## Convert POTM to PDF in Python

Use [*Aspose.Slides for Python via .NET*](/slides/python-net/) to convert POTM files to PDF programmatically. Load a macro-enabled PowerPoint template with `Presentation`, then call `save` with `SaveFormat.PDF`.

Aspose.Slides performs the conversion without requiring Microsoft PowerPoint. You can evaluate POTM-to-PDF output with the free [online conversion app](https://products.aspose.app/slides/conversion). The same API supports many other presentation and export formats.

Install the package from [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/aspose-slides/) using `pip`:

### Console/Terminal

pip install aspose-slides
```
