Render XSLFO to POTM within C++ Applications
Convert XSLFO to POTM within your C++ Applications without using Microsoft® PowerPoint
Why to Convert XSLFO to POTM
C++ developers often need to integrate XSLFO to POTM conversion feature inside their applications. XSLFO (XSL Formatting Objects) is a markup language for XML document formatting which is most commonly used to generate PDF documents. POTM (PowerPoint Open XML Macro-Enabled Presentation) is a file format used by Microsoft PowerPoint to save presentations that contain macros. Converting XSLFO to POTM allows C++ developers to create presentations with macros from XML documents.
How Aspose.Total Helps for XSLFO to POTM Conversion
Aspose.Total for C++ is a comprehensive 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 XSLFO to POTM: Aspose.PDF for C++ and Aspose.Slides for C++.
Aspose.PDF for C++ can be used to export XSLFO to PPTX, which is the native format of Microsoft PowerPoint. Aspose.Slides for C++ can then be used to convert the PPTX file to POTM. Both APIs are easy to use and provide a wide range of features that make it easy to create and manipulate documents.
In conclusion, Aspose.Total for C++ is an ideal solution for C++ developers who need to integrate XSLFO to POTM conversion feature inside their applications. It provides two APIs that can be used to easily and quickly convert XSLFO to POTM.
C++ API to Export XSLFO to POTM
- Open XSLFO file using Document class reference
- Convert XSLFO to PPTX by using Save method function
- Load PPTX document by using Presentation class reference
- Save the document to POTM format using
Save
member function and set
Potmas 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 XSLFO file with an instance of Document class
auto doc = MakeObject<Document>(u"template.xslfo");
// save XSLFO 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 Potm format
prs->Save(u"output.potm", Aspose::Slides::Export::SaveFormat::Potm);
Change Password of XSLFO Document via C++
In the process of rendering XSLFO to POTM, you can open a password protected XSLFO and also change its password. In order to change the password of a XSLFO 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 XSLFO Document
auto doc = MakeObject<Document>(L"input.xslfo", L"owner");
// change password of XSLFO Document
doc->ChangePasswords(L"owner", L"newuser", L"newuser");
// save the document
doc->Save(L"output.Doc");
Add Images From Web in POTM File via C++
After converting XSLFO to POTM, 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 POTM file
// instantiate a Presentation object that represents a POTM file
auto pres = System::MakeObject<Presentation>("output.potm");
// 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.potm", SaveFormat::Potm);
