Hi,

I’m using Slides for C++.
When I’m trying to decrypt a ppt file, it failed with System ArgumentOutOfRangeException index
I used this two methods:
ProtectionManager.RemoveEncryption and ProtectionManager.RemoveWriteProtection

Test file: http://dl.05nx.com/aspose.test.ppt.error.7z

Thanks.

This source was shared many times here.
Could you please try it again?

I already tried other source I can access, but only this works.
There are no more other source can be accessed from China.

Unfortunately, the link does not work on my end. Please try to use Upload button on our post form. upload.png (20.2 KB)

If your file is large, please try splitting it.

Unfortunately I don’t know the password to split it.
And this forum can not upload files splited by 7z or rar.

PS: What error did you get from this link?

@kngstr,
This presentation was encrypted by password to open. Therefore, you have to know this password to load the presentation first:

auto loadOptions = System::MakeObject<LoadOptions>();
loadOptions->set_Password(u"my_password");
    
auto presentation = System::MakeObject<Presentation>(u"test.pptx", loadOptions);

Then you can be able to remove passwords to open and write protection.

Documents: Password Protected Presentation
API Reference: LoadOptions Class

It was encrypted by password to edit, not password to open.
It did can be decrypted with Slides for C++ SDK.
If I copy one page to a new file, it works fine.
But if I try to deal the 3 and 6 page, it failed with System::ArgumentOutOfRangeException::index.

@kngstr,
I am sorry for my mistake. I reproduced the problem with removing write protection and added a ticket with ID SLIDESCPP-3258 in our issue tracking system. Our development team will investigate this case. You will be notified when the issue is resolved.
