Render PCL to XAML via .NET
.NET API to Export PCL to XAML on Windows, macOS, and Linux without using Microsoft® PowerPoint
Aspose.Total for .NET is a powerful package of File Format Automation APIs that makes it easy to Render PCL to XAML in two simple steps. The first step is to use the PDF Processing API, Aspose.PDF for .NET, to transform the PCL file format to PPTX. The second step is to use the Presentation Processing API, Aspose.Slides for .NET, to convert the PPTX to XAML.
The PDF Processing API, Aspose.PDF for .NET, is a comprehensive library of tools that enables developers to create, edit, and convert PDF documents. It provides a wide range of features such as creating, editing, and converting PDF documents, extracting text and images from PDFs, and adding annotations and watermarks. It also supports the conversion of PCL files to PPTX.
The Presentation Processing API, Aspose.Slides for .NET, is a comprehensive library of tools that enables developers to create, edit, and convert presentation documents. It provides a wide range of features such as creating, editing, and converting presentation documents, extracting text and images from presentations, and adding annotations and watermarks. It also supports the conversion of PPTX to XAML.
Using Aspose.Total for .NET, developers can easily Render PCL to XAML in two simple steps. The PDF Processing API, Aspose.PDF for .NET, is used to convert PCL files to PPTX, and the Presentation Processing API, Aspose.Slides for .NET, is used to convert PPTX to XAML. This makes it easy for developers to quickly and easily convert PCL files to XAML.
.NET API to Convert PCL to XAML
- 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 XAML format using
Save
method and set
Xamlas 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.Xaml
presentation.Save("output.xaml", SaveFormat.Xaml);
Get XMP Metadata from PCL File via .NET
While converting PCL to XAML, 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 XAML 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 XAML file to Read-Only, which means users (after they open the presentation) see the Read-Only recommendation.
Presentation presentation = new Presentation("PptxOutput.pptx");
// make XAML read only
presentation.ProtectionManager.ReadOnlyRecommended = true;
// call save method while passing SaveFormat.Xaml
presentation.Save("output.xaml", SaveFormat.Xaml);
