Convert POTM to SVG in PHP

Aspose.Slides for PHP via Java can load a macro-enabled PowerPoint POTM template and export each slide as an SVG image without Microsoft PowerPoint.

Call writeAsSvg for each slide and write the result to a separate output stream. SVG files contain rendered slide content and do not retain the VBA project from the source template.

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

Console/Terminal

> composer require aspose/slides
