Hello,

Thanks for your post.
I didn't notice the issue, could you please share your sample document and code for our better investigation?

Take any pptx file where Slide size is Widescreen (16:9). Load the presentation from MemortStream and save it. Now the Widescreen slides will be converted to Standard (4:3). In case If you are not able to reproduce the issue, I will post the code and also a sample pptx file. Please let me know.

Hello,

Thanks for your response.
Sorry I still couldn't reproduce the issue. Please provide the following details for our further investigation.
1. The input file as well as the code snippet.
2. The system configuration. Eg, Win 7, 64 bit.
3. The region and language information. Eg, China/Chinese.
Thanks in advance.

Sample Code:

public static MemoryStream ReplaceTableTags(PresentationInfo PresentationDocument, PresentationDocumentTables DocumentTables, FileFormat PresentationFormat)
{
Presentation PresentationFile = new Presentation(new MemoryStream(PresentationDocument.FileStream), PresentationFormat);
if (DocumentTables != null)
{
for (int i = 0; i < PresentationFile.Slides.Count; i++)
{
foreach (PresentationTable TableSubstitution in DocumentTables.Tables)
{
ITable Table = GetTableFromShapes(TableSubstitution.TableName, PresentationFile.Slides[i].Shapes);
if (Table != null)
{
foreach (TableCellContext CellContext in TableSubstitution.CellContext)
{
if (CellContext.RowIndex >= 0 && CellContext.ColumnIndex >= 0 && Table.TableRows.Count - 1 >= CellContext.RowIndex && Table.ColumnsList.Count - 1 >= CellContext.ColumnIndex)
{
List<TableCellContext> Duplicates = TableSubstitution.CellContext.Where(cell => cell.RowIndex == CellContext.RowIndex && cell.ColumnIndex == CellContext.ColumnIndex).ToList();
if (Duplicates.Count > 1)
{
double ColumnWidth = Table[CellContext.ColumnIndex, CellContext.RowIndex].Width / Duplicates.Count;
double[] ColumnWidths = new double[Duplicates.Count];
for (int z = 0; z < Duplicates.Count; z++)
ColumnWidths[z] = ColumnWidth;
double[] ColumnHeights = new double[] { (float)Table[CellContext.ColumnIndex, CellContext.RowIndex].Height };
ITable CellTable = PresentationFile.Slides[i].Shapes.AppendTable((float)Table[CellContext.ColumnIndex, CellContext.RowIndex].Width,
(float)Table[CellContext.ColumnIndex, CellContext.RowIndex].Height, ColumnWidths, ColumnHeights);
CellTable.SetTableBorder(TableBorderType.None, 0, Color.Transparent);
for (int a = 0; a < Duplicates.Count(); a++)
{
CellTable[a, 0].TextFrame.Text = Duplicates[a].Value;

//Can remove the below line if text alignment is specified in substitution data
CellTable[a, 0].TextFrame.IsCentered = Table[CellContext.ColumnIndex, CellContext.RowIndex].TextFrame.IsCentered;

CellTable[a, 0].FillFormat.SolidColor.Color = Color.Transparent;
ApplyCellStyle(Duplicates[a], CellTable[a, 0]);

