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)

Could you please share the presentation you used this time?

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.
