## Convert PPTM to PDF in Python

[**Aspose.Slides for Python via Java**](/slides/python-java/) can convert a macro-enabled PowerPoint presentation (`.pptm`) to a PDF document without Microsoft PowerPoint. PDF output preserves the rendered appearance of supported slide content for consistent sharing, printing, and archiving. Because PDF is a fixed-layout document format, the output does not contain the source presentation's VBA project or interactive slide behavior.

For a standard conversion, load the PPTM file with `Presentation` and call `save` with `SaveFormat.Pdf`. You can also use `PdfOptions` when you need to control settings such as compliance, image quality, or hidden-slide handling.

## Convert PPTM to PDF using Python

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

### Python tutorial for converting PPTM into PDF

try:
    presentation.save("presentation.pdf", SaveFormat.Pdf)
