Convert XSLFO to DXF via Java
Export XSLFO file to DXF within any within any Java J2SE, J2EE, J2ME applications without using Adobe® Acrobat Reader
Converting an XSLFO file to a DXF image in Java is a simple two-step process. The first step is to use the Aspose.PDF for Java API to export the XSLFO file to a JPEG image. Aspose.PDF for Java is part of the Aspose.Total for Java package, which includes a wide range of APIs for manipulating documents, images, and other file formats.
Once the XSLFO file has been converted to a JPEG image, the second step is to use the Aspose.Imaging for Java API to render the JPEG image to a DXF image. Aspose.Imaging for Java is an image processing API that provides a range of features for manipulating images, including the ability to convert images from one format to another.
Using Aspose.PDF for Java and Aspose.Imaging for Java, you can easily convert an XSLFO file to a DXF image in Java. The process is straightforward and requires only two steps. First, you export the XSLFO file to a JPEG image using Aspose.PDF for Java, and then you render the JPEG image to a DXF image using Aspose.Imaging for Java. Both APIs are part of the Aspose.Total for Java package, which provides a comprehensive set of APIs for manipulating documents, images, and other file formats.
Convert XSLFO to DXF in a Single File via Java
The API also allows you to export XSLFO file to DXF to a single file. In order to convert all pages, you can first render your XSLFO document to one TIFF file and after that, you can export the TIFF file to DXF. You can open the input file using Document class and create Resolution, TiffSettings, & TIFF device objects. You can get a single TIFF image using process method of TiffDevice class. Finally, you can load TIFF file using Image class and save it to DXF format using save method.
Convert XSLFO to DXF With Watermark via Java
Using the API, you can also export XSLFO file to DXF with watermark in your DXF document. In order to add a watermark to you can first convert XSLFO to JPEG and add a watermark in it. In order to add watermark, load an image file using the Image class, create an object of the Graphics class and initialize it with Image object, create a new Matrix object and set translation and transformation to the desired angle and add watermark using Graphics.drawString method. After adding the watermark in your image, you can save the JPEG as DXF format.
Convert & Rotate XSLFO to DXF File via Java
Using the API, you can also rotate the output DXF image as per your needs. The Image.rotateFlip method can be used to rotate the image by 90/180/270-degrees and flip the image horizontally or vertically. The library provides simple methods to perform complex operations while encapsulating all ugly details. You can specify the type of rotation and flip to apply to the image. In order to rotate and flip the image, you can load the converted JPEG image using the Image class and call the Image.rotateFlip method while specifying the appropriate RotateFlipType .
