Hi,

We are using Aspose.Slides for .NET 17.7 for conversion PowerPoint files to PDF. We got an issue with Smart Arts formatting. We are converting initial PowerPoint document using such code:

using (var presentation = new Presentation(inputStream))
{
presentation.Save(outputStream, SaveFormat.Pdf);
}

In output PDF file generated by Aspose, Smart Arts formatting is not the same as in initial PPTX file.

Please compare PDF files generated by Aspose.Slides and MS PowerPoint 2013. We are expected that Smart Arts look the same but they look different.

In attached ZIP:

Portrait.pptx - Initial PPTX file
Portrait_Aspose.pdf - PDF file, generated by Aspose.Slides
Portrait_PowerPoint.pdf - PDF file, generated by MS PowerPoint 2013

Thanks,
Roman

Hi,

I downloaded latest version of Slides (18.12) and checked the issue described above. In this version of Slides the issue is still observed. Are there any updates on this issue?

Thanks,

@cap.aspose,
To fix this issue, we need to implement rendering of 3D effects. Therefore, this ticket has been blocked by a corresponding task. Our development team is working on the feature.
