Convert PCL to APNG via Java
Export PCL file to APNG within any within any Java J2SE, J2EE, J2ME applications without using Adobe® Acrobat Reader
Converting a PCL file to an APNG image in Java is a simple two-step process. The first step is to use the Aspose.PDF for Java API to export the PCL file to a JPEG image. Aspose.PDF for Java is a powerful PDF manipulation API that is part of the Aspose.Total for Java package. It allows you to convert PCL files to JPEG images with ease.
The second step is to use the Aspose.Imaging for Java API to render the JPEG image to an APNG image. Aspose.Imaging for Java is an advanced image processing API that is also part of the Aspose.Total for Java package. It provides a wide range of features for manipulating images, including the ability to render JPEG images to APNG images.
By combining the power of Aspose.PDF for Java and Aspose.Imaging for Java, you can easily convert PCL files to APNG images in Java. The process is simple and straightforward, and the results are of high quality. With Aspose.Total for Java, you can quickly and easily convert PCL files to APNG images in Java.
Convert PCL to APNG in a Single File via Java
The API also allows you to export PCL file to APNG to a single file. In order to convert all pages, you can first render your PCL document to one TIFF file and after that, you can export the TIFF file to APNG. 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 APNG format using save method.
Convert PCL to APNG With Watermark via Java
Using the API, you can also export PCL file to APNG with watermark in your APNG document. In order to add a watermark to you can first convert PCL 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 APNG format.
Convert & Rotate PCL to APNG File via Java
Using the API, you can also rotate the output APNG 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 .
