Powerpoint conversion to PDF fails

Aspose.Slides Product Family
1

Hi,

Attached is a copy of the ppt file that I was trying to convert to PDF. Here is the code that I used to convert it:

Using st As New IO.FileStream(Document.DownloadedSourcePath, IO.FileMode.Open, IO.FileAccess.Read)
If Document.IsOfficeXMLFormat Then
pres = New Presentation(fs)
Dim p As New Pptx.PresentationEx(fs)

Else
pres = New Presentation(fs)
End If
End Using

'perform the conversion
pres.Save(Document.OutputFolder & Constants.FILE_PUB_PPT2PDF, Export.SaveFormat.Pdf)

Using:
Aspose.Slides 4.3.0.0


The attached PPT file has some Japanese characters in it. Could you please take a look at tell me what is going on.

Thanks.

Dear John,

I have worked with the presentation file shared by you and have been able to reproduce the issue as improper Japanese characters rendering. It seems to be an inconsistency in Aspose.Slides for .NET and an issue with ID 19909 has been created in our issue tracking system to resolve the issue. This thread has also been linked with the issue, so that you may be automatically notified, once the issue is resolved.

We are sorry for your inconvenience,

Hi,

When I try to convert the attach powerpoint files to pdf, my entire application crashes. I use the same method as described in my first post. These powerpoint files do not have any Japanese characters.

Thanks.

Dear John,

I have worked with the presentation files shared by you and have been successfully able to generate the PDF file for PPTX presentations using Aspose.Slides for .NET 4.3.0. For PPT export to PDF the NullReferenceException has been received and this issue is already added in our issue tracking system with ID 19741. This thread has been linked with both of these issues and you will be automatically notified once these issues are resolved. I have verified the PPT getting successfully exported to PDF using Aspose.Slides for .NET 4.2.0 and meanwhile you may please use the mentioned version for PPT export. You can download Aspose.Slides for .NET 4.2.0 from here. For your kind reference, I have attached the generated PDF files.

We are sorry for your inconvenience,

Hi,

When I was messing around with the attached Powerpoints, I noticed that the one that breaks uses a theme. Could this be the cause of the issue? If so, do you have any recommendations on what themes we can and cannot use.

Thanks.

Hello John,

I regret to share that I am unable to share the cause of the issue. I will be really happy to share the reason of error with you once our development team is able to investigate and resolve the issue. However, as stated earlier, you may please use Aspose.Slides for .NET 4.2.0. I was successfully able to convert to PDF using the mentioned version of the product.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi,

I tried Aspose 4.2.0 and it did not work. I had to go back to Aspose 4.1.0 for it to work. When I went back, the Japanese ppt mentioned in the first post would not display at all. In 4.30, it was displaying for a certain font.

Thanks.
