Load personal storage PST or OST with options Leave feedback
On this page
GroupDocs.Conversion provides PersonalStorageLoadOptions to give you control over how the source personal storage (PST/OST) document will be processed. The following options could be set:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| isConvertOwned | Controls whether owned documents of the document container must be converted. |
| isConvertOwner | Controls whether the document container itself must be converted. If this property is true the document container will be the first converted document. |
| setDepth | Controls how many levels in depth to perform the conversion. |
| setFolder | A folder to be processed. Default is Inbox. |
The following code snippet shows how to get folders within the personal storage document:
Converter converter = new Converter("sample.pst");
IDocumentInfo documentInfo = converter.getDocumentInfo();
PersonalStorageDocumentInfo ostInfo = (PersonalStorageDocumentInfo) documentInfo;
System.out.print(ostInfo.getRootFolderName());
for (PersonalStorageFolderInfo folder : ostInfo.getFolders())
{
System.out.print(folder.getName());
}
The following code snippet shows how to convert each personal storage content to a different format based on the content type:
- JPG attachments will be converted to PNG
- DOCX attachments will be converted to PDF
- Emails and all other types will be converted to HTML
Converter converter = new Converter("sample.pst", (FileType fileType) -> {
if (fileType == EmailFileType.Ost)
{
PersonalStorageLoadOptions personalOpt = new PersonalStorageLoadOptions();
personalOpt.setFolder("Inbox");
return personalOpt;
}
if (fileType == EmailFileType.Msg)
{
EmailLoadOptions emailOpt = new EmailLoadOptions();
emailOpt.setConvertOwner(true);
emailOpt.setConvertOwned(true);
emailOpt.setDepth(2);
return emailOpt;
}
return null;
});
int index = 0;
converter.convert((FileType fileType) ->
{
String fileName = String.format("converted_%d.%s", index, fileType.getExtension());
try {
return new FileOutputStream(fileName);
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
throw new RuntimeException(e);
}
}, (String sourceFileName, FileType fileType) ->
{
if (fileType == ImageFileType.Jpg)
{
ImageConvertOptions imageOpt = new ImageConvertOptions();
imageOpt.setFormat(ImageFileType.Png);
}
if (fileType == WordProcessingFileType.Docx)
{
return new PdfConvertOptions();
}
return new WebConvertOptions();
});
