Problem with reading bullted content in Presentation

Aspose.Slides Product Family

Hi Team,

Using the below sample code, I have created a presentation for Managing Paragraph Bullets in PPTX.
When i open pptx, it prompts to repair the presentation with following message:

"Powerpoint found a problem with content in :…pptx.Powerpoint can attempt to repair the presentation.
Powerpoint couldn’t read some content in Bullet."

I am using 14.9.0.0 version of Aspose.slides for .Net and opening presentation in PowerPoint 2013.
I have zipped up and attached the presentation.

Code:

//Creating a presenation instance

using (Presentation pres = new Presentation())

{

<span class="code-comment">//Accessing the first slide



    ISlide slide = pres.Slides[0];


<span class="code-comment">//Adding and accessing Autoshape



    IAutoShape aShp = slide.Shapes.AddAutoShape(ShapeType.Rectangle, 200, 200, 400, 200);


<span class="code-comment">//Accessing the text frame of created autoshape



    ITextFrame txtFrm = aShp.TextFrame;


<span class="code-comment">//Removing the <span class="code-keyword">default</span> exisiting paragraph



    txtFrm.Paragraphs.RemoveAt(0);


<span class="code-comment">//Creating a paragraph

para.ParagraphFormat.Bullet.IsBulletHardColor = NullableBool.True; // set IsBulletHardColor to true to use own bullet color



//Setting Bullet Height

    para.ParagraphFormat.Bullet.Height = 100;


<span class="code-comment">//Adding Paragraph to text frame



    txtFrm.Paragraphs.Add(para);

Hi Owais,


Do you mean to say, there is no way to add bullets and numbering in presentation using Aspose.slides for .Net because sample code for the same given by Aspose is not working. Please confirm.

Is there any alternative to add bullets and numbering in presentation? If yes, please provide sample code for the same. It would be a great help for me to go ahead with Aspose.slides for .Net.

Thank you.

Hi Pradeep,

Well, the feature is supported by Aspose.Slides for .NET. I have further checked the issue and there is some issue with number bullet styles. Some number formats are not working properly with the latest version. Please try the following updated code to add bullets and number bullets.


//Creating a presenation instance
using (Presentation pres = new Presentation())
{

//Accessing the first slide
ISlide slide = pres.Slides[0];

//Adding and accessing Autoshape
IAutoShape aShp = slide.Shapes.AddAutoShape(Aspose.Slides.ShapeType.Rectangle, 200, 200, 400, 200);

//Accessing the text frame of created autoshape
ITextFrame txtFrm = aShp.TextFrame;

//Removing the default exisiting paragraph
txtFrm.Paragraphs.RemoveAt(0);

//Creating a paragraph
Paragraph para = new Paragraph();

//Setting paragraph bullet style and symbol
para.ParagraphFormat.Bullet.Type = BulletType.Symbol;
para.ParagraphFormat.Bullet.Char = Convert.ToChar(8226);

//Setting paragraph text
para.Text = “Welcome to Aspose.Slides”;

//Setting bullet indent
para.ParagraphFormat.Indent = 25;

//Setting bullet color
para.ParagraphFormat.Bullet.Color.ColorType = Aspose.Slides.ColorType.RGB;
para.ParagraphFormat.Bullet.Color.Color = System.Drawing.Color.Black;
para.ParagraphFormat.Bullet.IsBulletHardColor = NullableBool.True; // set IsBulletHardColor to true to use own bullet color

//Setting Bullet Height
para.ParagraphFormat.Bullet.Height = 100;

//Adding Paragraph to text frame
txtFrm.Paragraphs.Add(para);

//Creating second paragraph
Paragraph para2 = new Paragraph();

//Setting paragraph bullet type and style
para2.ParagraphFormat.Bullet.Type = BulletType.Numbered;
para2.ParagraphFormat.Bullet.NumberedBulletStyle = NumberedBulletStyle.BulletArabicPeriod;
para2.ParagraphFormat.Bullet.NumberedBulletStartWith = 1;

//Adding paragraph text
para2.Text = “This is numbered bullet”;

//Setting bullet indent
para2.ParagraphFormat.Indent = 25;

para2.ParagraphFormat.Bullet.Color.ColorType = Aspose.Slides.ColorType.RGB;
para2.ParagraphFormat.Bullet.Color.Color = System.Drawing.Color.Black;
para2.ParagraphFormat.Bullet.IsBulletHardColor = NullableBool.True; // set IsBulletHardColor to true to use own bullet color

//Setting Bullet Height
para2.ParagraphFormat.Bullet.Height = 100;

//Adding Paragraph to text frame
txtFrm.Paragraphs.Add(para2);

//Saving the presentation as a PPTX file
pres.Save(“d:\data\Bullet.pptx”, Aspose.Slides.Export.SaveFormat.Pptx);

}

Some of the number bullet formats are causing the issue and our development team will further look into them. Please feel free to contact support in case you need any further assistance.

Thanks & Regards,
