Convert XSLFO file to PSD via C#
Export XSLFO to PSD within .NET applications without using Adobe® Acrobat Reader or any other third party applications
Aspose.Total for .NET is a comprehensive suite of APIs that enables developers to easily create, manipulate, and convert various file formats within .NET applications. It includes APIs for manipulating PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and other file formats. With Aspose.Total for .NET, developers can easily export XSLFO to PSD image within any .NET applications in two simple steps.
The first step is to use Aspose.PDF for .NET to export XSLFO to JPEG. Aspose.PDF for .NET is a powerful PDF manipulation API that enables developers to create, read, edit, and convert PDF documents within .NET applications. It provides a wide range of features for manipulating PDF documents, including the ability to export XSLFO to JPEG.
The second step is to use Aspose.Imaging for .NET to convert the JPEG to PSD. Aspose.Imaging for .NET is an image processing API that enables developers to create, edit, and convert various image formats within .NET applications. It provides a wide range of features for manipulating images, including the ability to convert JPEG to PSD.
By using Aspose.Total for .NET, developers can easily export XSLFO to PSD image within any .NET applications in two simple steps. First, they can use Aspose.PDF for .NET to export XSLFO to JPEG. Then, they can use Aspose.Imaging for .NET to convert the JPEG to PSD. This makes it easy for developers to create, manipulate, and convert various file formats within .NET applications.
Convert XSLFO file to PSD via .NET
- Open XSLFO file using Document class
- Initialize JpegDevice class object and render XSLFO to JPEG by using Process method
- Load JPEG file by using Image class
- Save the document to PSD format using Save method
Get Started with .NET File Automation APIs
Install from command line as nuget install Aspose.Total or install directly from Package Manager Console of Visual Studio.
Alternatively, get the offline MSI installer or DLLs in a ZIP file from downloads .
Convert XSLFO File to PSD in a Single File via C#
Using the API, you can also convert XSLFO file to PSD to a single image file. In order to convert all pages, you can first render your XSLFO document to one TIFF file and after that you can export TIFF file to PSD. 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 PSD format using Save method.
Convert XSLFO to PSD With Watermark via C#
Using the API, you can also convert XSLFO file to PSD with watermark in your PSD document. In order to add a watermark, you can first render your XSLFO document to JPEG and add a watermark in it. To demonstrate the operation, you can load your converted JPEG image, add transformations using an object of Matrix class and draw a string as the watermark on the image surface using the Graphics class’ DrawString method. After adding the watermark in it, you can save the JPEG as PSD format. Below is a code example that demonstrates how to add a diagonal watermark to your document.
Convert & Rotate XSLFO File to PSD via C#
Using the API, you can also rotate the output PSD 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. 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 factory method exposed by Image class and call the Image.RotateFlip method while specifying the appropriate RotateFlipType .

What is XSLFO File Format?
XSLFO is a XML-based page description language. It is most often used to generate PDF documents from XML data. XSLFO defines the layout and appearance of pages and page elements. It includes features for defining the size and position of pages and page elements, the font and color of text, and the rules for flowing text from one page to another. XSLFO is part of the XSLT standard, and can be used with any XML document.
What is PSD File Format?
The PSD (Photoshop Document) file format is the default file format used by Adobe Photoshop, a popular software application for graphic design and image editing. PSD files are designed to store layered images, allowing users to work with multiple elements and effects on separate layers within a single file.
PSD files are characterized by their ability to preserve complex image data, including layers, masks, blending modes, transparency, and other advanced features. This makes them highly versatile and flexible for professional graphic designers and photographers who require precise control over their creative work.
In a PSD file, each layer can contain different image elements, such as text, shapes, filters, adjustment layers, and more. This layer-based approach allows for non-destructive editing, as users can modify individual layers without affecting the rest of the image. It also enables easy editing and manipulation of specific parts of an image.
The PSD file format supports high-quality color modes, such as RGB, CMYK, and grayscale, ensuring accurate representation of colors for various output purposes, including print and web.
In addition to Adobe Photoshop, many other image editing software applications can open and edit PSD files, although some advanced features may not be fully supported. However, to retain all the layer information and effects, it is recommended to work with PSD files in Adobe Photoshop.
When the editing process is complete, PSD files can be saved in other common image file formats, such as JPEG or PNG, for sharing or web display purposes. However, it’s important to note that converting a PSD file to another format may result in the loss of layer information and other advanced features.
