Appending PPT slides to PPTX slides generates error

Aspose.Slides Product Family

Hi,

I try to add the slides form a ppt file (ppt.ppt) to a pptx file (pptx.pptx) and the application throws ArgumentNullException.
The code to reproduce the issue is:

var presentationEx = new PresentationEx(“C:\PPTX.pptx”);
var presentation = new PresentationEx(“C:\PPT.ppt”);
foreach (SlideEx slide in presentation.Slides)
{
presentationEx.Slides.AddClone(slide);
}
presentationEx.Save(“C:\PPTX11.pptx”, Aspose.Slides.Export.SaveFormat.Pptx);

Hi Mihai Andrei,


I have verified the attached presentations using Aspose.Slides for .NET 14.2.0 on my end and have found issue resolved. Please try using the attached version on your end to serve the purpose. I also like to share further that Aspose.Slides for .NET 14.2.0 is new API that unified both PPT and PPTX namespaces in single API. The code base is little changed in new API and you can please refer to online documentation for further reference in this regard.

public static void clonePPT_PPTX()
{
String path = @“c:\Presentations”;
var presentationEx = new Presentation(path + “PPTX.pptx”);
var presentation = new Presentation(path + “PPT.ppt”);
foreach (Slide slide in presentation.Slides)
{
presentationEx.Slides.AddClone(slide);
}
presentationEx.Save(path + “PPTX11.pptx”, Aspose.Slides.Export.SaveFormat.Pptx);
}

Many Thanks,
