Java API to Export XPS to POTM
Export XPS to POTM via on premise Java API without using Microsoft® PowerPoint or Adobe® Acrobat Reader
Aspose.Total for Java is a comprehensive suite of components that enables developers to easily convert XPS to POTM within any Java J2SE, J2EE, or J2ME application. This suite of components provides a powerful set of tools to help developers quickly and easily create, manipulate, and convert documents in a variety of formats.
The process of converting XPS to POTM begins with Aspose.PDF for Java. This component enables developers to export XPS to PPTX, a PowerPoint presentation format. Once the XPS document has been converted to PPTX, Aspose.Slides for Java can be used to convert the PPTX to POTM. Aspose.Slides for Java is a PowerPoint Processing API that provides developers with a comprehensive set of features to manipulate PowerPoint presentations. This API enables developers to create, edit, and convert PowerPoint presentations with ease.
Aspose.Total for Java also provides a number of other components that can be used to manipulate documents in a variety of formats. These components include Aspose.Words for Java, Aspose.Cells for Java, Aspose.BarCode for Java, Aspose.Imaging for Java, and Aspose.Email for Java. With these components, developers can easily create, manipulate, and convert documents in a variety of formats.
Overall, Aspose.Total for Java is a comprehensive suite of components that enables developers to easily convert XPS to POTM within any Java J2SE, J2EE, or J2ME application. This suite of components provides a powerful set of tools to help developers quickly and easily create, manipulate, and convert documents in a variety of formats.

Java API to Convert XPS to POTM
- Open XPS file using Document class
- Convert XPS to PPTX by using save method
- Load PPTX document by using Presentation class
- Save the document to POTM format using
save
method and set
Potmas SaveFormat
Get Started with Java File Format APIs
You can easily use Aspose.Total for Java directly from a Maven based project and include Aspose.PDF for Java and Aspose.Slides for Java in your pom.xml.
Alternatively, you can get a ZIP file from downloads .
// load XPS file with an instance of Document class
Document document = new Document("template.xps");
// save XPS as PPTX format
document.save("PptxOutput.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx);
// instantiate a Presentation object that represents a PPTX file
Presentation presentation = new Presentation("PptxOutput.pptx");
// save the presentation as Potm format
presentation.save("output.potm", SaveFormat.Potm);
Open Encrypted XPS File via Java
While loading XPS file format, your document might be password protected. Aspose.PDF for Java allows you open encrypted documents as well. In order to open the encrypted file, you can initialize new instance of the Document class and pass filename and password as arguments.
// open XPS document
Document doc = new Document("input.xps", "Your@Password");
// save XPS as PPTX format
document.save("PptxOutput.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx);
Save POTM File with Predefined View Type via Java
After converting XPS to POTM, you can also add predefined view type for your presentation. Aspose.Slides for Java provides a facility to set the view type for the generated presentation when it is opened in PowerPoint through the ViewProperties class. The setLastView property is used to set the view type by using the ViewType enumerator.
// instantiate a Presentation object that represents a PPTX file
Presentation presentation = new Presentation("PptxOutput.pptx");
// set view type
presentation.getViewProperties().setLastView((byte) ViewType.SlideMasterView);
// save the presentation as Potm format
presentation.save("output.potm", SaveFormat.Potm);

What is XPS File Format?
XPS, short for XML Paper Specification, is a file format created by Microsoft to represent fixed-layout documents. XPS files contain the content and print settings of a document, making them suitable for preserving the layout and appearance of a document across different devices and platforms.
The XPS format is based on XML (eXtensible Markup Language), a widely used markup language for structured data representation. XPS files encapsulate document content, such as text, images, vector graphics, and annotations, in a structured XML format. This enables easy interpretation and rendering of the document’s visual elements.
XPS files are conceptually similar to PDF (Portable Document Format) files in that they both aim to provide a reliable way to present and share documents while preserving their formatting and layout. However, PDF files have gained broader support across different software applications and hardware devices, making them more widely accepted and compatible.
To view and work with XPS files, Microsoft provides an XPS Viewer as part of the Windows operating system. Various third-party applications and tools also offer support for opening, creating, and converting XPS files. However, compared to PDF, the range of software and hardware supporting the XPS format may be more limited.
What is POTM File Format?
POTM is a file format used in Microsoft PowerPoint to store presentation templates that also include macros. Similar to the POTX format, POTM files are part of the Office Open XML (OOXML) format introduced in PowerPoint 2007.
The “M” in POTM stands for macros, indicating that these templates can contain VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) code that automates tasks and enhances the functionality of the presentation. This allows users to create dynamic and interactive templates that go beyond static design elements.
POTM files offer the same benefits as POTX files in terms of providing pre-designed slide layouts, formatting, and styles. However, the inclusion of macros adds an extra layer of interactivity and automation to the templates. Macros can perform tasks such as data manipulation, calculations, slide transitions, and user interactions, making presentations more engaging and efficient.
To use a POTM file, users can open it in PowerPoint or select it as a template when creating a new presentation. The macros embedded in the POTM template can be executed and interacted with during the presentation, providing enhanced functionality beyond what is possible with a standard template.
It’s important to note that due to security concerns, some systems and organizations may have restrictions on running macros in PowerPoint presentations. In such cases, users may need to adjust their security settings or obtain necessary permissions to enable the execution of macros in POTM files.
POTM files are compatible with different versions of PowerPoint on various platforms, allowing users to create and share templates with macros across different devices and environments. They provide a powerful tool for creating interactive and automated presentations, offering greater flexibility and customization options for users.
