Hello team.
Just wanted to follow up on this long outstanding issue - what the status is.
Is it classified as not a bug (which seems to be the case according to the save( String fname, int[] slides, int format) api documentation), or are the any plans to resolve it soon?
Thank you.

@oraspose,
An ArgumentOutOfRangeException occurs because the slideNumbers array must start at 1.

Anyway, the method

pres.save("testPptxToPdf.pptx", slideNumbers, SaveFormat.Pptx);

cannot be used to save specific slides for PPTX, PPTM, PPSX, PPSM, POTX, POTM, PPT, POT, ODP, PPS, OTP, XML formats.

To save specific slides for these formats, clone the required slides into a new presentation:

Presentation presentation = new Presentation("BasicSlideStartFromNumber0.pptx");
Presentation clonedPresentation = new Presentation();

clonedPresentation.getSlides().removeAt(0);
clonedPresentation.getSlides().insertClone(0, presentation.getSlides().get_Item(0));
clonedPresentation.save("BasicSlideStartFromNumber0-clone.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx);

clonedPresentation.dispose();
presentation.dispose();
