Content Difference after Saving PowerPoint Presentation to PPTX in Java (3004)

Aspose.Slides Product Family
1

Hello,

I am writing to you about the problem we encountered in working with MSO PowerPoint document using the Aspose Slides for Java library (v21.10). We are using Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and OpenJDK 11.0.13.

There is a difference in content when presetting values and saving presentation. Assert statement can prove the visual difference.

In the attachment below, you can find the ZIP file with test code, source PPTX file as well as screenshot of presentations (before and after).

Best regards!
Aleksandar

@zpredojevic,
Our developers have investigated the case. As we noted earlier, SmartArt is a complex object, not just Paragraphs and Portions. If you want to change the text, please use the following code snippet:

Presentation presentation = new Presentation("presentation.pptx");
ISmartArt shape = (SmartArt) presentation.getSlides().get_Item(0).getShapes().get_Item(0);

ISmartArtNode sixthNode = shape.getAllNodes().get_Item(5);

// Get text
String portionText = sixthNode.getTextFrame().getText();

// Set text
sixthNode.getTextFrame().setText(portionText);

presentation.save("output.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx);
