Merge PPTM to POT in Python

Aspose.Slides for Python via .NET lets you combine PPTM presentations by cloning slides from a source presentation into a destination presentation. The SlideCollection.add_clone method copies each slide and its associated layout and master data as needed, preserving the source slide’s appearance. After adding the slides, use Presentation.save with SaveFormat.POT to create a single POT file.

Merge PPTM files to POT using Python

Open the destination and source PPTM files, clone each source slide into the destination presentation, and then save the result in POT format.

            destination_presentation.slides.add_clone(source_slide)

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