Transform PCL to ODT via Java
On Premise Java API to Render PCL to ODT without using any third party application
Converting PCL to ODT can be done in two easy steps using Aspose.Total for Java. Aspose.Total for Java is a comprehensive suite of APIs that provides powerful document processing capabilities.
The first step is to render the PCL file to DOC using Aspose.PDF for Java. Aspose.PDF for Java is a powerful PDF processing API that enables you to convert PCL to DOC with ease. It provides a wide range of features such as PDF to HTML conversion, PDF to image conversion, PDF to PDF/A conversion, and more.
The second step is to convert the DOC file to ODT using Aspose.Words for Java. Aspose.Words for Java is a powerful document processing API that enables you to convert DOC to ODT with ease. It provides a wide range of features such as document conversion, document manipulation, document comparison, and more.
By using Aspose.Total for Java, you can easily convert PCL to ODT in two simple steps. Aspose.PDF for Java is used to render the PCL file to DOC and Aspose.Words for Java is used to convert the DOC file to ODT. Both APIs come under the Aspose.Total for Java package, making it easy to access and use.
Java API to Convert PCL to ODT
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 PCL file with an instance of Document class
Document document = new Document("template.pcl");
// save PCL 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.ODT
outputDocument.save("output.odt", SaveFormat.ODT);
Open Password Protected PCL Document via Java
While converting PCL to ODT, 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 PCL using the owner’s password.
Document document = new Document("input.pcl", "password");
// save PCL as a DOC
document.save("DocOutput.doc", SaveFormat.DOC);
Save ODT Document to a Database via Java
While saving your input document to ODT 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 ODT 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.ODT);
// 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);
}
