Aspose.Total for .NET is a powerful package of File Format Automation APIs that makes it easy to render XML to POT in two simple steps. The first step is to use the PDF Processing API, Aspose.PDF for .NET, to transform the XML file format to PPTX. This API provides a wide range of features such as the ability to create, edit, and convert PDF documents, as well as the ability to extract text, images, and other content from PDF documents.
The second step is to use the Presentation Processing API, Aspose.Slides for .NET, to convert the PPTX to POT. This API provides a comprehensive set of features for creating, editing, and converting presentations, as well as the ability to add, delete, and manipulate slides, shapes, text, and other elements. It also provides the ability to export presentations to various formats, including POT.
By using the powerful File Format Automation APIs provided by Aspose.Total for .NET, you can easily render XML to POT in two simple steps. The PDF Processing API provides the ability to convert XML to PPTX, and the Presentation Processing API provides the ability to convert PPTX to POT. With these APIs, you can quickly and easily transform XML files into POT format.
.NET API to Convert XML to POT
- Open XML file using Document class
- Convert XML to PPTX by using Save method
- Load PPTX file by using Presentation class
- Save the document to POT format using
Save
method and set
Pot
as SaveFormat
Conversion Requirements
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.xml");
// save XML 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.Pot
presentation.Save("output.pot", SaveFormat.Pot);
Get XMP Metadata from XML File via .NET
While converting XML to POT, 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 XML file’s XMP metadata. To get a XML file’s metadata, you can create a Document object and open the input XML file. After that, you can get the file’s metadata using the Metadata property.
Document doc = new Document("input.xml");
// get XML XMP properties
Console.WriteLine(doc.Metadata["xmp:CreateDate"]);
Console.WriteLine(doc.Metadata["xmp:Nickname"]);
Console.WriteLine(doc.Metadata["xmp:CustomProperty"]);
Create Read Only POT 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 POT file to Read-Only, which means users (after they open the presentation) see the Read-Only recommendation.
Presentation presentation = new Presentation("PptxOutput.pptx");
// make POT read only
presentation.ProtectionManager.ReadOnlyRecommended = true;
// call save method while passing SaveFormat.Pot
presentation.Save("output.pot", SaveFormat.Pot);
