Generate compelling presentations within your Python applications on Linux using the dynamic features of Aspose.Slides for Python via .NET 24.7. This update offers a range of valuable features and improvements to elevate your presentation development experience.

Conveniently Embed Files in Exported PDFs

Power up your Python presentations by integrating additional files into the PDFs during the export process using this release of the Python library for manipulating presentations. Here is how to use this feature in Python.

import aspose.slides as slides

with slides.Presentation("pres.pptx") as pres:
    options = slides.export.PdfOptions()
    options.include_ole_data = True
    pres.save("pres.pdf", slides.export.SaveFormat.PDF, options)

Security Boost on Linux

Cater to any security threats in advance by getting rid of the integrated VBA projects, OLE objects, or ActiveX controls when loading the presentations on Linux-powered machines, as illustrated in this code example.

import aspose.slides as slides

load_options = slides.LoadOptions()
load_options.delete_embedded_binary_objects = True

with slides.Presentation("malware.ppt", loadOptions) as pres:
   pres.save("clean.ppt", slides.export.SaveFormat.PPT)

Add Accurate Slide Numbers

Enhance Layout Slides with Placeholders

Inserting placeholder shapes into the layout slides was never easier! Add placeholders, such as charts, content, text, pictures, tables, and more to your layout slides. The following code example demonstrates the feature usage.

import aspose.slides as slides

with slides.Presentation() as pres:
    # Getting the Blank layout slide
    layout = pres.layout_slides.get_by_type(slides.SlideLayoutType.BLANK)

    # Getting the placeholder manager of the layout slide
    placeholder_manager = layout.placeholder_manager

    # Adding different placeholders to the Blank layout slide
    placeholder_manager.add_content_placeholder(10, 10, 300, 200)
    placeholder_manager.add_vertical_text_placeholder(350, 10, 200, 300)
    placeholder_manager.add_chart_placeholder(10, 350, 300, 300)
    placeholder_manager.add_table_placeholder(350, 350, 300, 200)

    # Adding the new slide with Blank layout
    new_slide = pres.slides.add_empty_slide(layout)
    pres.save("placeholders.pptx", slides.export.SaveFormat.PPTX)
