Protect PPT Presentations with Python

Build Python applications that encrypt presentations or set write protection with Aspose.Slides.

Protect a PPT Presentation with Python

Aspose.Slides for Python via .NET provides two distinct protection mechanisms. Call ProtectionManager.encrypt to encrypt a PPT presentation and require a password to open it. Alternatively, call ProtectionManager.set_write_protection to discourage modification without encrypting the file. A user can still open a write-protected presentation and save changes to a different file.

Encrypt a PPT Presentation - Python

with slides.Presentation("presentation.ppt") as presentation:
    presentation.protection_manager.encrypt("123123")
    presentation.save("encrypted-presentation.ppt", slides.export.SaveFormat.PPT)

Set Write Protection on a PPT Presentation - Python

with slides.Presentation("presentation.ppt") as presentation:
    presentation.protection_manager.set_write_protection("123123")
    presentation.save("write-protected-presentation.ppt", slides.export.SaveFormat.PPT)

How to Protect PPT with Python

Follow these steps to protect a PPT file.

  1. Open the PPT file with Presentation.

  2. Use ProtectionManager.encrypt to require a password for opening, or use ProtectionManager.set_write_protection to discourage changes.

  3. Save the protected presentation as PPT with SaveFormat.PPT.

Other Supported Protection Formats

Use Python to protect other supported presentation formats.
