Hyperlink to absolute file path doesn't work for PowerPoint 2007

Aspose.Slides Product Family

Hello,


using Aspose.Slides for .NET Version 14.2.0 creating a Hyperlink on a Shape to an absolute file path produces an unrecoverable error when opening with PowerPoint 2007. Opening the same document in PowerPoint 2013 works as expected.

I’ve attached an example document.

Thanks.

Hello,


we dont use any templates. The following code snipped produces the attached output, whick wont open in PowerPoint 2007.

var pptx = new Presentation();
var shape = pptx.Slides[0].Shapes.AddAutoShape(ShapeType.Rectangle, 0, 0, 200, 250);
shape.HyperlinkClick = new Hyperlink(@“C:\test.pdf”);
pptx.Save(Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop), “Output.pptx”), SaveFormat.Pptx);

Hello.


I have to reopen this issue. Using version 14.6.0 there is still an issue if the path to the file contains spaces.
Here a short snippet.

shape.HyperlinkClick = new Hyperlink(@“C:\Path with space\Fails in PPT 2007.pdf”);

The saved PPTX won’t open in PowerPoint 2007 complaining about invalid content. PowerPoint 2013 will open correctly.

I’ve attached an example.

Best regards.
