Render PCL to PPTM within C++ Applications
Convert PCL to PPTM within your C++ Applications without using Microsoft® PowerPoint
Why to Convert
Are you a C++ developer looking to add a PCL to PPTM conversion feature to your C++ applications? PCL (Printer Command Language) is a page description language used to control printing devices, while PPTM (PowerPoint Macro-Enabled Presentation) is a file format used to store presentations created in Microsoft PowerPoint. Converting PCL to PPTM allows you to view and edit the content of a PCL file in PowerPoint.
How Aspose.Total Helps for PCL to PPTM Conversion
Aspose.Total for C++ is a suite of APIs that provides developers with the tools they need to create, manipulate, and convert a variety of file formats. It includes two APIs that can be used to convert PCL to PPTM: Aspose.PDF for C++ and Aspose.Slides for C++.
Using Aspose.PDF for C++, you can export PCL to PPTX, a file format that is compatible with PowerPoint. Then, using Aspose.Slides for C++, you can convert the PPTX file to PPTM. Both APIs are included in the Aspose.Total for C++ package, so you can access them with a single license.
The process of converting PCL to PPTM is simple and straightforward. All you need to do is use the APIs provided by Aspose.Total for C++ to export PCL to PPTX and then convert the PPTX file to PPTM. With Aspose.Total for C++, you can quickly and easily add PCL to PPTM conversion to your C++ applications.
C++ API to Export PCL to PPTM
- 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 PPTM format using
Save
member function and set
Pptmas 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 Pptm format
prs->Save(u"output.pptm", Aspose::Slides::Export::SaveFormat::Pptm);
Change Password of PCL Document via C++
In the process of rendering PCL to PPTM, 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 PPTM File via C++
After converting PCL to PPTM, 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 PPTM file
// instantiate a Presentation object that represents a PPTM file
auto pres = System::MakeObject<Presentation>("output.pptm");
// 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.pptm", SaveFormat::Pptm);
