Transform PS to DOT via Java
On Premise Java API to Render PS to DOT without using any third party application
Converting a PostScript (PS) file to a Document Template (DOT) file can be done in two simple steps using the Aspose.Total for Java package. The first step is to render the PS file to a DOC file using the Aspose.PDF for Java API. This powerful PDF processing API allows you to easily convert PS files to DOC files. Once the PS file has been converted to a DOC file, the second step is to use the Aspose.Words for Java API to convert the DOC file to a DOT file. This powerful document processing API allows you to quickly and easily convert DOC files to DOT files. With the Aspose.Total for Java package, you can easily and quickly convert PS files to DOT files in just two simple steps.
Java API to Convert PS to DOT
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 PS file with an instance of Document class
Document document = new Document("template.ps");
// save PS 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.DOT
outputDocument.save("output.dot", SaveFormat.DOT);
Open Password Protected PS Document via Java
While converting PS to DOT, 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 PS using the owner’s password.
Document document = new Document("input.ps", "password");
// save PS as a DOC
document.save("DocOutput.doc", SaveFormat.DOC);
Save DOT Document to a Database via Java
While saving your input document to DOT 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 DOT 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.DOT);
// 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);
}
