Convert PCL to PSD via Java
Export PCL file to PSD within any within any Java J2SE, J2EE, J2ME applications without using Adobe® Acrobat Reader
Converting a PCL file to a PSD 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. This API is part of the Aspose.Total for Java package, which is a comprehensive suite of APIs for manipulating various file formats. Once the JPEG image is created, the second step is to use the Aspose.Imaging for Java Image Processing API to render the JPEG image to a PSD file. This API also comes under the Aspose.Total for Java package.
The Aspose.PDF for Java API provides a wide range of features for manipulating PDF documents, such as creating, editing, converting, and printing. It also supports a variety of image formats, including JPEG, PNG, TIFF, and BMP. The Aspose.Imaging for Java API is a powerful image processing library that provides a range of features for manipulating images, such as resizing, cropping, rotating, and flipping. It also supports a variety of image formats, including JPEG, PNG, TIFF, and BMP.
Using the Aspose.PDF for Java and Aspose.Imaging for Java APIs, you can easily convert a PCL file to a PSD image in Java. The APIs are easy to use and provide a wide range of features for manipulating various file formats. With the Aspose.Total for Java package, you can access both APIs and take advantage of their powerful features.

Conversion Requirements
You can easily use Aspose.Total for Java directly from a Maven based project and include libraries in your pom.xml.
Alternatively, you can get a ZIP file from downloads .

Convert PCL to PSD in a Single File via Java
The API also allows you to export PCL file to PSD 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 PSD. 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 PSD format using save method.
| // supports PDF, CGM, EPUB, TeX, PCL, PS, XPS, MD, MHTML, XSLFO, HTML file formats | |
| // load PDF with an instance of Document | |
| Document pdfDocument = new Document("input.pdf"); | |
| // Create Resolution object | |
| Resolution resolution = new Resolution(300); | |
| // Create TiffSettings object | |
| TiffSettings tiffSettings = new TiffSettings(); | |
| tiffSettings.setCompression(CompressionType.None); | |
| tiffSettings.setDepth(ColorDepth.Default); | |
| tiffSettings.setShape(ShapeType.Landscape); | |
| // Create TIFF device | |
| TiffDevice tiffDevice = new TiffDevice(resolution, tiffSettings); | |
| // Convert a particular page and save the image to stream | |
| tiffDevice.process(pdfDocument, 1, 1, "output.tif"); | |
| // load TIFF file | |
| Image image = Image.Load("output.tif"); | |
| // supports Dicom, Jpeg2000, Apng, Psd, Dxf, Wmf, Emz, Wmz, Tga, Svgz file formats | |
| // save TIFF to PSD file format | |
| image.save("output.psd", new PsdOptions()); |
Convert PCL to PSD With Watermark via Java
Using the API, you can also export PCL file to PSD with watermark in your PSD 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 PSD format.
| // supports PDF, CGM, EPUB, TeX, PCL, PS, XPS, MD, MHTML, XSLFO, HTML file formats | |
| // load PDF with an instance of Document | |
| Document document = new Document("input.pdf"); | |
| // create an object of JpegDevice | |
| JpegDevice renderer = new JpegDevice(); | |
| // convert first of a particular PDF page to JPEG format | |
| renderer.process(document.getPages().get_Item(1), "output.jpeg"); | |
| // load JPEG | |
| Image image = Image.load("output.jpeg"); | |
| // create and initialize an instance of Graphics class | |
| Graphics graphics= new Graphics(image); | |
| // create an instance of Font | |
| Font font = new Font("Times New Roman", 16, FontStyle.Bold); | |
| // create an instance of SolidBrush and set its properties | |
| SolidBrush brush = new SolidBrush(); | |
| brush.setColor(Color.getBlack()); | |
| brush.setOpacity(100); | |
| Size sz = graphics.getImage().getSize(); | |
| // create an object of Matrix class for transformation | |
| Matrix matrix = new Matrix(); | |
| // first a translation then a rotation | |
| matrix.translate(sz.getWidth() / 2, sz.getHeight() / 2); | |
| matrix.rotate(-45.0f); | |
| // set the Transformation through Matrix | |
| graphics.setTransform(matrix); | |
| // draw a string using the SolidBrush and Font objects at specific point | |
| graphics.drawString("Watermark by Aspose.Imaging for Java", font, brush, 0, 0); | |
| // supports Dicom, Jpeg2000, Apng, Psd, Dxf, Wmf, Emz, Wmz, Tga, Svgz file formats | |
| // save JPEG to PSD file format | |
| image.save("output.psd", new PsdOptions()); |
Convert & Rotate PCL to PSD File via Java
Using the API, you can also rotate the output PSD 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 .
| // supports PDF, CGM, EPUB, TeX, PCL, PS, XPS, MD, MHTML, XSLFO, HTML file formats | |
| // load PDF with an instance of Document | |
| Document document = new Document("input.pdf"); | |
| // create an object of JpegDevice | |
| JpegDevice renderer = new JpegDevice(); | |
| // convert first of a particular PDF page to JPEG format | |
| renderer.process(document.getPages().get_Item(1), "output.jpeg"); | |
| // load JPEG file | |
| Image image = Image.Load("output.jpeg"); | |
| // roate image | |
| image.RotateFlip(RotateFlipType.Rotate270FlipNone); | |
| // supports Dicom, Jpeg2000, Apng, Psd, Dxf, Wmf, Emz, Wmz, Tga, Svgz file formats | |
| // save JPEG to PSD file format | |
| image.save("output.psd", new PsdOptions()); |
