Transform XPS to XAMLFLOW via Java
On Premise Java API to Render XPS to XAMLFLOW without using any third party application
Converting XPS to XAMLFLOW 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 provide a wide range of features for document processing. The first step is to render the XPS file to DOC using Aspose.PDF for Java. Aspose.PDF for Java is a powerful API that enables you to create, edit, and manipulate PDF documents. It also allows you to convert XPS to DOC with ease. Once the XPS file is converted to DOC, the second step is to use Aspose.Words for Java to convert the DOC to XAMLFLOW. Aspose.Words for Java is a powerful document processing API that enables you to create, edit, and manipulate documents in various formats. It also allows you to convert DOC to XAMLFLOW with ease. With the help of Aspose.Total for Java, you can easily convert XPS to XAMLFLOW in just two simple steps.
Java API to Convert XPS to XAMLFLOW
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.XAML_FLOW
outputDocument.save("output.xaml_flow", SaveFormat.XAML_FLOW);
Open Password Protected XPS Document via Java
While converting XPS to XAMLFLOW, 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 XAMLFLOW Document to a Database via Java
While saving your input document to XAMLFLOW 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 XAMLFLOW 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.XAML_FLOW);
// 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 XAMLFLOW File Format?
XAMLFLOW serves as a file format employed in Microsoft’s Power Automate platform, empowering users to build customized workflows for automating business processes. It utilizes a markup language combining XML and XAML to define the structure and behavior of workflows. The flexibility and extensibility of XAMLFLOW are notable advantages. Leveraging the XAML markup language, users can define custom controls, styles, and templates, facilitating the creation of consistent and uniform workflows that can be reused across multiple instances.
One of the strengths of XAMLFLOW lies in its user-friendly nature. The drag-and-drop interface provided by Power Automate allows users to effortlessly create and modify workflows without the need for coding. Through the visual interface offered by the XAMLFLOW format, users can define the structure and behavior of workflows intuitively, ensuring ease of use and efficient workflow creation.
Furthermore, XAMLFLOW seamlessly integrates with various Microsoft products and services, including SharePoint, Dynamics 365, and PowerApps. This integration capability simplifies the process of creating workflows that seamlessly align with existing systems and processes. By leveraging XAMLFLOW, users can enhance the automation and efficiency of their business processes while leveraging the power and integration capabilities of the Microsoft ecosystem.
