Transparency is lost when converting PPTX to PDF (C#)

Aspose.Slides Product Family

Hi,

When converting a PPTX document to a PDF, I noticed all the transparency properties on the image are lost.

Code:

        var ppt = new Presentation(@".\test2.pptx");
        var saveOption = new PdfOptions();
        ppt.Save(@".\test2.pdf", SaveFormat.Pdf, saveOption);

In the output (see the screenshot below), the background of the image became white in the pdf:

I also tried setting SaveMetafilesAsPng to false, code:

        var ppt = new Presentation(@".\test2.pptx");
        var saveOption = new PdfOptions();
        saveOption.SaveMetafilesAsPng = false;
        ppt.Save(@".\test2SaveMetafilesAsPng.pdf", SaveFormat.Pdf, saveOption);

The background became transparent, but all text was missing:

If I use the MS Office ‘Save as’ to pdf, the output looked file.

I’ve attached the test file and both Aspose output files for your reference. Could you please take a look?
