Transform PS to GIF via Java
On Premise Java API to Render PS to GIF without using any third party application
Converting a PS file to GIF can be done in two easy steps using Aspose.Total for Java. Aspose.Total for Java is a powerful suite of APIs that provide a comprehensive set of features for document processing.
The first step is to render the PS file to DOC using Aspose.PDF for Java. Aspose.PDF for Java is a powerful API that enables developers to create, edit, and convert PDF documents. It provides a wide range of features for manipulating PDF files, including the ability to render PS files to DOC.
The second step is to convert the DOC file to GIF using Aspose.Words for Java. Aspose.Words for Java is a powerful API that enables developers to create, edit, and convert documents. It provides a wide range of features for manipulating documents, including the ability to convert DOC files to GIF.
By using Aspose.Total for Java, you can easily convert a PS file to GIF in two simple steps. First, you render the PS file to DOC using Aspose.PDF for Java. Then, you convert the DOC file to GIF using Aspose.Words for Java. With Aspose.Total for Java, you can quickly and easily convert PS files to GIF.
Java API to Convert PS to GIF
Conversion Requirements
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 .
Open Password Protected PS Document via Java
While converting PS to GIF, 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 GIF Document to a Database via Java
While saving your input document to GIF 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 GIF 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.GIF);
// 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);
}
