Hello, when I try to convert macro file for format potm/pptm/ppsm to pdf, it throws PptxReadException at new Presentation before save to pdf. Could you tell me why it cannot read correctly with macro in file for v21.8? How to avoid this problem if not upgrade the slide jar? thanks a lot!

Here is details :

OS: win 10
JVM: jre1.8.0_251，64-Bit
Java: version 1.8
sdk: aspose.slides-21.8

code sample:

File file = new File(fileDir);
if (file.isDirectory()) {
    File[] files = file.listFiles();
    for (File f : files) {
        String name = f.getName();
        System.out.println("file name: " + name);
        pres = new Presentation(fileDir + name);
        String saveName = outDir + name + ".pdf";
        long beforSave = System.currentTimeMillis();
        pres.save(saveName, SaveFormat.Pdf);
        System.out.println("ppt to pdf save cost total:"+(System.currentTimeMillis()-beforSave)+"ms");
        System.out.println("Document converted to pdf successfully. File saved at " + saveName);
    }
    System.out.printf("%s%10d%s", "time seconds: ", System.currentTimeMillis() - stMill, " ms ");
}

@cocozhao,
Thank you for contacting support.

Unfortunately, I found no way to avoid that exception using Aspose.Slides for Java 21.8, but the error does not appear using version 23.5. We recommend you use the latest version of Aspose.Slides for Java. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Could you identify whether it is a bug for v21.8 or the sample files have something wrong?

4

@cocozhao,
The files are opened in PowerPoint correctly. So there was a bug in version 21.8 that prevented loading the files with Aspose.Slides.

Could you confirm the root cause? it is important for me, thanks a lot
