Public API Changes

Extended Enum: SourceFormat

The SourceFormat enumeration has been extended and now contains the following values:

Format	Description
PPT	Microsoft PowerPoint 97-2003 Presentation (*.ppt).
PPTX	Microsoft Office Open XML Presentation (*.pptx).
ODP	OpenDocument Presentation (*.odp).
PPTM	Microsoft Office Open XML Macro-enabled Presentation (*.pptm).
PPSX	Microsoft Office Open XML SlideShow (*.ppsx).
PPSM	Microsoft Office Open XML Macro-enabled SlideShow (*.ppsm).
POTX	Microsoft Office Open XML Template (*.potx).
POTM	Microsoft Office Open XML Macro-enabled Template (*.potm).
PPS	Microsoft PowerPoint 97-2003 SlideShow (*.pps).
POT	Microsoft PowerPoint 97-2003 Template (*.pot).
OTP	OpenDocument Presentation Template (*.otp).
FODP	Flat XML ODF Presentation (*.fodp).
XML	PowerPoint XML Presentation (*.xml).

Note: The .ppt, .pps, and .pot file types use the same binary PowerPoint file format. They differ only in file extension, which indicates the intended document usage (presentation, slideshow, or template). The internal file structure is identical for all three formats.

Added New Method: SlideUtil.to_save_format

The new to_save_format method has been added to the SlideUtil class. It converts a source file format to the corresponding SaveFormat value.

Usage Example

The following code shows how to modify a presentation and save it to a stream in its original format:

import io
import aspose.slides as slides

with slides.Presentation("SomePresentation.pptm") as pres:
    pres.slides.add_clone(pres.slides[0])
    with io.BytesIO() as stream:
        pres.save(stream, slides.util.SlideUtil.to_save_format(pres.source_format))
