Extract DOT Document Information

Conholdate.Total document information extraction feature not only provides basic file information of source document (DOT), but also extracts valuable format-specific details. For instance, it can extract project start and end dates from a Microsoft Project file, printing restrictions from a PDF document, folder lists from an Outlook data file, and layer and layout information from a CAD document. With this feature, users can quickly and easily access crucial information from a variety of file types.

Conholdate.Total for Java APIs also offer the auto-detection feature for unknown file format extensions of source documents in byte stream format, making it a convenient tool for efficient document conversion.

Convert Specific DOT Pages to XLAM in Java

Java document processing 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 DOT document to the resultant XLAM file.

Create a new instance of Converter class and load input (DOT) 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 (XLAM) for the converted document

Cache Converted XLAM Results

The document conversion process can sometimes result in larger file sizes and longer conversion times. To address this, Conholdate.Total’s document conversion library offers a caching feature that optimizes the repetitive conversion process. By enabling the ICache interface, developers can work with custom cache implementations using the extension point to control caching as desired.

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 DOT file format?

DOT is a plain text graph description language used by the Graphviz visualization software. It is based on the DOT language developed by AT&T Labs for specifying graphs in a text-based format. The DOT format is simple and readable, allowing graphs to be rapidly written and edited. It also enables parts of large graphs to be quickly examined without having to edit the entire file. By encoding the graph structure in text, the DOT format makes it easy to share graph data with other programs. Graphs specified in the DOT format can be rendered into images using the Graphviz software.

What is XLAM file format?

The XLAM file format is an extension used for Microsoft Excel add-in files. Add-ins are additional programs or functionality that can be added to Excel to extend its capabilities. XLAM files contain macros, user-defined functions, custom toolbars, and other automation features that enhance Excel’s functionality.

XLAM files are saved in a compiled format, which means that the code within the file is pre-compiled and ready to be executed by Excel. This offers improved performance compared to other file formats that store macros in a source code format (such as XLSM files). Additionally, XLAM files are typically password-protected to prevent unauthorized access and modifications to the code.

When an XLAM file is installed as an add-in in Excel, its functionality becomes available across multiple workbooks. This allows users to access and use the macros and custom functions provided by the add-in without having to copy the code to each individual workbook. XLAM files can be distributed and shared with others, enabling consistent automation across different Excel environments.

To use an XLAM file, it needs to be installed as an add-in in Excel. This can be done by going to the Excel Options menu, selecting the Add-Ins tab, and browsing for the XLAM file to add it as an add-in. Once installed, the macros and functions provided by the XLAM file can be accessed and used within Excel.
