Aspose.Slides for Python via .NET 24.4 brings various new presentation processing capabilities to Linux developers.

Work with a Modern API

You can now work with a modernized API with less dependency on different aspose.pydrawing classes. We have added new classes and enums to the updated API, such as IImage, ImageFormat, and Images, which offer enhanced image manipulation capabilities.

ZIP64 Support For Your Presentations

This version of the PowerPoint API allows saving presentation files exceeding 4GB in ZIP64 format using the newly introduced PptxOptions.zip64_mode property on Linux machines. This Python coding sample demonstrates how to apply ZIP64 compression using the new property.

import aspose.slides as slides

with slides.Presentation("demo.pptx") as pres:
    pptx_options = slides.export.PptxOptions()
    pptx_options.zip_64_mode = slides.export.Zip64Mode.ALWAYS
    pres.save("demo-zip64.pptx", slides.export.SaveFormat.PPTX, pptx_options)

Export Presentations to Video

Build feature-rich conversion applications targeting the Linux platform in Python by integrating the ability to convert presentations to video with animations and transitions included using the new PresentationEnumerableFramesGenerator class and the enumerate_frames method of this class. Please check out the following sample code to learn more about this feature.

import aspose.slides as slides

fps = 30

with slides.Presentation("animated.pptx") as presentation:
    with slides.export.PresentationEnumerableFramesGenerator(presentation, fps) as frames_generator:
        for frame_args in frames_generator.enumerate_frames(presentation.slides):
            frame_args.get_frame().save("frame_{}.png".format(frame_args.frames_generator.frame_index))

Optimized PDF Export

Version 24.4 of the Python library supports rasterizing the fonts with bold styling and exporting them to PDFs with high fidelity using the PdfOptions.rasterize_unsupported_font_styles property, as demonstrated in the following sample code.

import aspose.slides as slides

with slides.Presentation() as pres:
    pdf_options = slides.export.PdfOptions()
    pdf_options.rasterize_unsupported_font_styles = True
    pres.save("pres.pdf", slides.export.SaveFormat.PDF, pdf_options)
