Render XML to PPS within C++ Applications
Convert XML to PPS within your C++ Applications without using Microsoft® PowerPoint
Why to Convert
As a C++ developer, you may need to integrate XML to PPS conversion feature inside your C++ applications. XML is a markup language that is used to store and transport data, while PPS is a Microsoft PowerPoint Show file format. Converting XML to PPS is a great way to make the data more accessible and easier to present.
How Aspose.Total Helps for XML to PPS Conversion
Aspose.Total for C++ is a comprehensive package of APIs that enables developers to create, manipulate, and convert documents, images, and other file formats. It includes two APIs, Aspose.PDF for C++ and Aspose.Slides for C++, which can be used to export XML to PPTX and convert PPTX to PPS, respectively.
Using Aspose.PDF for C++, you can export XML to PPTX in two simple steps. First, you need to load the XML file into the API. Then, you can save the file in the PPTX format. Aspose.Slides for C++ can then be used to convert the PPTX file to PPS. This API provides a wide range of features that can be used to manipulate the PPTX file before converting it to PPS.
Aspose.Total for C++ is a great way to add XML to PPS conversion feature to your C++ applications. It is easy to use and provides a wide range of features that can be used to manipulate the XML and PPTX files. With Aspose.Total for C++, you can quickly and easily export XML to PPS and make your data more accessible and easier to present.
C++ API to Export XML to PPS
- Open XML file using Document class reference
- Convert XML to PPTX by using Save method function
- Load PPTX document by using Presentation class reference
- Save the document to PPS format using
Save
member function and set
Ppsas 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 XML file with an instance of Document class
auto doc = MakeObject<Document>(u"template.xml");
// save XML 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 Pps format
prs->Save(u"output.pps", Aspose::Slides::Export::SaveFormat::Pps);
Change Password of XML Document via C++
In the process of rendering XML to PPS, you can open a password protected XML and also change its password. In order to change the password of a XML 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 XML Document
auto doc = MakeObject<Document>(L"input.xml", L"owner");
// change password of XML Document
doc->ChangePasswords(L"owner", L"newuser", L"newuser");
// save the document
doc->Save(L"output.Doc");
Add Images From Web in PPS File via C++
After converting XML to PPS, 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 PPS file
// instantiate a Presentation object that represents a PPS file
auto pres = System::MakeObject<Presentation>("output.pps");
// 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.pps", SaveFormat::Pps);
