Hi,


Please accept my apologies for the delayed response.

I have observed the images shared by you. However, in order to further investigate and resolve the issue on our end, we need the source presentation and sample code that you have used for your investigation. Please also share the generated XPS files as well.

Many Thanks,

Hi,


I have worked with the presentation files shared by you and have been able to reproduce the issues specified. An issue with ID SLIDESNET-33670 has been created to resolve the NullReferenceException issue while exporting PPTX.pptx to XPS.

I have also observed the improper rendering issue for bullet character on slide and a separate issue with ID SLIDESNET-33671 has been created as enhancement in our issue tracking system.

This thread has been linked with the issues so that you may be automatically notified once the issues will be resolved.

We are sorry for your inconvenience,

hi


my customer use Aspose.Slides
for .NET 6.5.0 to investigate the issue.

Can you use Aspose.Slides for .NET 6.5.0 to reinvestigate the issue?
#6

Hi Daisy,


I have tested the presentation using Aspose.Slides for .NET 6.5.0 as well and there is no issue with that as well. I suggest you to please install the used fonts in your operating system to avoid improper font rendering issue.

Many Thanks,
#7

Hi Mudassir,


You mean after my customer installs the used fonts in his operating system, both ID SLIDESNET-33670 and ID SLIDESNET-33671 can be solved?

Or it can only solve this question- ID SLIDESNET-33671?

Besides, what do you mean by used fonts?

Can you please explain it a little?
#8

Hi Daisy,


Actually, installing the fonts will resolve the issue of block characters rendering. Issue SLIDESNET-33670 deals with NullReferenceException while exporting PPTX.pptx to XPS. Whereas, issue SLIDESNET-33671 deals with black background appearing in bullet characters. These are two different issues and installing fonts will not resolved these issues.

Many Thanks,

hi,


Ok. Ill ask my customer to install fonts.

When can Issue SLIDESNET-33670 be solved?
#10

hi,


Part of the problem has been solved after my customer installs the fonts. But the problem is there are always some rare fonts in the documents. When converters dont include these rare fonts, can converters use default fonts instead of messy code?

There is another problem

See the code

///

<o:p></o:p>

/// Txt To Xps

///

///

///

private void TxtToXps(FileTypeInfo fInfo)

{

SetLicense();

Aspose.Words.Document wordDocument = new Aspose.Words.Document(fInfo.SourcePath);

//Aspose.Words.DocumentBuilder builder = new Aspose.Words.DocumentBuilder(wordDocument);

wordDocument.Save(fInfo.ProxyFileInfo.FilePath, Aspose.Words.SaveFormat.Xps);

}

After text is converted into xps, the content is messy code .see attached.

Hi Daisy,


I like to share that Aspose.Slides use Arial as default font for rendering when the used font is missing. Actually, the Chinese characters are not supported in Arial so the characters are rendered in form of block. The option that remains is to copy the used fonts in your operating system. However, I have added an issue as new feature request in our issue tracking system with ID SLIDESNET-33721 to investigate the possibility of setting the user defined font for rendering in case used font missing. This thread has been linked with the presentation so that you may be automatically notified once the feature will be available.

We are sorry for your inconvenience,

Hi Daisy,


I like to share that issue SLIDESNET-33721 has been resolved in Aspose.Slides for .NET 7.2.0. Now, It is possible to define DefaultRegular font and DefaultAsian font for rendering. Please try using the following sample code to serve the purpose.

LoadOptions lo = new LoadOptions(LoadFormat.Auto);
lo.DefaultRegularFont = “Wingdings”;
lo.DefaultAsianFont = “Wingdings”;

PresentationEx pptx = new PresentationEx(“pptx_location”, lo);

pptx.Slides[0].GetThumbnail(1, 1).Save(“output location”, ImageFormat.Png);
pptx.Save(“output location”, SaveFormat.Pdf);
pptx.Save(“output location”, SaveFormat.Xps);

Many Thanks,
