Convert POTM to PPTX in PHP

Aspose.Slides for PHP via Java can load a macro-enabled PowerPoint POTM template and save it as an editable, macro-free PPTX presentation without Microsoft PowerPoint.

Call save with SaveFormat::Pptx to create the PPTX file. PPTX cannot store VBA projects, so the VBA project from the source POTM template is not retained.

You can install the library from Composer using the following command:

Console/Terminal

> composer require aspose/slides
