…and more from where our application calls mergePages in the sample project.

One thing I noticed about these 2 slides is that they are different width, but same height.

The sample project is attached here:
MergePagesService.java.zip (1.2 KB)

The data is client confidential so I can email it to you once I have your email or if you make this thread private.

We are using the most updated aspose.slides version: 2020.5

Thanks, in advance.
