## Convert PPTM to FODP in Python

[**Aspose.Slides for Python via Java**](/slides/python-java/) can load a macro-enabled PowerPoint presentation (`.pptm`) and save it as a flat OpenDocument presentation (`.fodp`). Unlike an ODP package, an FODP file stores the presentation in a single XML document. The FODP output does not retain the PPTM file's VBA project, and the conversion does not require Microsoft PowerPoint.

## Convert PPTM to FODP using Python

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

### Python code for converting PPTM to FODP

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

## How to convert PPTM to FODP in Python

Follow these steps to save a PowerPoint PPTM presentation as a single-file FODP document.

Install [**Aspose.Slides for Python via Java**](https://docs.aspose.com/slides/python-java/installation/).

Configure the package and start the Java Virtual Machine in your application.

Open the source PPTM file with `Presentation`.

Call `save` with `SaveFormat.Fodp` and an `.fodp` output path.
