Why to Convert
CGM (Computer Graphics Metafile) is a vector graphics format used for storing 2D and 3D drawings. It is widely used in engineering and technical applications. PPSX (PowerPoint Open XML Slide Show) is a presentation format used by Microsoft PowerPoint. It is used to store slides in a single file. Therefore, it is necessary to convert CGM to PPSX in order to use the drawings in a presentation.

- Convert CGM to PPTX by using save method
- Load PPTX document by using Presentation class
- Save the document to PPSX format using
save
method and set
Ppsx
as 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 Ppsx format
presentation.save("output.ppsx", SaveFormat.Ppsx);
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 PPSX File in Android Applications
After converting CGM to PPSX, 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 PPSX file
Presentation presentation = new Presentation("output.ppsx");
// 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"));
