Render MD to PPSX within C++ Applications
Convert MD to PPSX within your C++ Applications without using Microsoft® PowerPoint
Why to Convert MD to PPSX?
If you are a C++ developer looking to add a feature to your application that allows for the conversion of MD to PPSX, you are likely looking to do so for a few reasons. MD files are a type of Markdown file, which is a plain text formatting syntax used to create documents. PPSX files, on the other hand, are PowerPoint Slide Show files, which are used to create presentations. Converting MD to PPSX allows for the creation of presentations from Markdown documents.
How Aspose.Total Helps for MD to PPSX Conversion
Aspose.Total for C++ is a package of APIs that can be used to convert MD to PPSX. The package includes two APIs: Aspose.PDF for C++ and Aspose.Slides for C++. Aspose.PDF for C++ can be used to export MD to PPTX, and Aspose.Slides for C++ can be used to convert PPTX to PPSX. This two-step process allows for the conversion of MD to PPSX with ease. Aspose.Total for C++ also includes other APIs that can be used to create, edit, and convert other types of documents.
C++ API to Export MD to PPSX
- 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 PPSX format using
Save
member function and set
Ppsxas 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 Ppsx format
prs->Save(u"output.ppsx", Aspose::Slides::Export::SaveFormat::Ppsx);
Change Password of MD Document via C++
In the process of rendering MD to PPSX, 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 PPSX File via C++
After converting MD to PPSX, 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 PPSX file
// instantiate a Presentation object that represents a PPSX file
auto pres = System::MakeObject<Presentation>("output.ppsx");
// 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.ppsx", SaveFormat::Ppsx);
