Decrypt PS File using Owner Password via .NET
Before converting PS to ODT, if you want to decrypt your document you can do it by using the API. In order to decrypt the PDF file, you first need to create a Document object and open the PS using the owner’s password. After that, you need to call Decrypt method of the Document object. Finally, save the updated file using Save method of the Document object.
Create ReadOnly ODT- File via .NET
In order to protect your ODT from editing and to prevent other people from editing sensitive and confidential information in your document, you can also set the protection of the document using the API. You can limit the ability to edit a document and only allow certain actions with it. This can be done using Aspose.Words for .NET API. It enables you to control the way you restrict the content using the ProtectionType enumeration parameter. You can set your document to read-only by using the following lines of code.
Document document = new Document("input.doc");
// apply document protection and set protection password
doc.Protect(ProtectionType.ReadOnly, "password");
// call save method while passing SaveFormat.Odt
document.Save("output.odt", SaveFormat.Odt);
Transforming PS File to ODT Programmatically : Use Cases
PS (Portable Document Format) files are used to store documents, making them ideal for creating static documents and publications. However, when working with dynamic data, spreadsheets like OpenDocument Text (ODT) become essential for document editing and collaboration.
The conversion of PS files into ODT formats is necessary to unlock the full potential of your document editing and collaboration capabilities. This conversion enables you to:
Use Cases:
- Academic Research: Convert PS files to edit academic articles, theses, and dissertations, collaborate with peers, and share research findings.
- Technical Writing: Use ODT to create and edit technical documents, such as user manuals, guides, and instructions, for software applications, hardware devices, and engineering processes.
- Business Presentations: Convert PS files to create engaging presentations, reports, and proposals using OpenDocument Text, perfect for corporate communications, business meetings, and industry events.
- Publishing and Media: Use ODT to edit articles, stories, and other content for publications, websites, and online media platforms.
- Personal Projects: Convert PS files to create custom documents, such as resumes, certificates, and letters, using OpenDocument Text, tailored to individual needs.
