PostScript XPS to PDF and Image C++

In my previous post, I have shown you how easy it is to create or edit PostScript (PS/EPS) and XPS documents programmatically using Aspose.Page for C++. In this article, I’ll demonstrate how to convert PS/EPS or XPS documents to PDF or raster image formats including PNG, JPEG, TIFF, and BMP using C++. The rest of the article is composed of the following sections:

Before we start, I assume that you have downloaded Aspose.Page for C++ and referenced it in your C++ project. However, if you haven’t, you can get it installed from NuGet or download the complete package along with a plug and play console application from the Downloads section.

Convert a PostScript PS/EPS to PDF in C++

The following are the steps to convert a PostScript PS/EPS document to PDF:

  • Create a FileStream object for the output PDF file.
  • Load the input PostScript document in a FileStream object.
  • Create and initialize the PsDocument object with the input stream.
  • Create and initialize the PdfDevice object with the output stream.
  • Process the document and save it as a PDF file using the PsDocument->Save method.

The following code sample shows how to convert a PostScript PS document to PDF in C++.

Convert a PostScript PS/EPS to Image in C++

The following are the steps to convert PS/EPS to an image format.

  • Create an object of ImageFormat to set the format of the output image, i.e. PNG.
  • Load the input PostScript document in a FileStream object.
  • Create and initialize the PsDocument object with the input stream.
  • Create an object of ImageDevice.
  • Process the document and save it as an image using the PsDocument->Save method.

The following code sample shows how to convert PostScript PS/EPS to image in C++.
