Convert Protected CGM to ODS via C#
If your CGM 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 the filename and password as arguments.
| // supports PDF, CGM, EPUB, TeX, PCL, PS, SVG, XPS, MD, MHTML, XML, and XSLFO input file formats | |
| // open password protected PDF document | |
| Document doc = new Document("input.pdf", "Your@Password"); | |
| // save document in XLSX format | |
| document.Save("excel_output.xlsx", Aspose.Pdf.SaveFormat.Xlsx); | |
| // load the XLSX file in an instance of Workbook | |
| var book = new Workbook("excel_output.xlsx"); | |
| // supports XLSB, XLSM, XLT, XLTX, XLTM, XLAM, CSV, TSV, TXT, ODS, DIF, MD, SXC, and FODS file format | |
| // save input document as CSV | |
| book.Save("output.csv", Aspose.Cells.SaveFormat.Auto); |
Convert CGM File to ODS with Watermark via C#
While converting CGM file to ODS, you can also add watermark to your output ODS file format. In order to add a watermark, you can create a new Workbook object and open the converted XLSX document, select Worksheet via its index, create a Shape and use its AddTextEffect function. After that you can save your XLSX document as ODS with Watermark.
| // supports PDF, CGM, EPUB, TeX, PCL, PS, SVG, XPS, MD, MHTML, XML, and XSLFO file format | |
| // load PDF as input file format with an instance of Document class | |
| var document = new Document("template.pdf"); | |
| // save document in XLSX format | |
| document.Save("excel_output.xlsx", Aspose.Pdf.SaveFormat.Xlsx); | |
| // load the XLSX file in an instance of Workbook | |
| var book = new Workbook("excel_output.xlsx"); | |
| // get the first default sheet | |
| var sheet = book.Worksheets[0]; | |
| // add a new shape to ShapesCollection of Worksheet | |
| var wordart = sheet.Shapes.AddTextEffect(Aspose.Cells.Drawing.MsoPresetTextEffect.TextEffect1, | |
| "CONFIDENTIAL", "Arial Black", 50, false, true, 18, 8, 1, 1, 130, 800); | |
| // supports XLSB, XLSM, XLT, XLTX, XLTM, XLAM, CSV, TSV, TXT, ODS, DIF, MD, SXC, and FODS file format | |
| // save input document as CSV | |
| book.Save("output.csv", Aspose.Cells.SaveFormat.Auto); |
