Change Named Value in XMP using Java

In the realm of document manipulation, Aspose.Page for Java stands out as a powerful tool, enabling developers to seamlessly work with XMP metadata in EPS files. This step-by-step guide will walk you through the process of changing a named value in XMP using Aspose.Page for Java. Before we delve into the details, let’s set the stage with an introduction.

Introduction

Aspose.Page for Java is a robust Java library that facilitates the manipulation and processing of EPS files. When it comes to handling XMP metadata within these files, Aspose.Page empowers developers with a comprehensive set of features. In this tutorial, we will focus on changing a named value in XMP, offering a clear and concise guide for developers looking to enhance their document processing capabilities.

Prerequisites

Before diving into the tutorial, ensure you have the following prerequisites in place:

  1. Java Development Environment: Make sure you have a Java development environment set up on your machine.
  2. Aspose.Page for Java Library: Download and integrate the Aspose.Page for Java library into your project. You can find the library and detailed documentation here.
  3. Sample EPS File: Have a sample EPS file ready for experimentation. If you don’t have one, you can use the provided example file named “xmp4.eps.”

Import Packages

To kick off the process, import the necessary packages in your Java code. These packages are essential for interacting with Aspose.Page for Java. Include the following lines at the beginning of your Java file:

import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import com.aspose.eps.PsDocument;
import com.aspose.eps.xmp.XmpMetadata;
import com.aspose.eps.xmp.XmpValue;
import com.aspose.page.BaseExamplesTest;
import com.aspose.page.License;

Now, let’s break down the process of changing a named value in XMP using Aspose.Page for Java into multiple steps:

Step 1: Initialize Input EPS File Stream

// The path to the documents directory.
String dataDir = "Your Document Directory";
        
// Initialize input EPS file stream
FileInputStream psStream = new FileInputStream(dataDir + "xmp4.eps");

Step 2: Initialize PsDocument

PsDocument document = new PsDocument(psStream);

Step 3: Get XMP Metadata

// Get XMP metadata. If EPS file doesn't contain XMP metadata, we get a new one filled with values from PS metadata comments (%%Creator, %%CreateDate, %%Title, etc.)
XmpMetadata xmp = document.getXmpMetadata();

Step 4: Set New Value in XMP

// Set new string value "Inches" for named value "stDim:unit" of structure "xmpTPg:MaxPageSize" 
xmp.setNamedValue("xmpTPg:MaxPageSize", "stDim:unit", new XmpValue("Inches"));

Step 5: Initialize Output EPS File Stream

// Initialize output EPS file stream
FileOutputStream outPsStream = new FileOutputStream(dataDir + "xmp4_changed.eps");

Step 6: Save Document with Changed XMP Metadata

// Save document with changed XMP metadata
try {			
    document.save(outPsStream);
} finally {
    outPsStream.close();
}

Step 7: Close Input EPS Stream

// Close input EPS stream
psStream.close();

This step-by-step guide ensures a systematic approach to changing a named value in XMP using Aspose.Page for Java. By following these steps, you can seamlessly integrate this functionality into your Java applications.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Aspose.Page for Java simplifies the process of working with XMP metadata in EPS files. This tutorial has equipped you with the knowledge to efficiently change a named value in XMP, enhancing your document processing capabilities.
