A New and Upgraded API

We have introduced an upgraded API in Aspose.Slides for C++ 24.4 that will allow a gradual reduction of System::Drawing dependencies. The updates added to the API will help C++ developers working on macOS systems to streamline their app development workflows with ease. The following new additions are available in this release of the C++ API:

• IImage: A class that represents raster or vector images.
• ImageFormat: A class that defines the file format of an image.
• Images: A static class with methods for creating instances of IImage.

Compress Presentations with ZIP64 on macOS

Developers can compress PowerPoint presentations as ZIP64 files and better manage larger presentations in PowerPoint apps running on macOS machines. This C++ sample code showcases the usage of the new set_Zip64Mode() property added in this release for ZIP64 export.

System::SharedPtr<Presentation> pres = System::MakeObject<Presentation>(u"demo.pptx");
System::SharedPtr<PptxOptions> options = System::MakeObject<PptxOptions>();
options->set_Zip64Mode(Aspose::Slides::Export::Zip64Mode::Always);
pres->Save(u"demo-zip64.pptx", Aspose::Slides::Export::SaveFormat::Pptx, options);

Detection of Password Protected Macros

This update of the C++ presentation API enables users to easily detect presentations containing password-protected macros on macOS system.

Rasterize Bold Text to Bitmap

Version 24.4 of the C++ API allows the rasterization of bold text as a bitmap and exporting it to PDF documents with the set_RasterizeUnsupportedFontStyles property. The following code snippet demonstrates the method usage:

System::SharedPtr<Presentation> pres = System::MakeObject<Presentation>();
System::SharedPtr<PdfOptions> options = System::MakeObject<PdfOptions>();
options->set_RasterizeUnsupportedFontStyles(true);
pres->Save(u"pres.pdf", Aspose::Slides::Export::SaveFormat::Pdf, options);
