Render MD to PPT within C++ Applications

Convert MD to PPT within your C++ Applications without using Microsoft^® PowerPoint

Are you a C++ developer looking to add to integrate MD to PPT conversion feature inside your C++ applications? You can do it in two simple steps. You can export MD to PPTX by using Aspose.PDF for C++ . Secondly, by using Aspose.Slides for C++ , you can convert PPTX to PPT. Both APIs come under Aspose.Total for C++ package.

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 Ppt as 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);

Markdown is a lightweight and easy-to-use syntax for styling all forms of writing on the GitHub platform. From your READMEs and in-line comments to documentation for your repositories and blog posts, Markdown is designed to make writing on the web easy to read, easy to write, and still look great.In addition to the basics of Markdown, you can also include images, links, and code blocks in your documents. You can even use a subset of HTML in your Markdown documents if you need more control over the display of your content.Markdown is not a replacement for HTML, nor is it a replacement for a rich text editor. It is simply a way to make writing on the web more accessible and easy to read.

What is PPT File Format

Microsoft PowerPoint 97-2003 PPT format is a binary file format used to store presentations in Microsoft PowerPoint 97-2003 and earlier versions. PowerPoint 97-2003 PPT format is based on the OLE Compound File Binary Format. A PowerPoint 97-2003 PPT file consists of a series of records stored in a linear sequence. Each record has a header that specifies the record type and length, followed by the data for the record. The PowerPoint 97-2003 PPT format supports a variety of different record types, including Slide records, which store the data for a single slide in a presentation, Document records, which store the overall presentation data, and Style records, which store formatting information for the presentation. The PowerPoint 97-2003 PPT format is not compatible with the newer PowerPoint 2007 PPTX format. To convert a PowerPoint 97-2003 PPT file to the newer PPTX format, you must first open the file in PowerPoint 97-2003 and then save it as a PowerPoint 2007 PPTX file.
