Transform XPS to FLATOPC via Java
On Premise Java API to Render XPS to FLATOPC without using any third party application
Converting XPS to FLATOPC is a simple two-step process. The first step is to render the XPS file to DOC using Aspose.PDF for Java. Aspose.PDF for Java is a powerful document processing API that is part of the Aspose.Total for Java package. This API allows you to easily convert XPS files to DOC format.
The second step is to use Aspose.Words for Java to convert the DOC file to FLATOPC. Aspose.Words for Java is a powerful document processing API that is also part of the Aspose.Total for Java package. This API allows you to quickly and easily convert DOC files to FLATOPC format.
By using Aspose.PDF for Java and Aspose.Words for Java, you can easily and quickly convert XPS to FLATOPC. Both APIs are part of the Aspose.Total for Java package, so you can access them both with a single purchase. With these two APIs, you can quickly and easily convert XPS to FLATOPC in just two simple steps.
Java API to Convert XPS to FLATOPC
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.FLAT_OPC
outputDocument.save("output.flat_opc", SaveFormat.FLAT_OPC);
Open Password Protected XPS Document via Java
While converting XPS to FLATOPC, 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 FLATOPC Document to a Database via Java
While saving your input document to FLATOPC 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 FLATOPC 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.FLAT_OPC);
// 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 FLATOPC File Format?
The FLATOPC format is an XML-based file format specifically used by Microsoft Word 2003 and later versions. It serves as a compressed variant of the WordprocessingML format, aiming to improve efficiency in terms of storage and transmission. By utilizing compression techniques, FLATOPC files are designed to occupy less space while maintaining the essential content of the document.
FLATOPC format finds its application not only in Microsoft Word but also in other related software. For instance, Microsoft Office Word Viewer, a program dedicated to viewing Word documents, supports the FLATOPC format. Additionally, Microsoft Office Word for the web, the online version of Microsoft Word, also employs the FLATOPC format for document storage and processing.
The XML-based nature of the FLATOPC format enables structured representation of the document’s content, formatting, and other relevant information. It provides a standardized and machine-readable format that allows for easy parsing and manipulation of Word documents.
