Edit PPT properties using Java

Build Java applications that modify built-in and custom properties in presentation files using server-side APIs.

Modify PPT Properties via Java

Using Aspose.Slides for Java , developers can access and modify built-in and custom presentation properties. Use the getDocumentProperties method on a Presentation object to access the IDocumentProperties object for the presentation file.

Modify PPT Built-in Properties - JavaPresentation presentation = new Presentation("Presentation.ppt");
try {
    IDocumentProperties documentProperties = presentation.getDocumentProperties();

    documentProperties.setAuthor("Aspose.Slides for Java");
    documentProperties.setTitle("Modifying Presentation Properties");
    documentProperties.setSubject("Aspose Subject");
    documentProperties.setComments("Aspose Description");
    documentProperties.setManager("Aspose Manager");

    presentation.save("DocProps.ppt", SaveFormat.Ppt);
} finally {
    presentation.dispose();
}

Add Custom Properties to PPT - JavaPresentation presentation = new Presentation();
try {
    IDocumentProperties documentProperties = presentation.getDocumentProperties();

    documentProperties.set_Item("New Custom", 12);
    documentProperties.set_Item("My Name", "Aspose Metadata Editor");
    documentProperties.set_Item("Custom", 124);

    String customPropertyName = documentProperties.getCustomPropertyName(2);
    documentProperties.removeCustomProperty(customPropertyName);

    presentation.save("CustomDemo.ppt", SaveFormat.Ppt);
} finally {
    presentation.dispose();
}

How to Extract Metadata of PPT via Java

These are the steps to extract metadata from PPT files.

Load the PPT file with the Presentation class.
Call the getDocumentProperties method to get the IDocumentProperties object.
Read or update built-in properties such as Author, Title, Subject, and Comments.
Access and modify custom properties with set_Item, getCustomPropertyName, and removeCustomProperty.

Other Supported Metadata Formats

Using Java, you can also manipulate metadata in many other formats.
