Transform PS to MHTML via Java
On Premise Java API to Render PS to MHTML without using any third party application
Converting a PostScript (PS) file to MHTML 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 processing API that is part of the Aspose.Total for Java package. This package contains a suite of APIs that can be used to create, edit, and convert a variety of document formats.
Once the PS file has been rendered to a DOC file, the second step is to convert the DOC file to MHTML using Aspose.Words for Java. Aspose.Words for Java is a powerful document processing API that is also part of the Aspose.Total for Java package. This API can be used to convert a variety of document formats, including DOC, to MHTML.
By following these two simple steps, you can easily convert a PS file to MHTML. Aspose.PDF for Java and Aspose.Words for Java are both powerful APIs that are part of the Aspose.Total for Java package. This package contains a suite of APIs that can be used to create, edit, and convert a variety of document formats.
Java API to Convert PS to MHTML
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.MHTML
outputDocument.save("output.mhtml", SaveFormat.MHTML);
Open Password Protected PS Document via Java
While converting PS to MHTML, 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 MHTML Document to a Database via Java
While saving your input document to MHTML 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 MHTML 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.MHTML);
// 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);
}
