Transform XPS to GIF via Java
On Premise Java API to Render XPS to GIF without using any third party application
Converting an XPS file to GIF can be done in two simple steps using the powerful Aspose.Total for Java package. The first step is to render the XPS file to DOC using Aspose.PDF for Java. This API is part of the Aspose.Total for Java package and provides a comprehensive set of features for manipulating PDF documents. After the XPS file has been rendered to DOC, the second step is to convert the DOC to GIF using Aspose.Words for Java. This API is also part of the Aspose.Total for Java package and provides a comprehensive set of features for manipulating Word documents. With these two APIs, you can easily convert XPS to GIF in just two steps. Aspose.Total for Java is a comprehensive package that provides a wide range of features for manipulating documents of various formats. It is an ideal solution for developers who need to convert XPS to GIF quickly and easily.
Java API to Convert XPS 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 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.GIF
outputDocument.save("output.gif", SaveFormat.GIF);
Open Password Protected XPS Document via Java
While converting XPS 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 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 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);
}
