In this article, we will explain how to copy a shapes or all shapes from one slide into another within the same PowerPoint document by using Spire.Presentation.
Firstly, view the sample PowerPoint document:
Copy a single shape from the first slide to the second slide:
//Load the sample document
Presentation ppt = new Presentation();
ppt.LoadFromFile("Sample.pptx");
//define the source slide and target slide
ISlide sourceSlide = ppt.Slides[0];
ISlide targetSlide = ppt.Slides[1];
//copy the second shape from the source slide to the target slide
targetSlide.Shapes.AddShape((Shape)sourceSlide.Shapes[1]);
//save the document to file
ppt.SaveToFile("Copyshape.pptx", FileFormat.Pptx2013);
Effective screenshot after copy a single shape from the first slide to second slide:
Copy all shapes from the first slide to the second slide:
//Load the sample document
Presentation ppt = new Presentation();
ppt.LoadFromFile("Sample.pptx");
//copy all the shapes from the source slide to the target slide
for (int i = 0; i < ppt.Slides.Count - 1; i++)
{
ISlide sourceSlide = ppt.Slides[i];
ISlide targetSlide = ppt.Slides[ppt.Slides.Count - 1];
for (int j = 0; j < sourceSlide.Shapes.Count; j++)
{
targetSlide.Shapes.AddShape((Shape)sourceSlide.Shapes[j]);
}
}
//save the document to file
ppt.SaveToFile("Copyshapes.pptx", FileFormat.Pptx2013);
Effective screenshot after copy all shapes from the first slide to second slide:

Presentation presentation = new Presentation();
presentation.loadFromFile("C:/Users/Administrator/Desktop/example.pptx");
//add a shape to the first slide
Rectangle2D.Double labelRect= new Rectangle2D.Double(50, 120, 100, 50);
IAutoShape labelShape = presentation.getSlides().get(0).getShapes().appendShape(ShapeType.RECTANGLE, labelRect);
labelShape.getLine().setFillType(FillFormatType.NONE);
labelShape.getFill().setFillType(FillFormatType.NONE);
labelShape.getTextFrame().setText("Audio:");

The java.awt.print package provides classes and interfaces for a general printing API. It has the ability to specify the document types and manage the print options, such as specifying printer name, setting print range, printing in duplex, and printing in custom paper sizes. In this article, you will learn how to print PDF documents in Java using this package and Spire.PDF for Java library.
- Print PDF with the Default Printer Without a Print Dialog
- Print Page Ranges with a Specified Printer
- Print PDF with a Print Dialog
- Print PDF in Duplex Mode
- Print PDF in a Custom Paper Size
Install Spire.PDF for Java
First of all, you're required to add the Spire.Pdf.jar file as a dependency in your Java program. The JAR file can be downloaded from this link. If you use Maven, you can easily import the JAR file in your application by adding the following code to your project's pom.xml file.

Print PDF with the Default Printer Without a Print Dialog
The following are the steps to print PDF documents with the default printer using java.awt.print and Spire.PDF for Java.
- Create an instance of PrinterJob class, and calls methods in this class to set up a job.
- Create a PdfDocument object, and load a PDF document using PdfDocument.LoadFromFile() method.
- Render each page of the document in the specified format using PrinterJob.setPrintable() method.
- Call PrinterJob.print() method to print the PDF pages.
- Java
import com.spire.pdf.PdfDocument;
import java.awt.print.PageFormat;
import java.awt.print.Paper;
import java.awt.print.PrinterException;
import java.awt.print.PrinterJob;
public class PrintWithDefaultPrinter {
public static void main(String[] args) {
//Create a PrinterJob object which is initially associated with the default printer
PrinterJob printerJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
// Create a PageFormat object and set it to a default size and orientation
PageFormat pageFormat = printerJob.defaultPage();
//Return a copy of the Paper object associated with this PageFormat
Paper paper = pageFormat.getPaper();
//Set the imageable area of this Paper
paper.setImageableArea(0, 0, pageFormat.getWidth(), pageFormat.getHeight());
//Set the Paper object for this PageFormat
pageFormat.setPaper(paper);
//Create a PdfDocument object
PdfDocument pdf = new PdfDocument();
//Load a PDF file
pdf.loadFromFile("C:\\Users\\Administrator\\Desktop\\sample.pdf");
//Call painter to render the pages in the specified format
printerJob.setPrintable(pdf, pageFormat);

try {
printerJob.print();
} catch (PrinterException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
Print Page Ranges with a Specified Printer
The following are the steps to print a page range with a specified printer using java.awt.print and Spire.PDF for Java.
