Transform PS to ODT via Java
On Premise Java API to Render PS to ODT without using any third party application
Converting a PostScript (PS) file to OpenDocument Text (ODT) format can be done in two easy steps. The first step is to render the PS file to a Microsoft Word (DOC) format using the powerful Aspose.PDF for Java API. Aspose.PDF for Java is a part of the Aspose.Total for Java package, which provides a comprehensive set of APIs for document processing.
Once the PS file is converted to DOC, the second step is to use the Aspose.Words for Java API to convert the DOC file to ODT. Aspose.Words for Java is a powerful document processing API that can be used to convert documents from one format to another. It supports a wide range of document formats, including DOC, ODT, and many more.
By using the two APIs provided by Aspose.Total for Java, you can easily convert a PS file to ODT format. The process is simple and straightforward, and the results are of high quality. Furthermore, the APIs are easy to use and can be integrated into any application.
Java API to Convert PS to ODT
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.ODT
outputDocument.save("output.odt", SaveFormat.ODT);
Open Password Protected PS Document via Java
While converting PS to ODT, 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 ODT Document to a Database via Java
While saving your input document to ODT 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 ODT 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.ODT);
// 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);
}
