Transform PCL to OTT via Java
On Premise Java API to Render PCL to OTT without using any third party application
Converting PCL to OTT can be done quickly and easily with the help of Aspose.Total for Java. This package includes two powerful APIs, Aspose.PDF for Java and Aspose.Words for Java, which can be used to render PCL files to DOC and then convert DOC to OTT respectively.
The first step is to render PCL file to DOC using Aspose.PDF for Java. This API provides a wide range of features to manipulate PDF documents, including the ability to render PCL files to DOC. It also supports a variety of other formats, such as HTML, XPS, and SVG.
Once the PCL file is rendered to DOC, the next step is to convert DOC to OTT using Aspose.Words for Java. This API provides a comprehensive set of features to process documents, including the ability to convert DOC to OTT. It also supports a variety of other formats, such as PDF, HTML, and XPS.
Aspose.Total for Java is a comprehensive package that includes both Aspose.PDF for Java and Aspose.Words for Java. This package provides a wide range of features to manipulate documents, including the ability to render PCL files to DOC and convert DOC to OTT. It also supports a variety of other formats, such as HTML, XPS, and SVG.
In summary, Aspose.Total for Java is the perfect solution for quickly and easily converting PCL to OTT. With the help of Aspose.PDF for Java and Aspose.Words for Java, you can render PCL files to DOC and then convert DOC to OTT in just two simple steps.
Java API to Convert PCL to OTT
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.OTT
outputDocument.save("output.ott", SaveFormat.OTT);
Open Password Protected PCL Document via Java
While converting PCL 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 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 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);
}
