Convert OXPS to PDF Programmatically in Java
OXPS is a fixed layout format that can be used for creating letters, memos, and other official documents. Moreover, OXPS to PDF conversion is quite similar with above use case. So far we have learned how to convert all pages in the input file to PDF. Let us proceed another step further where we will be converting specific pages of OXPS file to PDF document. You can easily convert OXPS file to PDF in your Java applications. Below are the steps for converting OXPS to PDF document:
- Load input OXPS document
- Initialize PdfSaveOptions object with necessary parameters
- Specify the page numbers with setPageNumbers method
- Create rendering device for PDF format
- Save output PDF file
The code below explains how to convert OXPS to PDF programmatically in Java:
As we have discussed above, this code will convert specific pages to PDF. The output PDF file will comprise of first and third page from the input OXPS file.
Conclusion
