Transform TEX to GIF via Java
On Premise Java API to Render TEX to GIF without using any third party application
Converting TEX to GIF is a simple two-step process that can be done with the help of Aspose.Total for Java. Aspose.Total for Java is a comprehensive suite of APIs that provides a wide range of features for document processing.
The first step in the process is to render the TEX file to DOC using Aspose.PDF for Java. Aspose.PDF for Java is a powerful PDF processing API that enables developers to create, edit, and convert PDF documents. It also allows developers to render TEX files to DOC format.
The second step is to convert the DOC file to GIF using Aspose.Words for Java. Aspose.Words for Java is a powerful document processing API that enables developers to create, edit, and convert documents. It also allows developers to convert DOC files to GIF format.
By using Aspose.Total for Java, developers can easily convert TEX to GIF in a few simple steps. Aspose.Total for Java is a comprehensive suite of APIs that provides a wide range of features for document processing. It includes Aspose.PDF for Java and Aspose.Words for Java, which are both necessary for converting TEX to GIF.
Java API to Convert TEX to GIF
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 TEX file with an instance of Document class
Document document = new Document("template.tex");
// save TEX 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.GIF
outputDocument.save("output.gif", SaveFormat.GIF);
Open Password Protected TEX Document via Java
While converting TEX 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 TEX using the owner’s password.
Document document = new Document("input.tex", "password");
// save TEX 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);
}
