Convert PS to APNG via Java
Export PS file to APNG within any within any Java J2SE, J2EE, J2ME applications without using Adobe® Acrobat Reader
Converting a PostScript (PS) file to an Animated Portable Network Graphics (APNG) image in Java can be done in two simple steps. The first step is to use the Aspose.PDF for Java API to export the PS file to a JPEG image. Aspose.PDF for Java is a part of the Aspose.Total for Java package, which is a suite of APIs that provides a comprehensive set of features for manipulating and managing documents, images, and other file formats.
Once the PS file has been converted to a JPEG image, the second step is to use the Aspose.Imaging for Java API to render the JPEG image to an APNG image. Aspose.Imaging for Java is an image processing API that provides a wide range of features for manipulating and managing images. It can be used to convert images from one format to another, resize images, crop images, and more.
By using the Aspose.PDF for Java and Aspose.Imaging for Java APIs, you can easily convert a PS file to an APNG image in Java. Both APIs are part of the Aspose.Total for Java package, which provides a comprehensive set of features for manipulating and managing documents, images, and other file formats.
Convert PS to APNG in a Single File via Java
The API also allows you to export PS file to APNG to a single file. In order to convert all pages, you can first render your PS document to one TIFF file and after that, you can export the TIFF file to APNG. 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 APNG format using save method.
Convert PS to APNG With Watermark via Java
Using the API, you can also export PS file to APNG with watermark in your APNG document. In order to add a watermark to you can first convert PS 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 APNG format.
Convert & Rotate PS to APNG File via Java
Using the API, you can also rotate the output APNG 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 .

What is PS File Format?
The PS (PostScript) file format is a page description language developed by Adobe Systems. It is commonly used for printing and is supported by a wide range of printers and imaging devices. PS files contain instructions that describe how elements such as text, images, and graphics should be rendered on a printed page.
PS files are created by applications that generate PostScript output, such as Adobe Illustrator, Adobe InDesign, or other graphics software. They are primarily used in professional printing workflows, where high-quality and consistent output is required.
The PS file format is based on a stack-based programming language, where commands and operands are placed on a stack and executed in a sequential manner. This allows for precise control over page layout, typography, color, and other printing parameters.
PS files are typically text-based and can be opened and edited with a text editor. They consist of a series of ASCII characters that represent the PostScript code. The code describes the arrangement and appearance of objects on a page, including text positioning, image placement, and graphical transformations.
While PS files are primarily used for printing, they can also be converted to other formats for digital distribution or further processing. For example, PS files can be converted to PDF (Portable Document Format) files, which are widely supported and can be easily viewed and printed on various devices.
What is APNG File Format?
Animated Portable Network Graphics (APNG) is a file format for animated images. It is an extension of the Portable Network Graphics (PNG) format, adding support for animation. APNG files are similar to MNG files, but APNG is much simpler and has better support in web browsers. APNG was created as an extension of the PNG format to allow for animated images. It uses the same compression as PNG, so the file size is usually smaller than GIF. APNG also supports transparency and alpha compositing, like PNG. The main difference between APNG and other animated image formats is that APNG uses frame-based animation, while other formats (like GIF) use sprite-based animation. This means that each frame in an APNG file can be a different size and have a different transparency level. APNG also supports variable frame rates and frame delays, so the animation can be smoother than GIF. APNG is supported by most web browsers, including Firefox, Chrome, and Safari. Internet Explorer does not support APNG, but there is a plugin available.
