Create New PowerPoint Presentation. Python PPTX, PPT, or ODP

In the example given below, we have added a line to the first slide of the presentation.

            
import aspose.slides as slides

# Instantiate a Presentation object that represents a presentation file
with slides.Presentation() as presentation:
    slide = presentation.slides[0]
    slide.shapes.add_auto_shape(slides.ShapeType.LINE, 50, 150, 300, 0)
    presentation.save("NewPresentation_out.pptx", slides.export.SaveFormat.PPTX)
            
        

Merge Presentations: Python PPTX, PPT, or ODP

This Python code shows you how to merge presentations:

            
import aspose.slides as slides

with slides.Presentation("Presentation1.pptx") as pres1:
    with slides.Presentation("Presentation2.pptx") as pres2:
        for slide in pres2.slides:
            pres1.slides.add_clone(slide)
        pres1.save("combined.pptx", slides.export.SaveFormat.PPTX)
            
        

Import Presentation From PDF: Python PPTX, PPT, or ODP

This Python code demonstrates the PDF to PowerPoint conversion process:

            
import aspose.slides as slides

with slides.Presentation() as pres:
    pres.slides.remove_at(0)
    pres.slides.add_from_pdf("welcome-to-powerpoint.pdf")
    pres.save("OutputPresentation.pptx", slides.export.SaveFormat.PPTX)
            
        

Convert PowerPoint to PDF with Default Options: Python PPTX, PPT, or ODP to PDF

This python code shows you how to convert a PowerPoint PPT, PPTX, and OpenOffice ODP document to a PDF document using the default options. The resulting file is a PDF document at the maximum quality levels

            
import aspose.slides as slides

# Instantiate a Presentation object that represents a PPT file
presentation = slides.Presentation("PowerPoint.ppt")

# Save the presentation as PDF
presentation.save("PPT-to-PDF.pdf", slides.export.SaveFormat.PDF)
            
        

Convert PowerPoint to JPG: Python PPTX, PPT, or ODP to JPEG

The following example shows you how to convert a PowerPoint PPT, PPTX, and OpenOffice ODP document into a set of JPEG images.

            
import aspose.slides as slides
import aspose.pydrawing as drawing

pres = slides.Presentation("pres.pptx")

for sld in pres.slides:
    bmp = sld.get_thumbnail(1, 1)
    bmp.save("Slide_{num}.jpg".format(num=str(sld.slide_number)), drawing.imaging.ImageFormat.jpeg)
