Convert CGM to PPSM on Android via Java
Transform CGM to PPSM within your Android Applications without using Microsoft® PowerPoint or Adobe® Acrobat Reader
Why to Convert CGM to PPSM
Computer Graphics Metafile (CGM) is a vector graphics format used to store and exchange graphics data. It is widely used in the engineering and technical drawing fields. However, it is not supported by many applications. Therefore, it is necessary to convert CGM to a more widely accepted format such as PPSM.
PPSM (PowerPoint Show) is a presentation format used by Microsoft PowerPoint. It is a binary file format that stores the presentation data in a single file. It is widely used for presentations and is supported by many applications.

After that, you can convert PPTX to PPSM by using Aspose.Slides for Android via Java. This API provides a wide range of features to manipulate PowerPoint presentations. It allows you to convert PPTX to PPSM with just a few lines of code.
Therefore, Aspose.Total for Android via Java makes it easy to integrate CGM to PPSM conversion feature inside your Android applications. It provides two APIs that allow you to export CGM to PPTX and convert PPTX to PPSM with just a few lines of code.
Android API to Export CGM to PPSM
- Open CGM file using Document class
- Convert CGM to PPTX by using save method
- Load PPTX document by using Presentation class
- Save the document to PPSM format using
save
method and set
Ppsmas SaveFormat
Get Started with Java File Format APIs
You can easily use Aspose.Total for Android via Java directly from Maven and install Aspose.PDF for Android via Java and Aspose.Slides for Android via Java in your applications.
Alternatively, you can get a ZIP file from downloads .
// load CGM file with an instance of Document class
Document document = new Document("template.cgm");
// save CGM as PPTX format
document.save("PptxOutput.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx);
// instantiate a Presentation object that represents a PPTX file
Presentation presentation = new Presentation("PptxOutput.pptx");
// save the presentation as Ppsm format
presentation.save("output.ppsm", SaveFormat.Ppsm);
Open Password Protected CGM File in Android Apps
While loading CGM file format, your document might be password protected. Aspose.PDF for Android via Java allows you open encrypted documents as well. In order to open the encrypted file, you can initialize new instance of the Document class and pass filename and password as arguments.
// open CGM document
Document doc = new Document("input.cgm", "Your@Password");
// save CGM as PPTX format
document.save("PptxOutput.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx);
Create Thumbnail Image of PPSM File in Android Applications
After converting CGM to PPSM, you can also create thumbnail images of your output document. By using rich in feature Aspose.Slides for Android via Java you can generate thumbnail images of the slides by creating and instance of the Presentation class. After that, you can obtain the reference of any desired slide by using its ID or index and get the thumbnail image of the referenced slide on a specified scale.
// instantiate a Presentation object that represents a PPSM file
Presentation presentation = new Presentation("output.ppsm");
// access the first slide
ISlide sld = pres.getSlides().get_Item(0);
// create a full scale image
BufferedImage image = sld.getThumbnail(1f, 1f);
// save the image to disk in PNG format
ImageIO.write(image, "PNG", new java.io.File("Thumbnail_out.png"));
