Why to Convert
The Portable Document Format (PDF) is a widely used file format for documents. It is used to store documents in a format that is independent of the application software, hardware, and operating system. However, the PDF format does not support the features of other popular presentation formats such as PowerPoint (PPT) and PowerPoint Open XML (POTM). Therefore, it is necessary to convert PDF to POTM in order to use the features of POTM in presentations.

With Aspose.Total, developers can easily export PCL to PPTX and then convert PPTX to POTM.
Android API to Export PCL to POTM
- Open PCL file using Document class
- Convert PCL to PPTX by using save method
- Load PPTX document by using Presentation class
- Save the document to POTM format using
save
method and set
Potm
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 PCL file with an instance of Document class
Document document = new Document("template.pcl");
// save PCL 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 Potm format
presentation.save("output.potm", SaveFormat.Potm);
Open Password Protected PCL File in Android Apps
While loading PCL 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 PCL document
Document doc = new Document("input.pcl", "Your@Password");
// save PCL as PPTX format
document.save("PptxOutput.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx);
Create Thumbnail Image of POTM File in Android Applications
After converting PCL to POTM, 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 POTM file
Presentation presentation = new Presentation("output.potm");
// 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"));
