Convert PDF to DXF via Java
Export PDF file to DXF within any within any Java J2SE, J2EE, J2ME applications without using Adobe® Acrobat Reader
Converting a PDF file to a DXF image in Java can be done in two easy steps. The first step is to use the Aspose.PDF for Java API, which is part of the Aspose.Total for Java package. This API allows you to export a PDF file to a JPEG image. The second step is to use the Aspose.Imaging for Java Image Processing API to render the JPEG image to a DXF image.
The Aspose.PDF for Java API is a powerful PDF manipulation library that allows you to create, edit, convert, and manipulate PDF documents. It also provides features such as text extraction, document signing, and document merging. The API supports a wide range of file formats, including PDF, XPS, and HTML.
The Aspose.Imaging for Java Image Processing API is a powerful library that allows you to manipulate images. It provides features such as image resizing, cropping, and rotating. It also supports a wide range of image formats, including JPEG, PNG, and TIFF.
By using the Aspose.PDF for Java and Aspose.Imaging for Java APIs, you can easily convert a PDF file to a DXF image in Java. Both APIs are part of the Aspose.Total for Java package, which provides a comprehensive set of APIs for manipulating documents, images, and other file formats.
Convert PDF to DXF in a Single File via Java
The API also allows you to export PDF file to DXF to a single file. In order to convert all pages, you can first render your PDF document to one TIFF file and after that, you can export the TIFF file to DXF. 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 DXF format using save method.
Convert PDF to DXF With Watermark via Java
Using the API, you can also export PDF file to DXF with watermark in your DXF document. In order to add a watermark to you can first convert PDF 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 DXF format.
Convert & Rotate PDF to DXF File via Java
Using the API, you can also rotate the output DXF 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 .
