Transform XPS to DOTM via Java
On Premise Java API to Render XPS to DOTM without using any third party application
Converting XPS to DOTM is a simple two-step process that can be accomplished with the help of Aspose.Total for Java. Aspose.Total for Java is a comprehensive suite of APIs that provides powerful document processing capabilities.
The first step in the conversion process is to render the XPS file to DOC using Aspose.PDF for Java. Aspose.PDF for Java is a powerful PDF processing API that enables developers to create, edit, convert, and manipulate PDF documents. It also provides the ability to render XPS files to DOC format.
The second step is to convert the DOC file to DOTM format using Aspose.Words for Java. Aspose.Words for Java is a powerful document processing API that enables developers to create, edit, convert, and manipulate Word documents. It provides the ability to convert DOC files to DOTM format.
By using Aspose.Total for Java, developers can easily convert XPS to DOTM in just two simple steps. Aspose.Total for Java provides a comprehensive suite of APIs that enable developers to create, edit, convert, and manipulate a wide variety of document formats. With Aspose.Total for Java, developers can quickly and easily convert XPS to DOTM.
Java API to Convert XPS to DOTM
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 XPS file with an instance of Document class
Document document = new Document("template.xps");
// save XPS 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.DOTM
outputDocument.save("output.dotm", SaveFormat.DOTM);
Open Password Protected XPS Document via Java
While converting XPS to DOTM, 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 XPS using the owner’s password.
Document document = new Document("input.xps", "password");
// save XPS as a DOC
document.save("DocOutput.doc", SaveFormat.DOC);
Save DOTM Document to a Database via Java
While saving your input document to DOTM 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 DOTM 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.DOTM);
// 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);
}

What is XPS File Format?
XPS, short for XML Paper Specification, is a file format created by Microsoft to represent fixed-layout documents. XPS files contain the content and print settings of a document, making them suitable for preserving the layout and appearance of a document across different devices and platforms.
The XPS format is based on XML (eXtensible Markup Language), a widely used markup language for structured data representation. XPS files encapsulate document content, such as text, images, vector graphics, and annotations, in a structured XML format. This enables easy interpretation and rendering of the document’s visual elements.
XPS files are conceptually similar to PDF (Portable Document Format) files in that they both aim to provide a reliable way to present and share documents while preserving their formatting and layout. However, PDF files have gained broader support across different software applications and hardware devices, making them more widely accepted and compatible.
To view and work with XPS files, Microsoft provides an XPS Viewer as part of the Windows operating system. Various third-party applications and tools also offer support for opening, creating, and converting XPS files. However, compared to PDF, the range of software and hardware supporting the XPS format may be more limited.
What is DOTM File Format?
The DOTM file format is closely associated with Microsoft Word and is used for storing documents that contain macros. Similar to the standard DOCX format, DOTM files are based on the Open XML format, but with the added capability of incorporating VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) macros. These macros are small programs that automate tasks within Word documents, allowing for enhanced functionality and customization.
DOTM files serve as templates in Microsoft Word, providing a pre-defined structure, formatting, and macros that can be utilized in creating new documents. When a DOTM template is used, the macros within the template can be executed to perform specific actions, such as automating repetitive tasks or adding dynamic content.
To work with a DOTM file, you need a word processing program that supports the Open XML format and macro execution, such as Microsoft Word or other compatible software. Opening a DOTM file will create a new document based on the template, including its pre-defined macros. Users can then utilize or modify the macros as needed for their specific requirements.
It’s important to exercise caution when working with DOTM files, as macros can potentially contain malicious code. To ensure document security, it is recommended to only open DOTM files from trusted sources and employ proper antivirus measures.
The DOTM file format provides an effective means of creating and utilizing document templates with embedded macros, enhancing productivity and customization in Microsoft Word. By leveraging the power of macros, users can automate tasks, streamline workflows, and tailor their documents to meet specific needs.L format and can be opened by Word and other word processing applications.
