Render PCL to POT within C++ Applications
Convert PCL to POT within your C++ Applications without using Microsoft® PowerPoint
Why to Convert
As a C++ developer, you may need to integrate PCL to POT conversion feature inside your C++ applications. PCL (Printer Command Language) is a page description language used to control printing devices, while POT (PowerPoint Template) is a file format used to store PowerPoint template. Converting PCL to POT is necessary to make the content of PCL file compatible with PowerPoint.
How Aspose.Total helps for PCL to POT Conversion
Aspose.Total for C++ is a comprehensive package of APIs that enables developers to create, manipulate, convert and render a wide range of file formats. It includes Aspose.PDF for C++ and Aspose.Slides for C++, which can be used to export PCL to PPTX and convert PPTX to POT respectively.
To export PCL to PPTX, you can use Aspose.PDF for C++. It provides a set of features to manipulate PDF documents, such as create, edit, convert, sign, print, and secure PDF files. It also supports the conversion of PCL to PPTX.
Once you have exported PCL to PPTX, you can use Aspose.Slides for C++ to convert PPTX to POT. It is a powerful API that enables developers to create, manipulate, and convert presentations in various formats. It supports the conversion of PPTX to POT, which can be used to create PowerPoint templates.
Therefore, Aspose.Total for C++ is the perfect solution for C++ developers who need to integrate PCL to POT conversion feature inside their applications. It provides two APIs, Aspose.PDF for C++ and Aspose.Slides for C++, which can be used to export PCL to PPTX and convert PPTX to POT respectively.
C++ API to Export PCL to POT
- Open PCL file using Document class reference
- Convert PCL to PPTX by using Save method function
- Load PPTX document by using Presentation class reference
- Save the document to POT format using
Save
member function and set
Potas 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 PCL file with an instance of Document class
auto doc = MakeObject<Document>(u"template.pcl");
// save PCL 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 Pot format
prs->Save(u"output.pot", Aspose::Slides::Export::SaveFormat::Pot);
Change Password of PCL Document via C++
In the process of rendering PCL to POT, you can open a password protected PCL and also change its password. In order to change the password of a PCL 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 PCL Document
auto doc = MakeObject<Document>(L"input.pcl", L"owner");
// change password of PCL Document
doc->ChangePasswords(L"owner", L"newuser", L"newuser");
// save the document
doc->Save(L"output.Doc");
Add Images From Web in POT File via C++
After converting PCL to POT, 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 POT file
// instantiate a Presentation object that represents a POT file
auto pres = System::MakeObject<Presentation>("output.pot");
// 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.pot", SaveFormat::Pot);
