Convert CGM to XLS in Java & J2SE Applications

Convert Password Protected CGM to XLS

Accurately load and convert documents that are protected with a password within your Java based applications. The file format conversion API also supports rendering remote documents from different sources including S3, Blob, FTP, Stream, URL or a local disk.

Create new instance of Converter class and pass source document path
Instantiate the proper ConvertOptions class e.g. (PdfConvertOptions, WordProcessingConvertOptions, SpreadsheetConvertOptions etc.)
Call convert method of Converter class instance and pass filename for the converted document

Source Document Information Extraction

The documents information extraction feature not only allows getting the basic information about the source document file but it also supports extracting some valuable file-format specific information such as project start and end dates of a Microsoft Project file, any printing restrictions on a PDF document, list of folders enclosed in an Outlook data file etc.

Convert popular document file formats on different operating systems such as Windows, Linux or macOS while using development environments such as NetBeans, IntelliJ IDEA and Eclipse.

Convert Specific Word Pages to PDF in Java

Java document conversion API allows you to choose selected pages from the source document and accurately convert to the supported document format. The code example below shows how to convert the 1st and 4th pages of a Word document to the resultant PDF file.

Create a new instance of Converter class and load input (Word) document
Instantiate the proper ConvertOptions class e.g. (PdfConvertOptions, WordProcessingConvertOptions, SpreadsheetConvertOptions etc)
Set setPages property of the ConvertOptions instance and mention specific page number to be converted
Call convert method of Converter class instance and pass filename (PDF) for the converted document

Caching Converted Document Results

In some cases, the converted document size is bigger and it takes time to be converted. The document conversion library offers the caching feature to efficiently manage such situations and speed up the repetitive conversion process. Enable the ICache interface to work with custom cache implementation using the extension point and control the cache conversion, as you prefer.

The conversion result is saved to the local drive by default but any type of cache storage can be supported by implementing the appropriate interfaces such as Amazon S3, Dropbox, Google Drive, Windows Azure, Reddis or any other.

What is CGM file format?

CGM (Computer Graphics Metafile) is a vector-based graphics file format that was developed by the International Standards Organization (ISO) in 1982. It is used for storing and exchanging 2D vector graphics, text, and bitmaps. CGM files are widely used in many industries such as engineering, mechanics, architecture and 3D modeling. CGM files typically have the file extension .cgm or .cg and can be opened and edited with a number of software programs such as Adobe Illustrator and CorelDraw. CGM files are considered to be superior to other standard graphics formats such as JPG, GIF and BMP because they are more efficient, allowing for better image quality and smaller file sizes. Additionally, CGM files can be used across different computer platforms and operate properly on multiple operating systems such as Windows and Mac OS. Overall, CGM files are a reliable and efficient way of storing and exchanging vector graphics, text, and bitmaps. They are widely used all over the world, and can be found in many different industries.

What is XLS file format?

The XLS file format is a file format used by Microsoft Excel, an application for spreadsheet and graphing. It is an updated version of the XLS file format that was introduced in Excel 97. The XLS file format is a spreadsheet format and can be used to store data in cells arranged in a tabular format. It can be used to create charts and graphs, along with other features such as formulas, variables and macros.

XLS files can be protected with passwords and encryption, allowing users to protect sensitive data. They also support multiple sheets, so they can contain large amounts of data. XLS files can be opened and read by a wide variety of software, including Microsoft Excel and other spreadsheet applications.

XLS files are compatible with a variety of operating systems and devices, making them a popular choice for storing, sharing and transferring data. They are usually used for data analysis, report-building, simulations and other business operations.

XLS files are also used for statistical analysis. They are used to visually display data in the form of charts, graphs and tables. They can also be used to store and analyze large amounts of data.

Overall, the XLS file format is an important file format used for storing and sharing data. It is used for data storage, analysis and report-building. It is compatible with a variety of different operating systems and devices, making it a popular choice for businesses.
