java applications. It provides a range of features, including the ability to convert XLSX files to TXT files.
By using Aspose.Total for Java, developers can easily integrate MD to TXT conversion into their Java applications. The two-step process of using Aspose.PDF for Java to render MD to XLSX, followed by Aspose.Cells for Java to convert XLSX to TXT, provides a simple and efficient way to convert MD files to TXT files.
Convert MD File to TXT via Java
Conversion Requirements
You can easily use Aspose.Total for Java directly from a Maven based project and include Aspose.PDF for Java and Aspose.Cells for Java in your pom.xml.
Convert Protected MD to TXT via Java
If your MD document is password protected, you cannot convert it to TXT without the password. Using the API, you can first open the protected document using a valid password and convert it after it. In order to open the encrypted file, you can initialize a new instance of the Document class and pass filename and password as arguments.
Convert MD File to TXT with Watermark via Java
While converting MD file to TXT, you can also add watermark to your output TXT file format. In order to add a watermark, create a new Workbook to open the converted XLSX file. Select Worksheet via its index, create a Shape and use its addTextEffect function, set colors, transparency and more. After that you can save your XLSX document as TXT with Watermark.
