Convert XPS to PPTX in Java & J2SE Applications

Convert Password Protected XPS to PPTX

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 XPS file format?

XPS stands for XML Paper Specification and is a type of file format developed by Microsoft. It is an open standard for fixed-layout documents and is an alternative to Adobe’s PDF file format. XPS files are designed to be a simpler format than PDF, allowing greater compatibility with a range of operating systems and devices. XPS files are structured documents, meaning they are composed of multiple parts such as metadata, content and layout. This makes them easier to display and print across different operating systems. XPS is commonly used to store print function settings, so documents maintain a constant appearance regardless of the device that prints them. The XPS file format is also popular in document archiving, as it is less likely to become corrupted than other file formats. It also supports advanced features such as encryption and digital signature, allowing documents to be securely shared and transmitted. In recent years, XPS has become less popular, as the PDF format has become more widely adopted. However, it remains an important document format for businesses and organizations, as it provides greater stability and control over document integrity.

What is PPTX file format?

PPTX (PowerPoint Open XML) is a file format used by Microsoft PowerPoint, a popular presentation software. PPTX files store presentation data in an XML format and are used to create professional-looking slideshows. They can include text, images, animation, audio, and video elements. A PPTX file is a great way to share presentations with others because it can be opened on both Windows and Mac computers. It also enables users to make and save changes to the presentation without overwriting the original file. Additionally, PPTX files are generally much smaller than PPT files, which makes them easier to share. When creating a presentation in PowerPoint, users can save the file in either a PPTX or a PPT format. To make sure the presentations look the same across all platforms, it’s recommended to always save in the PPTX format. PPTX files can be opened in other presentation software such as Apple Keynote and Google Slides, however some features may be unavailable. Additionally, the file size may be larger than the original PPTX file. Overall, the PPTX file format is a great choice for creating professional-looking presentations. It’s a reliable, cross-platform solution that makes it easy to share presentations with others.
