Convert Word to XPS, XML, RTF, TXT and SVG

The following are the main steps to convert Word to XPS, XML, RTF, TXT and SVG.

• Create a Document object.
• Load the document using Document.loadFromFile() method.
• Use Document.saveToFile() method to save the document as SVG, RTF, XPS, XML and TXT respectively.

import com.spire.doc.Document;
import com.spire.doc.FileFormat;
import com.spire.doc.documents.ImageType;

import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;

public class ConvertWordToOtherFormats {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {

        //Create a Document object.
        Document doc = new Document();

        //Load the Word document.
        doc.loadFromFile("C:\\Users\\Administrator\\Desktop\\sample.docx");

        //Save Word as SVG.
        doc.saveToFile("output/ToSVG.svg",FileFormat.SVG);

        //Save Word as RTF.
        doc.saveToFile("output/ToRTF.rtf",FileFormat.Rtf);

        //Save Word as XPS.
        doc.saveToFile("output/ToXPS.xps",FileFormat.XPS);

        //Save Word as XML.
        doc.saveToFile("output/ToXML.xml",FileFormat.Xml);

        //Save Word as TXT.
        doc.saveToFile("output/ToTXT.txt",FileFormat.Txt);
    }
}

The original Word file:

PDF Annotations are additional objects added to a PDF document. Sometimes you may need to extract these additional data from the PDF file so as to learn about the annotation details without opening the document. In this article, we will describe how to get the annotations from PDF in Java using Spire.PDF for Java.

Install Spire.PDF for Java

First of all, you need to add the Spire.PDF.jar file as a dependency in your Java program. The JAR file can be downloaded from this link. If you use Maven, you can easily import the JAR file by adding the following code to your project's pom.xml file.

Get Annotations from a PDF File

Spire.PDF for Java offers PdfPageBase.getAnnotationsWidget() method to get the annotation collection of the specified page of the document.

The following are the steps to get all the annotations from the first page of PDF file:

• Create an object of PdfDocument class.
• Load a sample PDF document using PdfDocument.loadFromFile() method.
• Create a StringBuilder object.
• Get the annotation collection of the first page of the document by using PdfPageBase.getAnnotationsWidget() method.
• Loop through the pop-up annotations, after extract data from each annotation using PdfAnnotation.getText()method, then append the data to the StringBuilder instance using StringBuilder.append() method.
• Write the extracted data to a txt document using Writer.write() method.

import com.spire.pdf.*;
import com.spire.pdf.annotations.*;

import java.io.FileWriter;

public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        //Create an object of PdfDocument class.
        PdfDocument pdf = new PdfDocument();
        //Load the sample PDF document
        pdf.loadFromFile("Annotations.pdf");

        //Get the annotation collection of the first page of the document.
        PdfAnnotationCollection annotations = pdf.getPages().get(0).getAnnotationsWidget();

        //Create a StringBuilder object
        StringBuilder content = new StringBuilder();

        //Traverse all the annotations
        for (int i = 0; i < annotations.getCount(); i++) {

            //If it is the pop-up annotations, continue
              if (annotations.get(i) instanceof PdfPopupAnnotationWidget)
              continue;
              
                //Get the annotations’ author
                content.append("Annotation Author: " + annotations.get(i).getAuthor()+"\n");

                //Get the annotations’ text
                content.append("Annotation Text: " + annotations.get(i).getText()+"\n");

                //Get the annotations’ modified date
                String modifiedDate = annotations.get(i).getModifiedDate().toString();
                content.append("Annotation ModifiedDate: " + modifiedDate+"\n");

                //Get the annotations’ name
                content.append("Annotation Name: " + annotations.get(i).getName()+"\n");

                //Get the annotations’ location
                content.append ("Annotation Location: " + annotations.get(i).getLocation()+"\n");
                }
        
        //Write to a .txt file
        FileWriter fw = new FileWriter("GetAnnotations.txt");
        fw.write(content.toString());
        fw.flush();
        fw.close();
        }
    }
