Aspose.Slides for .NET is a cross-platform API that helps in developing applications with the ability to create, manipulate, inspect, or convert Microsoft PowerPoint and OpenOffice presentation files without any dependency.

Presentation Processing Features

• Intuitive Document Object Model: Aspose.Slides' object model gives complete control over presentation elements such as slides, shapes, frames, charts, multimedia, embedded objects, controls, tables, text, transitions and formatting. Developers can use this object model to create complex PowerPoint File Processing applications that can dynamically generate presentations, create or manipulate presentation slides, apply transitions or add animation effects.
• File Format Conversion: API allows to load & convert PowerPoint presentation, template & slideshow file formats to other supported formats without needing to understand the underlying structure of source or destination formats. The conversion process is simple yet reliable with results identical to the original file in its native application.
• Rendering & Printing: Developers can render the whole presentation or selective slides to fixed-layout formats such as PDF & XPS as well as raster & vector image formats including PNG, JPEG, SVG, and so on. It is also possible to print presentations via physical or virtual printers.
• Presentation Security: Load protected presentations or control access to presentations, slides, or objects via advanced security features.
• Availability of 24 pre-defined textures & 48 patterns for quick styling.

What's new in v22.4.0

Improved Presentation Compression

A new feature has been added to the API to further improve the compression of presentations. This feature has been implemented by introducing the following public methods:

• RemoveUnusedMasterSlides: compresses the presentation by removing the unused master slides.
• RemoveUnusedLayoutSlides: helps remove the unused layout slides to apply the compression to the presentation.

So you can easily compress your presentations via API by removing such master and layout slides which are now been used.

The following C# code sample demonstrates how to remove unused master slides from PPTX to compress a Microsoft PowerPoint® presentation:

using (Presentation pres = new Presentation("pres.pptx"))
{
    Aspose.Slides.LowCode.Compress.RemoveUnusedMasterSlides(pres);
    
    pres.Save("pres-out.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx);
}

The following C# code sample demonstrates how to remove unused layout slides from PPTX to create a compressed Microsoft PowerPoint® presentation:

using (Presentation pres = new Presentation("pres.pptx"))
{
    Aspose.Slides.LowCode.Compress.RemoveUnusedLayoutSlides(pres);
    
    pres.Save("pres-out.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx);
}

• Resolved the issue on Alpine Linux.

Create a PPTX Presentation from Scratch with C# Code

You can execute the below code snippet to see how Aspose.Slides API performs in your environment or check the GitHub Repository for other common usage scenarios.

// instantiate a Presentation object that represents a presentation file
using (Presentation presentation = new Presentation())
{
    // get the first slide
    ISlide slide = presentation.Slides[0];

    // add an autoshape of type line
    slide.Shapes.AddAutoShape(ShapeType.Line, 50, 150, 300, 0);
    presentation.Save(dir + "output.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx);
}

Convert Specific Slides to PDF Format using C# Code

// instantiate a Presentation object that represents a presentation file
using (Presentation presentation = new Presentation(dir + "template.pptx"))
{
    // setting array of slides positions
    int[] slides = { 1, 3 };
    // save the presentation to PDF
    presentation.Save(dir + "output.pdf", slides, SaveFormat.Pdf);
}
