Implement Custom Printing Logic & Enhanced Word Documents Printing

What's New in this Release?

Printing is a function that has been around in Aspose.Words for .NET for quite a while. We are proud to announce to that starting in Version 10.5, printing is also fully supported in Aspose.Words for Java. You can easily print all or only specified pages of a document with just a few lines of code.

The Aspose.Words for Java API provides the handy Document.Print method whose overloads allow you to print a document using various different options with just one line of code. You can choose to print using default settings, print to a specific printer by name and even printing options such as page range to print.

Pass Any Document Loaded into Aspose.Words to Standard Java Printing Devices

Aspose.Words provides the AsposeWordsPrintDocument class which allows any document loaded into Aspose.Words to be printed with the standard Java printing API. This class provides the “typical” one document page per physical page printing.

The AsposeWordsPrintDocument class implements the following print interfaces:

• Pageable
• Printable

This class can be passed directly to standard Java print classes such as PrinterJob using PrinterJob.setPageable or PrinterJob.setPrintable and allows you to easily print the document with dialogs such as the standard print dialog.

Previewing a Document before Printing

The standard Java API doesn’t provide any existing functions to print preview any Java on its own. With Aspose.Words, not only do we provide the facilities to print documents, we also provide sample code to preview documents before printing in the DocumentPreviewAndPrint sample. The preview provided by the print preview dialog is the same as what is expected when the document it printed to a real printer.

Print Multiple Document Pages onto a Single Sheet of Paper

You can utilize Aspose.Words for Java to fully customise how documents are printed. An example of this is printing multiple document pages onto a physical page by implementing your own print document class. Achieving this using Aspose.Words is a straight forward task. We have already provided the sample code ready for use in the MultiplePagesOnSheet sample.

Implementing Custom Printing Logic

Finally, it’s worth mentioning you can use the built-in methods in the Aspose.Words API to implement your own printing classes based on your own logic. Without going into too much detail, this is the basis of how the previous sample of printing multiple pages on one sheet is implemented. Using such methods as Document.renderToSize, Document.getPageInfo you can use Aspose.Words to integrate with Java’s printing framework, customize the print process to your liking and custom print documents loaded into Aspose.Words.

You can check out an example of this in action by taking a look at the code for the previous sample. The full code for this sample can be downloaded from here: Program.java: https://github.com/asposewords/Aspose_Words_Java/blob/master/MultiplePagesOnSheet/Java/Program.java

Newly added documentation pages and articles

Other useful features include document creation, content and formatting manipulation, mail merge abilities, reporting features, TOC updated/rebuilt, Embedded OOXML, Footnotes rendering and support of DOCX, DOC, WordprocessingML, HTML, XHTML, TXT and PDF formats (requires Aspose.Pdf).

Access & Read Embedded Email Attachments From Existing Email Message

This technical tip shows how to Read Embedded Email Attachments from Message. Sometimes, we get emails that have other emails embedded in them as an attachment. These embedded emails are complete messages having their own Recipients list, Subject, Body and Attachments. Furthermore, each of these messages can have embedded messages in them. Using Aspose.Email Java API, the developers can access each embedded message as an individual message. We will elaborate such example using recursive functionality.

Steps to Access Embedded Messages from an existing Email Message

Please perform the following sequence of steps:

• Create an instance of MailMessage class
• Load the existing Email Message using the load() method exposed by MailMessage class and by specifying the correct MessageFormat.
• Call Recursive method by passing the instance of MailMessage class as parameter.

1. Iterate over the attachment collection of MailMessage Instance.
2. Replace the invalid chars from Attachment name and restrict the name to 50 chars.
3. Save the attachment to disk using save() method exposed by Attachment class.
4. Create an instance of MailMessage class

5. Load the existing Email Message using the load() method exposed by MailMessage class and by specifying the correct MessageFormat.

6. Call Recursive method by passing the instance of MailMessage class as parameter.
7. Repeat 1 – 6.

Sample Code for Reading Embedded Email Attachments using Aspose.Email

[Java]

// Base folder to load and save files used in this demo
private static String strBaseFolder = "D:\\Data\\Aspose\\resources\\";

public static void main(String[] args)
{

try
{
System.out.print("Reading message with embedded messages....");

MailMessage message = MailMessage.load(strBaseFolder + "embedded.msg", MessageFormat.getMsg());

ParseMessage(message);

System.out.println("Success");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
System.out.println(ex.getMessage());
}
}

private static void ParseMessage(MailMessage message)
{
System.out.println("Subject: " + message.getSubject());
System.out.println("Extracting attachments....");
for (int i = 0; i < message.getAttachments().size(); i++)
{
Attachment att = (Attachment) message.getAttachments().get(i);
System.out.println("Attachment Name: " + att.getName());

// Get the name of attachment. If msg subject contains characters like :, /, \ etc., replace with space

// because windows cannot save files with these characters
// also save first 50 characters as file name to avoid long file names

String attFileName = att.getName().replace(".eml", "").replace(":", " ").replace("\\", " ").replace("/", " ").replace("?", "");

if (attFileName.length() > 50)
{
attFileName = attFileName.substring(0, 50);
}

String attExt = (att.getName().substring(att.getName().lastIndexOf("."), att.getName().lastIndexOf(".") + 4));

// Save the attachment to disk
att.save(strBaseFolder + attFileName + attExt);

// Check if it is an orphaned text attachment file (ATT00001.txt....) and of type eml

if ((attExt.equals(".eml")) || (att.getContentType().getMediaType().equals("text/plain") && att.getName().contains(".txt") == true && att.getName().contains("ATT") == true))

{
// Try to load this text file in MailMessage

MailMessage attMsg = MailMessage.load(strBaseFolder + attFileName + attExt, MessageFormat.getEml());

// Call the function recursively to parse this message and attachments
ParseMessage(attMsg);
}
}
}

Overview: Aspose.Email for Java

Aspose.Email for Java is a Non-Graphical Java component that enables Java applications to read and write MS Outlook MSG files from within a Java application without using MS Outlook. It enables developers to create new MSG file from scratch, update an existing MSG file, read Outlook MSG file & get its properties like subject, body, recipients in to, cc and bcc, adding or removing attachment, sender information & MAPI properties. Aspose.Email can be used with Web as well as Desktop Application.

Create/Edit PDF, DOC, XLS & PPT Files in ASP.NET MVC Using Aspose.Total

This tutorial explains how to incorporate file creation and manipulation features in ASP.NET MVC applications using Aspose.Total for .NET. ASP.NET MVC is used to build patterns-based web applications in an agile development environment, while Aspose.Total for .NET provides everything to plug-in the features to create and manipulate a variety of documents. Using our .NET product suite, you can add and edit PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, bar code, TIFF, and many other file formats in your applications.

This tutorial is based upon a sample MVC application called MvcMusicStore. We’ll build our demo upon this sample project and create bar codes, PDF, Word, Excel and PowerPoint files in the application. The sample project allows us to view details of an album from the music store. We’ll add a bar code along with each album using Aspose.BarCode for .NET. We’ll also convert the data from the album detail to the PDF, DOC, XLS, and PPT formats using Aspose.Pdf for .NET, Aspose.Words for .NET, Aspose.Cells for .NET and Aspose.Slides for .NET respectively.
