## Convert PPSM to FODP in Python

[**Aspose.Slides for Python via Java**](/slides/python-java/) can load a macro-enabled PPSM slide show and export it as a Flat OpenDocument Presentation (FODP). The conversion preserves the presentation content in a flat XML-based format; macros are not retained in FODP. Microsoft PowerPoint, LibreOffice, and OpenOffice are not required.

## Convert PPSM to FODP using Python

Create a `Presentation` from the PPSM file, then call `save` with `SaveFormat.Fodp`.

### Python code for converting PPSM to FODP

```python
presentation = Presentation("presentation.ppsm")
try:
    presentation.save("presentation.fodp", SaveFormat.Fodp)
finally:
    presentation.dispose()
```

## How to convert PPSM to FODP in Python
