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 is not suitable for presentations. To make presentations, the Portable Presentation Slide Markup (PPSM) format is used. Therefore, it is necessary to convert PDF documents to PPSM format for presentations.
How Aspose.Total Helps for PS to PPSM Conversion
Aspose.Total for Android via Java is a comprehensive suite of APIs that enables developers to create, manipulate, and convert various file formats. It includes APIs for PDF, Slides, and other file formats. Using Aspose.Total for Android via Java, developers can easily integrate the feature of converting PDF documents to PPSM format inside their Android applications.
The process of converting PDF documents to PPSM format involves two steps. In the first step, the PDF document is exported to PPTX format using Aspose.PDF for Android via Java. After that, Aspose.Slides for Android via Java is used to convert the PPTX document to PPSM format. Both APIs come under the Aspose.Total for Android via Java package.
Therefore, developers can use Aspose.Total for Android via Java to integrate the feature of converting PDF documents to PPSM format inside their Android applications. This feature can be used to create presentations from PDF documents.
Android API to Export PS to PPSM
- Open PS file using Document class
- Convert PS to PPTX by using save method
- Load PPTX document by using Presentation class
- Save the document to PPSM format using
save
method and set
Ppsm
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 PS file with an instance of Document class
Document document = new Document("template.ps");
// save PS 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 PS File in Android Apps
While loading PS 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 PS document
Document doc = new Document("input.ps", "Your@Password");
// save PS as PPTX format
document.save("PptxOutput.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx);
Create Thumbnail Image of PPSM File in Android Applications
After converting PS 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"));
