Render PCL to PPSM within C++ Applications
Convert PCL to PPSM within your C++ Applications without using Microsoft® PowerPoint
Why to Convert
As a C++ developer, you may need to integrate PCL to PPSM conversion feature inside your C++ applications. PCL (Printer Command Language) is a page description language used to control printing devices. It is a language that is used to control the printing devices. PPSM (PowerPoint Show) is a file format used by Microsoft PowerPoint to store presentations. It is a file format used to store presentations that can be opened and edited with Microsoft PowerPoint.
How Aspose.Total helps for PCL to PPSM Conversion
You can easily export PCL to PPTX by using Aspose.PDF for C++ . Aspose.PDF for C++ is a powerful PDF manipulation API that enables developers to create, edit, convert, and print PDF documents from within their own applications. It also allows developers to export PCL to PPTX.
Secondly, by using Aspose.Slides for C++ , you can convert PPTX to PPSM. Aspose.Slides for C++ is a powerful presentation manipulation API that enables developers to create, edit, convert, and print presentations from within their own applications. It also allows developers to convert PPTX to PPSM.
Both APIs come under Aspose.Total for C++ package. Aspose.Total for C++ is a suite of APIs that enables developers to create, edit, convert, and print documents from within their own applications. It includes all the APIs of Aspose.PDF for C++ and Aspose.Slides for C++, which makes it easier for developers to export PCL to PPTX and convert PPTX to PPSM.
C++ API to Export PCL to PPSM
- 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 PPSM format using
Save
member function and set
Ppsmas 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 Ppsm format
prs->Save(u"output.ppsm", Aspose::Slides::Export::SaveFormat::Ppsm);
Change Password of PCL Document via C++
In the process of rendering PCL to PPSM, 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 PPSM File via C++
After converting PCL to PPSM, 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 PPSM file
// instantiate a Presentation object that represents a PPSM file
auto pres = System::MakeObject<Presentation>("output.ppsm");
// 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.ppsm", SaveFormat::Ppsm);
