Support for verifying PPTX file is password protected using Aspose.Slides for .NET

Aspose.Slides Product Family

Hi,


I might have already created thread for this enhancement, but cannot find it now.

Aspose.Words and Aspose.Cells already provide API to check if password (specified as method parameter) is the one, that file was protected with.

This is would be cool feature for Aspose.Slides as it does not preserve password-to-modify during conversion from legacy formats to OOXML formats. Please consider this scenario, app converts PPT to PPTX, makes some manipulation and then converts file back to PPT format. On the last step I need to assign password to modify. But I do not know if password that I have is the one that the original file was protected with.

Thanks,
Alex

Hi Alex,

I have observed your requirements and have also discussed that with our product team. An issue with ID SLIDESNET-38917 has been added as new feature request in our issue tracking system to provide requested support. We may offer a something like:

bool CheckWriteProtectionPassword(string password);

The returned bool value, if True will show that the presentation has write protection and password is correct. The False will be returned otherwise. I hope the suggested implementation will be helpful.

Many Thanks,

Cool. That is exactly what I need.
