Create new Presentation and set Image as Background for Slide in Java

You may want to set an image background for your PowerPoint presentation for various reasons, such as:

• To make your slides more visually appealing and attractive. An image background can add color, texture, and style to your presentation, making it more engaging and memorable for your audience.
• To convey a message or emotion with your slides. An image background can help you communicate your main point or evoke a certain feeling with your slides, such as excitement, curiosity, or inspiration.
• To highlight or contrast your text and other elements on your slides. An image background can help you draw attention to the most important information or objects on your slides, such as titles, headings, bullet points, charts, graphs, etc.

Please use following code to add background to your presentation:

Presentation pres = new Presentation();
try {
    // Sets conditions for background image
    pres.getSlides().get_Item(0).getBackground().setType(BackgroundType.OwnBackground);
    pres.getSlides().get_Item(0).getBackground().getFillFormat().setFillType(FillType.Picture);
    pres.getSlides().get_Item(0).getBackground().getFillFormat().getPictureFillFormat()
            .setPictureFillMode(PictureFillMode.Stretch);
    
    // Loads the image
    IPPImage imgx = pres.getImages().addImage(Files.readAllBytes(Paths.get("image.jpg")));
    
    // Adds image to presentation's images collection
    pres.getSlides().get_Item(0).getBackground().getFillFormat().getPictureFillFormat().getPicture().setImage(imgx);
    
    // Writes the presentation to disk
    pres.save("ContentBG_Img.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx);
} catch (IOException e) {
} finally {
    if (pres != null) pres.dispose();
}

// Instantiates a Presentation class that represents a PowerPoint file
Presentation pres = new Presentation("PowerPoint.ppt");
try {
    // Saves the presentation as a PDF
    pres.save("PPT-to-PDF.pdf", SaveFormat.Pdf);
} finally {
    if (pres != null) pres.dispose();
}

Presentation pres = new Presentation();
try {
    pres.getSlides().addFromPdf("InputPDF.pdf");
    pres.save("OutputPresentation.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx);
} finally {
    if (pres != null) pres.dispose();
}

Presentation pres = new Presentation("PowerPoint-Presentation.pptx");
try {
    for (ISlide sld : pres.getSlides()) {
        // Creates a full scale image
        BufferedImage bmp = sld.getThumbnail(2f, 2f);

        // Saves the image to disk in JPEG format
        ImageIO.write(bmp, "JPEG", new java.io.File(String.format("Slide_%d.jpg", sld.getSlideNumber())));
    }
} catch (IOException e) {
} finally {
    if (pres != null) pres.dispose();
}
