Java API to Export PDF to SWF
Export PDF to SWF via on premise Java API without using Microsoft® PowerPoint or Adobe® Acrobat Reader
Aspose.Total for Java is a comprehensive suite of components that enables developers to easily convert PDF to SWF within any Java J2SE, J2EE, or J2ME application. The process involves two steps, both of which are made simple by the use of Aspose.Total for Java.
The first step is to export the PDF to PPTX using Aspose.PDF for Java. This powerful PDF Processing API allows developers to convert PDF documents to a variety of other formats, including PPTX. It also provides a range of features for manipulating PDF documents, such as adding or removing pages, extracting text, and more.
The second step is to convert the PPTX to SWF using Aspose.Slides for Java. This PowerPoint Processing API provides a range of features for creating, editing, and converting presentations. It also allows developers to export presentations to a variety of formats, including SWF.
In summary, Aspose.Total for Java makes it easy to convert PDF to SWF within any Java application. By using Aspose.PDF for Java to export PDF to PPTX, and then Aspose.Slides for Java to convert PPTX to SWF, developers can quickly and easily convert PDF documents to SWF.
Java API to Convert PDF to SWF
- Open PDF file using Document class
- Convert PDF to PPTX by using save method
- Load PPTX document by using Presentation class
- Save the document to SWF format using
save
method and set
Swfas SaveFormat
Get Started with Java File Format APIs
You can easily use Aspose.Total for Java directly from a Maven based project and include Aspose.PDF for Java and Aspose.Slides for Java in your pom.xml.
Alternatively, you can get a ZIP file from downloads .
// load PDF file with an instance of Document class
Document document = new Document("template.pdf");
// save PDF as PPTX format
document.save("PptxOutput.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx);
// instantiate a Presentation object that represents a PPTX file
Presentation presentation = new Presentation("PptxOutput.pptx");
// save the presentation as Swf format
presentation.save("output.swf", SaveFormat.Swf);
Open Encrypted PDF File via Java
While loading PDF file format, your document might be password protected. Aspose.PDF for Java allows you open encrypted documents as well. In order to open the encrypted file, you can initialize new instance of the Document class and pass filename and password as arguments.
// open PDF document
Document doc = new Document("input.pdf", "Your@Password");
// save PDF as PPTX format
document.save("PptxOutput.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx);
Save SWF File with Predefined View Type via Java
After converting PDF to SWF, you can also add predefined view type for your presentation. Aspose.Slides for Java provides a facility to set the view type for the generated presentation when it is opened in PowerPoint through the ViewProperties class. The setLastView property is used to set the view type by using the ViewType enumerator.
// instantiate a Presentation object that represents a PPTX file
Presentation presentation = new Presentation("PptxOutput.pptx");
// set view type
presentation.getViewProperties().setLastView((byte) ViewType.SlideMasterView);
// save the presentation as Swf format
presentation.save("output.swf", SaveFormat.Swf);

What is PDF File Format?
PDF, or Portable Document Format, is a file format designed for presenting documents in a manner that remains consistent across various software applications, hardware devices, and operating systems. Each PDF file contains a comprehensive description of a fixed-layout document, encompassing text, fonts, graphics, and other necessary information for accurate display. Initially developed by Adobe Systems in the early 1990s, PDF served as a means to share computer documents while preserving text formatting and inline images.
PDF files are typically generated using software like Adobe Acrobat or similar PDF creation tools. Presently, PDF has become an open standard governed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). This standardization ensures compatibility and interoperability across different platforms and systems. To view PDF files, users can utilize free software such as Adobe Reader or other PDF viewers available.
One of the significant advantages of PDF is its platform independence, allowing seamless viewing and printing on a wide range of devices and operating systems. Regardless of the hardware or software used, the document’s layout and content will remain intact. This universal accessibility has contributed to the popularity of PDF as a preferred format for sharing and distributing documents across diverse platforms and systems.
PDF’s capability to encapsulate a complete document, including text, fonts, graphics, and formatting, makes it a reliable choice for various applications. Whether it’s sharing important reports, publishing e-books, distributing forms, or delivering professional presentations, PDF ensures consistent document rendering and reliable preservation of content across different environments.
What is SWF File Format?
The SWF (Shockwave Flash) file format is a popular multimedia format primarily used for delivering interactive and animated content on the web. Developed by Macromedia (now owned by Adobe Systems), SWF files are widely supported by web browsers and plug-ins, making them an integral part of web design and online entertainment.
SWF files are primarily composed of vector graphics, animation, audio, and video elements. They are created using software such as Adobe Animate (formerly known as Flash Professional) or other SWF authoring tools. The format supports interactivity through scripting languages like ActionScript, allowing developers to create interactive buttons, menus, and games within SWF files.
One of the key advantages of SWF files is their compact size. They are highly compressed, resulting in small file sizes that can be quickly downloaded and streamed over the internet. This makes SWF files ideal for delivering multimedia content efficiently, even on slower internet connections.
SWF files are often embedded into web pages, providing a seamless and engaging user experience. They can be played directly within web browsers using Adobe Flash Player or other SWF players. Additionally, SWF files can be standalone applications or screensavers, providing versatile usage beyond the web.
Over the years, the SWF format has evolved to support advanced features like 3D graphics, hardware acceleration, and multimedia streaming. However, it’s important to note that the usage of SWF files has declined in recent years due to the rise of alternative web technologies, such as HTML5 and CSS3, which offer similar capabilities without the need for additional plug-ins or proprietary software.
