Transform PS to FLATOPC via Java
On Premise Java API to Render PS to FLATOPC without using any third party application
Converting a PostScript (PS) file to a Flat OPC (FLATOPC) file is a simple two-step process that can be accomplished with the help of Aspose.Total for Java. Aspose.Total for Java is a comprehensive suite of APIs that provide powerful document processing capabilities.
The first step in the conversion process is to render the PS file to a DOC file using Aspose.PDF for Java. Aspose.PDF for Java is a powerful PDF processing API that enables developers to create, edit, convert, and manipulate PDF documents. It also provides the ability to render a PS file to a DOC file.
The second step is to convert the DOC file to a FLATOPC file using Aspose.Words for Java. Aspose.Words for Java is a powerful document processing API that enables developers to create, edit, convert, and manipulate Word documents. It also provides the ability to convert a DOC file to a FLATOPC file.
By using Aspose.Total for Java, developers can easily convert a PS file to a FLATOPC file in just two simple steps. Aspose.PDF for Java can be used to render the PS file to a DOC file, and Aspose.Words for Java can be used to convert the DOC file to a FLATOPC file. This makes it easy for developers to quickly and easily convert PS files to FLATOPC files.
Java API to Convert PS to FLATOPC
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.FLAT_OPC
outputDocument.save("output.flat_opc", SaveFormat.FLAT_OPC);
Open Password Protected PS Document via Java
While converting PS to FLATOPC, 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 FLATOPC Document to a Database via Java
While saving your input document to FLATOPC 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 FLATOPC 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.FLAT_OPC);
// 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);
}

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 FLATOPC File Format?
The FLATOPC format is an XML-based file format specifically used by Microsoft Word 2003 and later versions. It serves as a compressed variant of the WordprocessingML format, aiming to improve efficiency in terms of storage and transmission. By utilizing compression techniques, FLATOPC files are designed to occupy less space while maintaining the essential content of the document.
FLATOPC format finds its application not only in Microsoft Word but also in other related software. For instance, Microsoft Office Word Viewer, a program dedicated to viewing Word documents, supports the FLATOPC format. Additionally, Microsoft Office Word for the web, the online version of Microsoft Word, also employs the FLATOPC format for document storage and processing.
The XML-based nature of the FLATOPC format enables structured representation of the document’s content, formatting, and other relevant information. It provides a standardized and machine-readable format that allows for easy parsing and manipulation of Word documents.
