Converting PPT to PPTX documents needs repair

Aspose.Slides Product Family
1
UPDATE:
It looks like I'm using Aspose.Slides for .NET 16.1
PowerPoint comes with Office 2013

llg

Below is a simple program that coverts PPT slides to PPTX.

The pptxFROMppt.pptx file is generated. however when I attempt to view the [new] file, PowerPoint displays a dialog box indicating there a problem with the content of the file and it must be "repaired".

There's not much to this code so I thinking that I'm missing a call that "prepares" the PPT file prior to converting to a PPTX file.

Question: Am I missing an intermediate call?

Thanks!

PS - I'm new to Aspose.

CODE:

static void Main(string[] args)
{
string pptxDir = "C:\\TCH_SourceControl\\AsposeTest\\Data\\";
SaveFormat newFormat = SaveFormat.Pptx;

Aspose.Slides.License aLicense = new License();
aLicense.SetLicense ("Aspose.Slides.lic");

//reads a ppt formatted doc
Presentation pres = new Presentation(pptxDir + "Test.ppt");
//now save to PPTX format
pres.Save(pptxDir + "pptxFROMppt1.pptx", newFormat);
}

Hi Gary,


Thank you for your interest in Aspose.Slides.

I have observed your comments and like to share with you that there is not any intermediate call, you just need to load a presentation and then save it to any supported file format. I request you to please try using Aspose.Slides for .NET 16.2.0 on your end and then share your kind feedback with us. If the issue persists then please share the source file with us so that we may proceed further to help you out.

Best Regards,

Thank you for your response and assistance.



I am now using Aspose.Slides for .NET 16.2.0.



I am no longer seeing a PowerPoint dialogue box indicating that the content of the PPTX file needs repair.



Unfortunately, now when I attempt to view the [new] PPTX file, a PowerPoint dialogue box displays a message indicating that PowerPoint has stopped working.



I’ve attached a copy of the PPT file that I’m trying to covert to the PPTX format.



Thank you in advance.

Hi llg,

I have worked with the PPT shared by you using Aspose.Slides for .NET 16.2.0 on my end and have saved that as PPTX. I have then tried opening the generated presentation using PowerPoint 2010 on my end and there is no dialog box appearing that is suggesting PowerPoint has stopped working. For your kind reference, I have attached the generated presentation as well. If there is still an issue then please share the used sample code, your generated presentation and complete PowerPoint version number that is reproducing the issue on your end.

Many Thanks,

Thank you for your reply.

I did verify that the PPTX file that gets generated from my code does get rendered in Power Point 2010.

Unfortunately, the customer of my software uses Power Point 2013.

Does Aspose.Slides for .NET have a solution that works with Power Point 2013?

Code was provided in the first post of this thread.
PPTX file was attached in previous thread.

Thanks,

Hello Adnan,


Thank you for your assistance and your response.

So that I can status my management and the customer, will this issue (SLIDESNET-37297) be worked on immediately or is there an “issue priority queue” that causes some issues to be ignored for days or weeks?

On my side, there’s a push from management to deliver my software ASAP.

Thank you in advance,
