Get image from Tableau and embed in PPT

We are trying to create a PPT using Aspose Slides by getting images created by Tableau using tabcmd, picking up the images from a URL, and putting them into PPT as embedded images. The images should not have a link to any URL in the PPT.


The issue we are running into is that the images created are linked to a URL and requires the user to authenticate with Tableau every time they open the PPT, and this isn’t acceptable. Has anyone else been able to accomplish what we are trying to do. Thanks in advance!

Hi Patrick,

Thanks for inquiring Aspose.Slides.

I have observed the issue stated by you and request you to please try using our latest product release, Aspose.Slides for .NET/Java 15.5.0 on your end first. Now, coming to issue of linked images in your presentation, I request you to please change the approach of adding them. When you are inserting the images from your web source inside the presentation, you need to access the image in a memory stream which will serve as local copy. After downloading the image in memory stream, you can then add the image inside slide as memory stream. I am hopeful this will resolve the issue on your end. If there is still an issue then please provide the working sample project that we may use on our end to reproduce the issue along with generated presentation.

Many Thanks,
