Get XMP Metadata from PS File via .NET
While converting PS to PPS, 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 PS file’s XMP metadata. To get a PS file’s metadata, you can create a Document object and open the input PS file. After that, you can get the file’s metadata using the Metadata property.
Document document = new Document("Decrypt.ps", "password"); | |
document.Decrypt(); | |
document.Save("Decrypt_out.doc"); |
Create Read Only PPS 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 PPS file to Read-Only, which means users (after they open the presentation) see the Read-Only recommendation.
Presentation presentation = new Presentation("PptxOutput.pptx");
// make PPS read only
presentation.ProtectionManager.ReadOnlyRecommended = true;
// call save method while passing SaveFormat.Pps
presentation.Save("output.pps", SaveFormat.Pps);
Transforming PS File to PPS Programmatically : Use Cases
PS (Portable Document Format) files are used to store static graphics information, making them ideal for creating layouts and designs. However, when working with dynamic data, presentations like PowerPoint become essential for visualization and analysis.
The conversion of PS files into PPS (PowerPoint Presentation) formats is necessary to unlock the full potential of your presentation capabilities. This conversion enables you to:
Use Cases:
- Presentation Design: Convert PS files to create engaging presentations, adding animations, transitions, and multimedia elements.
- Training and Education Materials: Use PPS to develop interactive training sessions, simulations, and tutorials for stakeholders, enhancing knowledge retention and engagement.
- Business Proposals and Presentations: Convert PS files to create persuasive proposals and presentations that showcase products, services, or ideas, facilitating better communication with clients or investors.
- Marketing Campaign Materials: Use PPS to develop marketing materials like brochures, flyers, and posters, promoting products or services through visually appealing content.
- Data Visualization and Storytelling: Convert PS files to create interactive stories, data visualizations, and reports that help convey complex information in an engaging way.
