Hi Team I am trying to embedded a file to be specific a .prism file in PPT. I am using below code

Path path = Paths.get(filePath);
byte[] data = Files.readAllBytes(path);
IOleEmbeddedDataInfo dataInfo = new OleEmbeddedDataInfo(data, ".prism");
IOleObjectFrame objectFrame = sld.getShapes().insertOleObjectFrame(0, 100f, 100f, (float) oleWidth, (float) oleHeight, dataInfo);

After execution its adding object in Slide as Below
Ebd.png (30.5 KB)

and after clicking it its opening correctly in the tool, but after that its appearing as below in Slides
Ebd_After.png (3.2 KB)

But i want its content to be visible like below, Like how its how when we copy paste it as content on normal ppt creation.
Ebd_WithContent.png (5.2 KB)

Please help.

@mdmobin,
Thank you for contacting support.

I believe that when you copy and paste content from the document onto a slide, an image is created. To make the content visible in place of the OLE object, you should somehow create a preview image and insert it in place of the icon image like this:

byte[] imageData = Files.readAllBytes(Paths.get("preview_image.png"));
IPPImage oleImage = presentation.getImages().addImage(imageData);

objectFrame.getSubstitutePictureFormat().getPicture().setImage(oleImage);
objectFrame.setObjectIcon(false);

More examples:

Thanks for the update team, is there no way other than setting image explicitly ?

@mdmobin,
Unfortunately, PowerPoint documents do not provide another way.

hi @andrey.potapov
After Adding object like above , when PPT is generated it shows as whatever image we have added as below
Ebd_Generated.png (18.7 KB)

, but after opening the file , its getting changed to icon again like below.
Ebd_After.png (3.2 KB)

I have set the objectFrame.setObjectIcon(false); as well
Please help

@mdmobin,
When you create an OleEmbeddedDataInfo object, you should pass the “prism” string to the embeddedFileExtension parameter instead of “.prism”:

IOleEmbeddedDataInfo dataInfo = new OleEmbeddedDataInfo(data, "prism");
