OS: Ubuntu
Library: Aspose slides - Python via .Net

PDF Export:

pdfOptions = slides.export.PdfOptions()

# Sets the Jpeg quality
pdfOptions.jpeg_quality = 100

# Sets the behavior for metafiles
pdfOptions.save_metafiles_as_png = True
pdfOptions.sufficient_resolution = 100

# Sets the text compression level
pdfOptions.text_compression = slides.export.PdfTextCompression.NONE

# Defines the PDF standard
pdfOptions.compliance = slides.export.PdfCompliance.PDF15
presentation.save(
    test.pptx,
    slides.export.SaveFormat.PDF,
    pdfOptions,
)

Thumbnail export:

with open(file_name, 'wb') as file:
    # setting svg export params
    svgOptions = slides.export.SVGOptions()
    svgOptions.vectorize_text = True
    svgOptions.jpeg_quality = 100
    svgOptions.pictures_compression = 3
    slide.write_as_svg(file, svgOptions)

However, we are encountering these problems specifically when attempting to export in PNG and SVG formats. It’s important to note that we are currently utilizing the most up-to-date version of Aspose Slides (Python) for this process.
