Convert MSG to BMP in Java & J2SE Applications

Convert Password Protected MSG to BMP

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 MSG file format?

The MSG file format, developed by Microsoft, is designed to store email messages, contacts, appointments, and other messaging data. It is widely used across Microsoft products, including Outlook, Exchange, and Office 365. MSG files are structured to store data using MAPI properties and data types, allowing for various formats such as plain text, HTML, and RTF. Additionally, MSG files can store attachments like images, videos, documents, and other file types.

These files are typically generated when an email is sent or received, or when contacts or appointments are created or modified. Alongside messages, MSG files can also house other data, such as calendar events or tasks associated with an Outlook account. Furthermore, MSG files find application in various Microsoft applications, including Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, and Skype for Business.

One of the key advantages of MSG files is their reliability and security, making them a preferred choice for business purposes. They offer a robust and structured format for storing messaging data, ensuring its integrity and accessibility. This reliability, coupled with their compatibility across Microsoft products, contributes to their popularity in business environments.

What is BMP file format?

BMP (or Bitmap) is a file format used to store digital images, especially on Microsoft Windows and OS/2 operating systems. It is used to store bitmap digital images, both monochrome (1 bit) and color (4, 8, 16, 24, and 32 bit). The BMP file format is widely used in the Windows world, where it is supported by virtually all the existing graphics applications. The BMP format is a device-independent bitmap graphics format that allows a flexible set of information to accompany the image data. A BMP file includes both encoded image data as well as information about the image, such as its size, resolution and color depth.

The BMP format supports various color depths. The BMP file compression method supports both lossless (uncompressed) and lossy (compressed) formats. Lossless compression saves space without sacrificing quality, while lossy compression sacrifices quality in order to save space.

BMP files are widely used in both professional and consumer applications. Web designers often use them for web page graphics to make their pages look better. They are also used for printing digital photos and for creating computer icons.
