Three slides per page
Four slides per page in a horizontal sequence
Four slides per page in a vertical sequence
Six slides per page in a horizontal sequence
Six slides per page in a vertical sequence
Nine slides per page in a horizontal sequence
Nine slides per page in a vertical sequence

Below is an example of rendering of a presentation in the Handout layout:

var imageio = java.import("javax.imageio.ImageIO");

var pres = new aspose.slides.Presentation("pres.pptx");

var options = new aspose.slides.RenderingOptions();
var handoutLayoutingOptions = new aspose.slides.HandoutLayoutingOptions();
handoutLayoutingOptions.setHandout(aspose.slides.HandoutType.Handouts4Horizontal);
handoutLayoutingOptions.setPrintSlideNumbers(false);
options.setSlidesLayoutOptions(handoutLayoutingOptions);

var size = java.newInstanceSync("java.awt.Dimension", 1024, 1080);
var bmp = pres.getThumbnails(options, size)[0];
var file = java.newInstanceSync("java.io.File", "pres-handout.png");
imageio.write(bmp, "PNG", file);

To export presentation in the Handout layout to PDF:

var pres = new aspose.slides.Presentation("pres.pptx");

var options = new aspose.slides.PdfOptions();
var handoutLayoutingOptions = new aspose.slides.HandoutLayoutingOptions();
handoutLayoutingOptions.setHandout(aspose.slides.HandoutType.Handouts4Horizontal);
options.setSlidesLayoutOptions(handoutLayoutingOptions);

pres.save("pres.pdf", aspose.slides.SaveFormat.Pdf, options);

NotesCommentsLayouting is obsolete for RenderingOptions, HtmlOtions, PdfOptions, TiffOptions

NotesCommentsLayouting property declared as obsolete for RenderingOptions, HtmlOtions, PdfOptions, TiffOptions. The property will be removed after the release of version 24.3.

Please use SlidesLayoutOptions property instead:

var pres = new aspose.slides.Presentation("pres.pptx");

var options = new aspose.slides.PdfOptions();
var notesCommentsLayoutingOptions = new aspose.slides.NotesCommentsLayoutingOptions();
notesCommentsLayoutingOptions.setNotesPosition(aspose.slides.NotesPositions.BottomTruncated);
options.setSlidesLayoutOptions(notesCommentsLayoutingOptions);

pres.save("pres.pdf", aspose.slides.SaveFormat.Pdf, options);

InkOptions class have been added

InkOptions and the corresponding IInkOptions interface have been added. It provides options that control the look of Ink objects in exported documents.

InkOptions.HideInk allows to show or hides Ink elements in exported document. InkOptions.InterpretMaskOpAsOpacity can be used to set ROP operation or Opacity for rendering brush. InkOptions.InterpretMaskOpAsOpacity indicates if it Uses ROP operation or Opacity for rendering brush.

Example:

var pres = new aspose.slides.Presentation("pres.pptx");

var options = new aspose.slides.PdfOptions();
options.getInkOptions().setHideInk(true);

pres.save("pres.pdf", aspose.slides.SaveFormat.Pdf, options);

IPictureFillFormat.DeletePictureCroppedAreas method have been added

IPictureFillFormat.DeletePictureCroppedAreas method allows the cropped areas of the fill Picture:

var presentation = new aspose.slides.Presentation("demo.pptx");

var slide = presentation.getSlides().get_Item(0);

// Gets the PictureFrame
var picFrame = slide.getShapes().get_Item(0);

// Deletes cropped areas of the PictureFrame image
var croppedImage = picFrame.getPictureFormat().deletePictureCroppedAreas();

presentation.save("output.pptx", aspose.slides.SaveFormat.Pptx);

This can help to reduce the size of the presentation.

Shape.IsDecorative property have been added

The new Shape.IsDecorative property allows to set if the shape is “decorative” (used for decorative purposes, for example, some stylistic objects).

var pres = new aspose.slides.Presentation("sample.pptx");
