PPTX UnsupportedFormatException

Aspose.Slides Product Family
1

I get this exception when trying to open the attached file using the following in .NET

Exception Type: Aspose.Slides.UnsupportedFormatException

Message: The file is ZIP archive. It can be Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 PPTX presentation.

It is a power point file that I can open using the Microsoft program. Is Office 2010 NOT supported? Thanks

I'm all but done with the evaluation and demo internally for buying aspose.total for .NET. This could be a sticking point.

Hi Chris,


I have tried accessing your presentation using Aspose.Slides for .NET 5.5.0. I have not been able to encounter any exception using that. Please use the specified product version and let us know if there is still an issue. For your kind reference, I have attached the presentation saved using Aspose.Slides.

Thanks and Regards,

I installed the latest 5.5.0 version (per the link supplied). From that install, I am referencing the 3.5 assembly that came with that install.

I am still getting this error (below) however on the ".Open" with the file I supplied to you. The same code worked with a PPT 2003 file -

// aspose.slides

Presentation objPP = new Presentation(strFilePathSource);

Aspose.Slides.Export.PdfOptions pdfOptions = new Aspose.Slides.Export.PdfOptions();

I switched to the PresentationEx class for the PPTX extensions.

Same code. It worked.

Resolved.
