View and Modify PPT Metadata with Python

Aspose.Slides for Python via .NET lets you read and update built-in metadata and add, update, or remove custom document properties in PPT presentations. Access an IDocumentProperties object through Presentation.document_properties, modify it, and save the presentation in PPT format.

Update Built-in PPT Properties - Python

with slides.Presentation("presentation.ppt") as presentation:
    document_properties = presentation.document_properties
    document_properties.author = "Aspose.Slides for Python"
    document_properties.title = "Quarterly Review"
    document_properties.subject = "Presentation Metadata"
    document_properties.comments = "Built-in properties updated with Aspose.Slides."
    document_properties.manager = "Project Manager"

    presentation.save("presentation_with_updated_metadata.ppt", slides.export.SaveFormat.PPT)

Add and Remove Custom PPT Properties - Python

with slides.Presentation("presentation.ppt") as presentation:
    document_properties = presentation.document_properties
    document_properties.set_custom_property_value("Department", "Engineering")
    document_properties.set_custom_property_value("Review Count", 3)
    document_properties.set_custom_property_value("Obsolete Status", "Draft")
    document_properties.remove_custom_property("Obsolete Status")

    presentation.save("presentation_with_custom_metadata.ppt", slides.export.SaveFormat.PPT)
