Aspose.Page for Java – Create PS Examples

Example-AddPagePS1.java

// Add page to PS document.
// Learn more: https://docs.aspose.com/page/java/ps/working-with-pages/

String outputFileName = "document1_out.ps";

//Create save options with A4 size
PsSaveOptions options = new PsSaveOptions();
options.setDebug(true);

// Create new 2-paged PS Document
PsDocument document = new PsDocument(getOutputDir() + outputFileName, options, 2);

//Add the first page
document.openPage(null);

//Add content

//Close the first page
document.closePage();

//Add the second page with different size
document.openPage(400, 700);

//Add content

//Close the second page
document.closePage();

//Save the document
document.save();

Example-AddPagePS2.java

// Another way to add page to PS document.
// Learn more: https://docs.aspose.com/page/java/ps/working-with-pages/

String outputFileName = "document2_out.ps";

//Create save options with A4 size
PsSaveOptions options = new PsSaveOptions();

//Set variable that indicates if resulting PostScript document will be multipaged
boolean multiPaged = true;

// Create new multipaged PS Document with one page opened
PsDocument document = new PsDocument(getOutputDir() + outputFileName, options, multiPaged);

//Add content

//Close the first page
document.closePage();

//Add the second page with different size
document.openPage(500, 300);

//Add content

//Close the second page
document.closePage();

//Save the document
document.save();

Example-CreatePSDocumentMultipaged.java

// Create new multipaged PS document from scratch.
// Learn more: https://docs.aspose.com/page/java/ps/working-with-document/

String outputFileName = "document_out.ps";

//Create save options
PsSaveOptions options = new PsSaveOptions();
//If you want to aassign page size other than A4, set page size in options
options.setPageSize(PageConstants.getSize(PageConstants.SIZE_A4, PageConstants.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT));
//If you want to aassign page margins other empty, set page margins in options
options.setMargins(PageConstants.getMargins(PageConstants.MARGINS_ZERO));
//If you plan to use fonts that located in non system folders, set additional fonts folders in options
options.setAdditionalFontsFolders(new String[] { getDataDir() });

//Set variable that indicates if resulting PostScript document will be multipaged
boolean multiPaged = false;

// Create new multipaged PS Document with one page opened
PsDocument document = new PsDocument(getOutputDir() + outputFileName, options, multiPaged);

//Close current page
document.closePage();
//Save the document
document.save();

Example-CreatePSDocumentNumberOfPages.java

// Create new PS document with defined number of pages.
// Learn more: https://docs.aspose.com/page/java/ps/working-with-document/

String outputFileName = "document_out.ps";

//Create save options
PsSaveOptions options = new PsSaveOptions();
//If you want to aassign page size other than A4, set page size in options
options.setPageSize(PageConstants.getSize(PageConstants.SIZE_A4, PageConstants.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT));
//If you want to aassign page margins other empty, set page margins in options
options.setMargins(PageConstants.getMargins(PageConstants.MARGINS_ZERO));
//If you plan to use fonts that located in non system folders, set additional fonts folders in options
options.setAdditionalFontsFolders(new String[] { getDataDir() });

// Create new multipaged PS Document with 2 pages. These two pages are not created. It must be added by OpenPage() method.
PsDocument document = new PsDocument(getOutputDir() + outputFileName, options, 2);

//Add the first page
document.openPage(null);
//Close current page
document.closePage();
//Save the document
document.save();
