File size decreases after adding custom property in ppt file

Aspose.Slides Product Family

I’m trying to add a custom property in ppt file using Aspose.Slides.dll (.NET).
Following is the code snippet for the same.

Aspose.Slides.LoadFormat lLoadFormat = Aspose.Slides.LoadFormat.Ppt;
Aspose.Slides.Export.SaveFormat lSaveFormat = Aspose.Slides.Export.SaveFormat.Pptx;

Aspose.Slides.LoadOptions lLoadOptions = new Aspose.Slides.LoadOptions(lLoadFormat);
lLoadOptions.OnlyLoadDocumentProperties = false;

Aspose.Slides.Presentation lSlidesDoc = new Aspose.Slides.Presentation(pstrFilePath, lLoadOptions);

lSlidesDoc.DocumentProperties[“SampleProperty1”] = “Value1”;
lSlidesDoc.DocumentProperties[“SampleProperty2”] = “Value2”;

lSlidesDoc.Save(pstrFilePath + “OUT.ppt”, lSaveFormat);

The issue is that the file size decreases after the process completes.
For the attached sample files:
The input file is - Original sample file.ppt Size is 43KB
The output file is - Original sample file.pptOUT.ppt Size is 10KB

Can someone please explain why there is decrease in the file size after processing.

@Adnan.Ahmad,

I tried using the latest 18.7 Aspose.Slides for .NET and this time the size of the output file increased.Sample Files - Copy.zip (47.8 KB)

Previously, I used Aspose.Slides for .NET v15.2
Please let me know, what kind of environment details you require me to share.

@AbhishekMaurya,

I have observed your comments. I like to inform that during the serialization Slides updates the internal PowerPoint PPT file structures. If the original file was not generated via Slides, the size will be increased because of this. Properties changing is not the reason why file size increased. This is the Slides specific.
