Transform TEX to OTT via Java
On Premise Java API to Render TEX to OTT without using any third party application
Converting a TEX file to OTT can be done in two easy steps with the help of Aspose.Total for Java. Aspose.Total for Java is a powerful suite of APIs that can be used to process documents. The first step is to render the TEX file to DOC using Aspose.PDF for Java. Aspose.PDF for Java is a powerful PDF processing API that can be used to convert TEX to DOC. Once the TEX file is converted to DOC, the second step is to use Aspose.Words for Java to convert the DOC to OTT. Aspose.Words for Java is a powerful document processing API that can be used to convert DOC to OTT. With the help of these two APIs, you can easily convert TEX to OTT in just two simple steps.
Java API to Convert TEX to OTT
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.OTT
outputDocument.save("output.ott", SaveFormat.OTT);
Open Password Protected TEX Document via Java
While converting TEX to OTT, 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 OTT Document to a Database via Java
While saving your input document to OTT 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 OTT 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.OTT);
// 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);
}
