Transform PS to MARKDOWN via Java
On Premise Java API to Render PS to MARKDOWN without using any third party application
Converting a PostScript (PS) file to Markdown is a simple two-step process. The first step is to render the PS file to a DOC file using Aspose.PDF for Java. Aspose.PDF for Java is a powerful PDF document processing API that is part of the Aspose.Total for Java package. This package provides a comprehensive set of APIs for working with a variety of document formats, including PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and more.
Once the PS file has been rendered to a DOC file, the second step is to convert the DOC file to Markdown using Aspose.Words for Java. Aspose.Words for Java is a powerful document processing API that enables developers to create, edit, and convert documents in a variety of formats. It supports a wide range of document formats, including DOC, DOCX, HTML, Markdown, and more.
By using Aspose.PDF for Java and Aspose.Words for Java, you can easily convert a PS file to Markdown in just two simple steps. Aspose.Total for Java provides a comprehensive set of APIs for working with a variety of document formats, making it the perfect choice for developers who need to convert PS files to Markdown.
Java API to Convert PS to MARKDOWN
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 MARKDOWN, 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 MARKDOWN Document to a Database via Java
While saving your input document to MARKDOWN 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 MARKDOWN 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.MARKDOWN);
// 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);
}
