Hello Mohans,

Hi Alexey Zhilin

I have created the new presentation as x.pps and manually i can open that.

But what iam trying is...after creating the x.pps, i need to run (open) that x.pps files automatically through java code.

upto some extend iam successfully achieved with the following code.

But here iam using hardcoded values...whcih i don't want.

If you guys has any idea to do that, please help me in this

here is my code:

FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(inputFile);

Presentation srcPres = new Presentation(fis);

Presentation newPres = new Presentation();

Point size = new Point(5760,4320);

//newPres.setSlideSize(size);

System.out.println("SLIDE Size ==="+size);

int srcPresLastSlidePosition = srcPres.getSlides().getLastSlidePosition();

TreeMap map = new TreeMap();

for (int iSlidesCounter = 1; iSlidesCounter <= srcPresLastSlidePosition; iSlidesCounter++) {

com.aspose.slides.Slide srcSld = srcPres.getSlideByPosition( iSlidesCounter );

srcPres.cloneSlide(srcSld, newPres.getSlides().getLastSlidePosition()+1 , newPres, map);

}

newPres.getSlides().remove(newPres.getSlideByPosition(1));

FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(outputPath + "NewPresenation.pps");

newPres.write(fos);

fos.close();

Runtime run = Runtime.getRuntime();

String cmd[] = new String[2];

cmd[0] = "C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\OFFICE11\\PPTVIEW.EXE";

//TODO: iam worrying about the above line. how to refer the pptview.exe dynamically and pass to the run.exec(cmd)

cmd[1] = "D:\\output\\NewPresenation.pps"; // This line is fine i can the path dynamically

Process pp = run.exec(cmd);

int exitValue = pp.waitFor();

System.out.println("exitValue :"+exitValue);

Thanks,

Mohans

Hello Mohans,

Please use java reference or google to find such information because it doesn’t have any relations with Aspose.Slides.

Runtime run = Runtime.getRuntime();
String cmd[] = { “cmd”, “/c”, “start”, “c:/a.pps” };
try {
Process pp = run.exec(cmd);
int exitValue = pp.waitFor();
} catch (Exception e) {
}
