PPTX to PDF Conversion Speed for Large Presentations

Aspose.Slides Product Family
, ,
#1

Hi,

I am using Aspose.total with Developer OEM license. With Aspose slides, I am trying to convert a pptx file to pdf. The pptx file has 149 slides with total size of the file as 17.8 MB.

It takes 60 seconds on average for the file to be converted to pdf. But customer expects the result in 30 seconds. I use following code to convert pptx file to pdf.

com.aspose.slides.LoadOptions loadOptions = new com.aspose.slides.LoadOptions();
loadOptions.setWarningCallback(new SlidesFontWarning());
Presentation pres = new Presentation(GZIPInputStreamObject, loadOptions);
ByteArrayOutputStream outStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
pres.save(outStream, com.aspose.slides.SaveFormat.Pdf);

Do I need to add any other configuration to speed up the file conversion?
For a pptx file with 149 slides and 17.8 MB size, With aspose, what is the expected time for the file to be converted to pdf.?

Regards,
Raz

@dev.raz,
Thank you for posting the query.

Unfortunately, there are no options to speed up the PDF conversion. This process has been optimized and will be improved through fixes if any issues are found.

It depends on the environment where the PDF conversion is performed.

To investigate your case on our side, please share and specify the following:

  • input presentation file
  • OS version where the code example performed
  • JDK version
  • VM options
  • hardware description

Our development team investigated the issue and found no bottlenecks in our code for optimization. We will consider the possibility for parallel export of each presentation slide to PDF.

@Andrey_Potapov
As of now we have ASPOSE license with Free Support.
Also we have raised this issue on Jul 29th, we thought it will be fixed in free support.

Our application needs this issue to be solved as high priority, we would like to know ASPOSE support regarding this issue.
If it will take time to solve this issue in FREE support, is it possible to fix this with high priority in PAID support.
(because our customer expecting to look for another library, if it’s not possible fix quickly in ASPOSE)

Also if it will take time to solve this issue, our customer expecting to look for another library.
Could you verify it once and let us know about this.

@dev.raz,
I have performed additional research.

Hardware:
Intel® Core™ i5-8250U CPU @ 1.60GHz 1.80 GHz
RAM 12.0 GB

Java:
JDK 1.8
Maximum Heap Size: 4 GB

For comparison with PowerPoint, I saved the document to a file.

PPTX to PDF conversion results

Office 365 PowerPoint:
32 sec

Aspose.Slides for Java 21.10:
19 sec - first file conversion
6 sec - second file conversion

Please pay attention to your environment in which your code runs.

We are constantly working to improve performance, but in this case, we cannot offer a quick solution.
