Converting PPTX to PDF in Java: Unsupported Secondary Axis Composition

dev.raz · February 9, 2022, 8:11am

Hi,

I am using Aspose.total with Developer OEM license.

With Aspose slides, I am trying to convert a PPTX file to PDF as follows :

com.aspose.slides.LoadOptions loadOptions = new com.aspose.slides.LoadOptions();
Presentation pres = new Presentation(GZIPInputStreamObject, loadOptions);
pres.save(fileOutputStream, com.aspose.slides.SaveFormat.Pdf);

I am using the latest version of Aspose slides [21.12 ]

<dependency>
	<groupId>com.aspose</groupId>
 	<artifactId>aspose-slides</artifactId>
	<version>21.12</version>
	<classifier>jdk16</classifier>
 </dependency>

Unsupported_secondary_axis_composition.zip (743.1 KB)
There are 2 PPTX files available in the above zip folder.

When I try to convert these PPTX files to PDF, the below error throws :
