C# API to Render CGM to XLTM
Export CGM File to XLTM via C# without using Microsoft® Excel or Adobe® Acrobat Reader
Aspose.Total for .NET is a comprehensive suite of components that enables developers to easily convert CGM files to XLTM within any .NET, C#, ASP.NET and VB.NET applications. This suite of components provides a powerful and efficient way to perform the conversion without any hassle.
The conversion process starts with the use of Aspose.PDF for .NET, which is a powerful PDF manipulation API that enables developers to export CGM to XLSX. This API provides a wide range of features and options to manipulate PDF documents, including the ability to export CGM to XLSX.
Once the CGM file has been converted to XLSX, the next step is to use Aspose.Cells for .NET, which is a powerful spreadsheet programming API. This API provides a wide range of features and options to manipulate spreadsheets, including the ability to convert XLSX to XLTM. This API also provides a range of features and options to customize the output XLTM file, such as setting the page orientation, page size, page margins, and more.
Once the XLSX file has been converted to XLTM, the resulting file can be used in any .NET, C#, ASP.NET and VB.NET applications. This makes it easy to integrate the converted XLTM file into existing applications, or to create new applications that use the converted file.
Overall, Aspose.Total for .NET provides a powerful and efficient way to convert CGM files to XLTM within any .NET, C#, ASP.NET and VB.NET applications. This suite of components makes it easy to export CGM to XLSX, and then convert XLSX to XLTM, without any hassle. Furthermore, the resulting XLTM file can be used in any .NET, C#, ASP.NET and VB.NET applications, making it easy to integrate the converted file into existing applications, or to create new applications that use the converted file.

Convert Protected CGM to XLTM via C#
If your CGM document is password protected, you cannot convert it to XLTM 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 XLTM with Watermark via C#
While converting CGM file to XLTM, you can also add watermark to your output XLTM 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 XLTM 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 | |
