Hi,

I need to print PowerPoint presentation to PDF format. During printing I’ve noticed different between PowerPoint printing and Aspose conversion - Comments are not displayed. I will attach sample documents if figure out how to do this in new forum.

Thanks,
Alex

Hi Mudassir,

Finally I’ve figured out how to add file here. Please see attached
NotesAndComments_sampleFiles.zip (1.4 MB)

I do not use any specific code, just opening and saving to pdf:
Presentation presEx = new Presentation(inputFile);
presEx.Save(resultFilePath, Aspose.Slides.Export.SaveFormat.Pdf);

Thanks,
Alex

Hi Mudassir,

I’ve tried Aspose.Slides 17.8 and 17.9.1 but still do not see comments to be printed. Would you be so kind to check if SLIDESNET-39044 is really fixed?

Many thanks,
Alex

@licenses,

I like to mention that in order to export a PDF with comments you must use the PdfOptions.IncludeComments property, which is set to false by default. The property is available since Aspose.Slides .NET v17.6. Please use the following code snippet to get the desired result:

using (Presentation pres = new Presentation("Presentation.pptx"))
{
        //Instantiate the PdfOptions class
        PdfOptions pdfOptions = new PdfOptions();
 
        //Specify that the generated document should include comment pages
        pdfOptions.IncludeComments = true;
 
        //Save the presentation to PDF with specified options
        pres.Save("Presentation.pdf", SaveFormat.Pdf, pdfOptions);
}

Thanks for explanations. Now it works.
