.NET API to Convert MD to PPT

Open MD file using Document class
Convert MD to PPTX by using Save method
Load PPTX file by using Presentation class
Save the document to PPT format using Save method and set Ppt as SaveFormat

Get Started with .NET File Format APIs

Install from command line as nuget install Aspose.Total or via Package Manager Console of Visual Studio with Install-Package Aspose.Total.

Alternatively, get the offline MSI installer or DLLs in a ZIP file from downloads .

Document document = new Document("input.md");
// save MD as a PPTX 
document.Save("PptxOutput.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx); 
// load PPTX with an instance of Presentation
Presentation presentation = new Presentation("PptxOutput.pptx");
// call save method while passing SaveFormat.Ppt
presentation.Save("output.ppt", SaveFormat.Ppt);   

Get XMP Metadata from MD File via .NET

While converting MD to PPT, you might need extra XMP metadata information to prioritize your batch conversion process. For example you can get and sort your conversion documents based on creation date and process the documents accordingly. Aspose.PDF for .NET allows you to access a MD file’s XMP metadata. To get a MD file’s metadata, you can create a Document object and open the input MD file. After that, you can get the file’s metadata using the Metadata property.

Document doc = new Document("input.md");
// get MD XMP properties
Console.WriteLine(doc.Metadata["xmp:CreateDate"]);
Console.WriteLine(doc.Metadata["xmp:Nickname"]);
Console.WriteLine(doc.Metadata["xmp:CustomProperty"]);

Create Read Only PPT File via .NET

By using Aspose.Slides for .NET API, you can further enhance the features of your conversion application. One of the feature can be to create your output file read only to increase security. The API allows you to set your PPT file to Read-Only, which means users (after they open the presentation) see the Read-Only recommendation.

Presentation presentation = new Presentation("PptxOutput.pptx");
// make PPT read only
presentation.ProtectionManager.ReadOnlyRecommended = true;
// call save method while passing SaveFormat.Ppt
presentation.Save("output.ppt", SaveFormat.Ppt);

What is MD File Format?

MD, or Markdown, is a lightweight markup language commonly used for formatting plain text documents. It was created by John Gruber in 2004 with the goal of allowing writers to focus on content without the distractions of complex formatting. Markdown uses simple and intuitive syntax that can be easily converted into HTML or other document formats.

In Markdown, you can apply formatting to text by using a combination of special characters and plain text. For example, you can use asterisks or underscores to create italic or bold text, hashtags to create headings, and hyphens or asterisks to create lists. Markdown also supports adding links, images, code snippets, and tables.

One of the advantages of Markdown is its readability in its raw form, as it closely resembles plain text. It can be written in any text editor and easily converted into HTML or other formats using various tools and converters. Markdown files have the .md or .markdown file extension.

Markdown is widely used for writing documentation, creating blog posts, and even in version control systems like Git. Its simplicity and versatility have made it a popular choice among writers, developers, and content creators for creating structured and well-formatted documents with minimal effort.

What is PPT File Format?

The PowerPoint file format, commonly known as PPT (PowerPoint Presentation), is a proprietary file format developed by Microsoft for creating and delivering presentations. PPT files are the standard file format used by Microsoft PowerPoint, the popular presentation software included in the Microsoft Office suite.

PPT files contain a combination of text, images, graphics, animations, and multimedia elements that are arranged in slides. Each slide represents a separate screen or page within the presentation and can include various content such as titles, bullet points, charts, tables, and media files like images, audio, and video.

The format of a PPT file is binary, meaning it stores data in a binary format that is optimized for efficient storage and processing by the PowerPoint application. PPT files also support a range of features and formatting options, including slide transitions, animations, speaker notes, and embedded objects.

In addition to being editable within Microsoft PowerPoint, PPT files can also be viewed and presented using the PowerPoint software or compatible applications on different platforms, including Windows, macOS, and mobile devices. They can be shared via email, transferred through portable storage devices, or uploaded to cloud storage platforms for easy collaboration and distribution.

While Microsoft PowerPoint is the primary software used to create and modify PPT files, there are alternative presentation software applications that can open and work with PPT files, such as LibreOffice Impress and Google Slides. However, it’s important to note that there may be some compatibility limitations or variations in feature support when using non-Microsoft software.
