.NET API to Convert PCL to POTX
- Open PCL file using Document class
- Convert PCL to PPTX by using Save method
- Load PPTX file by using Presentation class
- Save the document to POTX format using
Save
method and set
Potxas 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.pcl");
// save PCL 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.Potx
presentation.Save("output.potx", SaveFormat.Potx);
Get XMP Metadata from PCL File via .NET
While converting PCL to POTX, 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 PCL file’s XMP metadata. To get a PCL file’s metadata, you can create a Document object and open the input PCL file. After that, you can get the file’s metadata using the Metadata property.
Document doc = new Document("input.pcl");
// get PCL XMP properties
Console.WriteLine(doc.Metadata["xmp:CreateDate"]);
Console.WriteLine(doc.Metadata["xmp:Nickname"]);
Console.WriteLine(doc.Metadata["xmp:CustomProperty"]);
Create Read Only POTX 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 POTX file to Read-Only, which means users (after they open the presentation) see the Read-Only recommendation.
Presentation presentation = new Presentation("PptxOutput.pptx");
// make POTX read only
presentation.ProtectionManager.ReadOnlyRecommended = true;
// call save method while passing SaveFormat.Potx
presentation.Save("output.potx", SaveFormat.Potx);
