Render MD to PPT within C++ Applications
Convert MD to PPT within your C++ Applications without using Microsoft® PowerPoint
Why to Convert MD to PPT?
Markdown (MD) is a lightweight markup language used for formatting text documents. It is widely used for creating web content, such as blog posts, articles, and documentation. On the other hand, PowerPoint (PPT) is a popular presentation format used for creating slideshows. It is used for creating professional-looking presentations for business, educational, and other purposes. Therefore, it is often necessary to convert MD to PPT in order to create a professional-looking presentation.
How Aspose.Total Helps for MD to PPT Conversion?
Aspose.Total for C++ 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. With Aspose.Total for C++, developers can easily integrate MD to PPT conversion feature inside their C++ applications.
The process of converting MD to PPT involves two steps. First, developers can export MD to PPTX by using Aspose.PDF for C++. Secondly, by using Aspose.Slides for C++, developers can convert PPTX to PPT. Both APIs come under Aspose.Total for C++ package.
Aspose.PDF for C++ is a powerful PDF manipulation API that enables developers to create, read, edit, and convert PDF documents. It supports a wide range of features, such as text extraction, document splitting, page manipulation, and more. Aspose.Slides for C++ is a powerful presentation API that enables developers to create, read, edit, and convert presentations. It supports a wide range of features, such as text formatting, slide manipulation, animation, and more.

It 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. With Aspose.Total for C++, developers can easily export MD to PPTX and then convert PPTX to PPT.
C++ API to Export MD to PPT
- 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 PPT format using
Save
member function and set
Pptas 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 Ppt format
prs->Save(u"output.ppt", Aspose::Slides::Export::SaveFormat::Ppt);
Change Password of MD Document via C++
In the process of rendering MD to PPT, 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 PPT File via C++
After converting MD to PPT, 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 PPT file
// instantiate a Presentation object that represents a PPT file
auto pres = System::MakeObject<Presentation>("output.ppt");
// 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.ppt", SaveFormat::Ppt);
