Render MD to ODP within C++ Applications
Convert MD to ODP within your C++ Applications without using Microsoft® PowerPoint
Why to Convert MD to ODP
C++ developers often need to integrate MD to ODP conversion feature inside their applications. MD (Markdown) is a lightweight markup language with plain text formatting syntax. It is used for creating web content, and is popular among developers for its easy-to-read and write format. ODP (OpenDocument Presentation) is an open standard for electronic documents, such as presentations, spreadsheets, and word processing documents. It is used for creating presentations, and is popular among developers for its compatibility with multiple applications.
How Aspose.Total Helps for MD to ODP Conversion
Aspose.Total for C++ is a comprehensive package of APIs that enables developers to create, edit, and convert documents in various formats. It includes APIs for PDF, Slides, and other document formats. To convert MD to ODP, developers can use Aspose.PDF for C++ to export MD to PPTX, and then use Aspose.Slides for C++ to convert PPTX to ODP. Both APIs are included in the Aspose.Total for C++ package. The process is simple and straightforward, and can be completed in two steps.
C++ API to Export MD to ODP
- Open MD file using Document class reference
- Convert MD to PPTX by using Save method function
- Load PPTX document by using Presentation class reference
- Save the document to ODP format using
Save
member function and set
Odpas SaveFormat
Get Started with C++ File Automation APIs
Install from command line as nuget install Aspose.Total.Cpp or via Package Manager Console of Visual Studio with Install-Package Aspose.Total.Cpp.
Alternatively, get the offline MSI installer or DLLs in a ZIP file from downloads .
// load MD file with an instance of Document class
auto doc = MakeObject<Document>(u"template.md");
// save MD as PPTX format
doc->Save(u"PptxOutput.pptx", SaveFormat::Pptx);
// instantiate a Presentation object that represents a PPTX file
SharedPtr<Presentation> prs = MakeObject<Presentation>(u"PptxOutput.pptx");
// save the presentation as Odp format
prs->Save(u"output.odp", Aspose::Slides::Export::SaveFormat::Odp);
Change Password of MD Document via C++
In the process of rendering MD to ODP, you can open a password protected MD and also change its password. In order to change the password of a MD file, you must know the owner password of that document. You can load password protected PDF document with Aspose.PDF for C++ by specifying its owner password and use ChangePasswords method to change the password.
// load an existing MD Document
auto doc = MakeObject<Document>(L"input.md", L"owner");
// change password of MD Document
doc->ChangePasswords(L"owner", L"newuser", L"newuser");
// save the document
doc->Save(L"output.Doc");
Add Images From Web in ODP File via C++
After converting MD to ODP, you can also add images from web to your output document. Aspose.Slides for C++ supports operations with images in these popular formats: JPEG, PNG, BMP, GIF, and others. You can add one or several images on your computer onto a slide in a presentation. This sample code in C++ shows you how to add an image to a ODP file
// instantiate a Presentation object that represents a ODP file
auto pres = System::MakeObject<Presentation>("output.odp");
// get slide
auto slide = pres->get_Slides()->idx_get(0);
// initialize Web Client
auto webClient = System::MakeObject<WebClient>();
// get image data
auto imageData = webClient->DownloadData(System::MakeObject<Uri>(u"[REPLACE WITH URL]"));
// add image
auto image = pres->get_Images()->AddImage(imageData);
// add picture frame
slide->get_Shapes()->AddPictureFrame(ShapeType::Rectangle, 10.0f, 10.0f, 100.0f, 100.0f, image);
// save updated file
pres->Save(u"updated.odp", SaveFormat::Odp);
