Transform PCL to RTF via Java
On Premise Java API to Render PCL to RTF without using any third party application
Converting PCL to RTF is a simple two-step process that can be done using the powerful Document Processing API Aspose.Words for Java. Aspose.Words for Java is part of the Aspose.Total for Java package, which includes a range of APIs for working with documents.
The first step is to render the PCL file to DOC using Aspose.PDF for Java. Aspose.PDF for Java is a powerful PDF manipulation API that can be used to convert PCL to DOC. It is easy to use and provides a range of features for working with PDF documents.
Once the PCL file has been converted to DOC, the second step is to use Aspose.Words for Java to convert the DOC to RTF. Aspose.Words for Java is a powerful document processing API that can be used to convert documents from one format to another. It is easy to use and provides a range of features for working with documents.
Using Aspose.Words for Java, you can easily convert PCL to RTF in just two simple steps. First, you need to render the PCL file to DOC using Aspose.PDF for Java. Then, you can use Aspose.Words for Java to convert the DOC to RTF. Both APIs are part of the Aspose.Total for Java package, which provides a range of APIs for working with documents.
Java API to Convert PCL to RTF
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.RTF
outputDocument.save("output.rtf", SaveFormat.RTF);
Open Password Protected PCL Document via Java
While converting PCL to RTF, 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 RTF Document to a Database via Java
While saving your input document to RTF 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 RTF 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.RTF);
// 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);
}
