Export XPS to ODS via Java
Convert XPS file to ODS by using on premise Java API within any Java J2SE, J2EE, J2ME applications
Aspose.Total for Java is a comprehensive suite of components that enables developers to integrate XPS to ODS conversion feature in their Java applications. It provides a two-step process for the conversion.
The first step involves rendering XPS to XLSX by using Aspose.PDF for Java. This component is a powerful PDF manipulation API that enables developers to create, edit, convert, and print PDF documents from within their Java applications. It provides a wide range of features such as document manipulation, text extraction, image extraction, form filling, annotation, and much more. It also supports the conversion of XPS to XLSX format.
The second step involves converting XLSX to ODS by using Aspose.Cells for Java. This component is a powerful spreadsheet programming API that enables developers to create, manipulate, and convert spreadsheets from within their Java applications. It provides a wide range of features such as document manipulation, text extraction, image extraction, form filling, annotation, and much more. It also supports the conversion of XLSX to ODS format.
By using Aspose.Total for Java, developers can easily integrate XPS to ODS conversion feature in their Java applications. It provides a two-step process for the conversion. Firstly, it renders XPS to XLSX by using Aspose.PDF for Java. Secondly, it converts XLSX to ODS by using Aspose.Cells for Java. This makes it easy for developers to create, manipulate, and convert spreadsheets from within their Java applications.
Convert XPS File to ODS via Java
Get Started with Java File Format APIs
You can easily use Aspose.Total for Java directly from a Maven based project and include Aspose.PDF for Java and Aspose.Cells for Java in your pom.xml.
Convert Protected XPS to ODS via Java
If your XPS document is password protected, you cannot convert it to ODS without the password. Using the API, you can first open the protected document using a valid password and convert it after it. In order to open the encrypted file, you can initialize a new instance of the Document class and pass filename and password as arguments.
Convert XPS File to ODS with Watermark via Java
While converting XPS file to ODS, you can also add watermark to your output ODS file format. In order to add a watermark, create a new Workbook to open the converted XLSX file. Select Worksheet via its index, create a Shape and use its addTextEffect function, set colors, transparency and more. After that you can save your XLSX document as ODS with Watermark.

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 ODS File Format?
The OpenDocument Spreadsheet (ODS) format is specifically designed for storing spreadsheet data and is commonly used by open source office suites like Apache OpenOffice and LibreOffice. ODS files utilize the OpenDocument XML format and are identified by the .ods file extension.
In an ODS file, data can be organized and stored within cells, allowing for efficient tabular representation. Cells can be formatted using various styles to enhance the visual appearance and readability. Additionally, ODS files can incorporate charts and other graphical elements to present data in a visually appealing manner.
One notable advantage of ODS files is their smaller file size compared to similar spreadsheet formats such as Microsoft Excel’s .xlsx format. This compactness facilitates easier file sharing, as smaller files are quicker to transfer and require less storage space.
ODS files offer compatibility and interoperability across multiple office suites and spreadsheet applications. They can be opened and edited in various software programs, ensuring flexibility in working with spreadsheet data. Furthermore, many applications support exporting data to the ODS format, enabling seamless data exchange between different software platforms.
The ODS format’s open nature and widespread support make it a practical choice for sharing and collaborating on spreadsheet data, promoting data portability and facilitating efficient workflows across different software applications.
