Merge POT in Python

Aspose.Slides for Python via .NET lets you merge POT presentation files by cloning slides from one Presentation into another. SlideCollection.add_clone copies each source slide into the destination presentation, including its content and formatting.

Merge POT Files Using Python

Open the destination and source POT files, append a clone of each source slide, and save the combined presentation as a POT file.

            destination_presentation.slides.add_clone(slide)

    destination_presentation.save("merged.pot", slides.export.SaveFormat.POT)