//How to send this in substitution data?
/*CellTable[a, 0].BorderRight.Width = 1.0;
CellTable[a, 0].BorderRight.Style = TextLineStyle.Single;
CellTable[a, 0].BorderRight.FillType = FillFormatType.Solid;
CellTable[a, 0].BorderRight.DashStyle = LineDashStyleType.Solid;*/
}
CellTable.Left = Table.Left + (float)Table[CellContext.ColumnIndex, CellContext.RowIndex].OffsetX;
CellTable.Top = Table.Top + (float)Table[CellContext.ColumnIndex, CellContext.RowIndex].OffsetY;
TableSubstitution.CellContext.Where(Context => Context.RowIndex == CellContext.RowIndex && Context.ColumnIndex == CellContext.ColumnIndex).ToList().ForEach(Context => { Context.ColumnIndex = -1; Context.RowIndex = -1; });
continue;
}
Table[CellContext.ColumnIndex, CellContext.RowIndex].TextFrame.Text = CellContext.Value;
ApplyCellStyle(CellContext, Table[CellContext.ColumnIndex, CellContext.RowIndex]);
}
}
}
}
}
}
MemoryStream PresentationData = new MemoryStream();
//PresentationFile.SlideSize.Size = PresentationFile.SlideSize.SizeOfPx;
// PresentationFile.SlideSize.SizeOfPx = PresentationFile.SlideSize.SizeOfPx;
//PresentationFile.SlideSize.Type = PresentationFile.SlideSize.Type;
//PresentationFile.SetPageSize(16.0F, 9.0F, true);
PresentationFile.SaveToFile(PresentationData, PresentationFormat);
//PresentationFile.SlideSize.Type = SlideSizeType.
return PresentationData;
}

Please have a look.. I recommended this tool to my client. Now we are in QA and I am not in the position to recommend some other tool now to handle presentations.

If possible please let me know how to split a table cell into two or have a table inside a table cell.

[Jane.Bai]

Hello,

Thanks for your code.
1. I could still get the correct result by using the below code. I also tried adding a table, it works ok.

Code: Select all

Presentation ppt = new Presentation();

byte[] byts = File.ReadAllBytes("Vision Comparison.pptx");
MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(byts);
ppt.LoadFromStream(ms, FileFormat.Pptx2010);
 
ppt.SaveToFile("13796.pptx", FileFormat.Pptx2010);

Please check twice using the simple code I provided with the latest version(Spire.Presentation Pack Hotfix Version:3.5.1).
In addition, you could use the code " ppt.SlideSize.Type = SlideSizeType.Screen16x9;" to set the slide size to be 16:9.

2.As for the second case, we have a method to split the cell, yet it is private now. We will consider making it public. Below is the sample code for adding a table in a table cell.

Code: Select all

//Create PPT document
Presentation presentation = new Presentation();

//Add a teble in the first slide
Double[] widths = new double[] { 200, 200 };
Double[] heights = new double[] { 100, 100 };
ITable table = presentation.Slides[0].Shapes.AppendTable(170, 80, widths, heights);

//Add another table at the position of the first table cell in the previous table
table[0, 0].Slide.Shapes.AppendTable(175, 100, new double[] { 80, 80 }, new double[] { 25, 25 });

//Save the document
presentation.SaveToFile("TabelInTable.pptx", FileFormat.Pptx2010);


Once the split method is disclosed, I will inform you.

One more thing, we are testing in trial version.

[manjudupi]

Thank you very much. I got the issue, while merging I was creating a new presentation,

Presentation MergedFile = new Presentation();

and then appending slides to it. By default the type is Screen4X3, so I was getting the wrong type. I fixed it using,

MergedFile.SlideSize.Type = SlideSizeType.Screen16x9;

It works now, I really appreciate your help and you made my day

Thank you

Hello,

Thanks for your valuable feedback.
Once the new feature of splitting table is available, I will let you know.

I am facing one more issue,

I have added Spire.Presentation and Spire.XLS to same project (class library). Now I am facing issue with Spire.pdf, there is a conflict. Both Spire.Presentation and Spire.XLS adds references to Spire.pdf. Spire.Presentation is not working now. Please help..

[manjudupi]

To be specific, I am getting the below warning while rebuilding the project,

3>C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\MSBuild\15.0\Bin\Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets(2041,5): warning MSB3277: Found conflicts between different versions of "Spire.Pdf" that could not be resolved. These reference conflicts are listed in the build log when log verbosity is set to detailed.

Hello manjudupi,

Thank you for contacting us.
Please kindly note that our single product is used respectively. If you want to use two or more products together, you need to choose Spire.Office to avoid incompatibility, and the latest version is Spire.Office Platinum (DLL Only) Version:3.4.2.
