WriteAsSvg Black Background (Transparency?)

Aspose.Slides Product Family
1

I am trying to export slides using the writeAsSvg function with a memory stream.

The svgs are created fine but they all have a black slide background. The powerpoint file itself has a solid white background and 0% transparency.

Any thoughts?

Thanks.

Further to this I notice charts and pngs also export to svg with a black background. Do you have an idea if this is likely to be resolved soon? We bought Slides.net primarily on the back of this functionality and we can't use it.
