Spire.Presentation supports to convert PPT to PPTX, from version 2.2.17, now it starts to load .pps format document and save to .ppsx format document in C#. This article will show you how to convert PPS to PPTX in C#.

Presentation presentation = new Presentation();
Step 2: Load the PPS file from disk.
presentation.LoadFromFile("sample.pps");
Step 3: Save the PPS document to PPTX file format.
presentation.SaveToFile("ToPPTX.pptx", FileFormat.Pptx2010);
Step 4: Launch and view the resulted PPTX file.
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("ToPPTX.pptx");
Full codes:
using Spire.Presentation;
namespace PPStoPPTX
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Presentation presentation = new Presentation();
//load the PPS file from disk
presentation.LoadFromFile("sample.pps");
//save the PPS document to PPTX file format
presentation.SaveToFile("ToPPTX.pptx", FileFormat.Pptx2010);
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("ToPPTX.pptx");
}
}
}
Imports Spire.Presentation
Namespace PPStoPPTX
Class Program
Private Shared Sub Main(args As String())
Dim presentation As New Presentation()
'load the PPS file from disk
presentation.LoadFromFile("sample.pps")
'save the PPS document to PPTX file format
presentation.SaveToFile("ToPPTX.pptx", FileFormat.Pptx2010)
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("ToPPTX.pptx")
End Sub
End Class

Set the outline and effects for shapes in PowerPoint files via Spire.Presentation
2015-03-19 08:05:12 Written by KoohjiOutline and effects for shapes can make the presentation of your PowerPoint files more attractive. This article talks about how to set the outline and effects for shapes via Spire.Presentation.
Step 1: Create a PowerPoint document.
Presentation ppt = new Presentation();
Step 2: Get the first slide
ISlide slide = ppt.Slides[0];
Step 3: Draw Rectangle shape on slide[0] with methord AppendShape();
IAutoShape shape = slide.Shapes.AppendShape(ShapeType.Rectangle, new RectangleF(50, 100, 100, 50));
Step 4: Set outline color as red.
//Outline color shape.ShapeStyle.LineColor.Color = Color.Red;
Step 5: Add shadow effect and set parameters for it.
//Effect PresetShadow shadow = new PresetShadow(); shadow.Preset = PresetShadowValue.FrontRightPerspective; shadow.Distance = 10.0; shadow.Direction = 225.0f; shape.EffectDag.PresetShadowEffect = shadow;
Step 6: Change a Ellipse to add yellow outline with a glow effect:
Change step 4 and 5 as Code:
shape = slide.Shapes.AppendShape(ShapeType.Ellipse, new RectangleF(200, 100, 100, 100)); //Outline color shape.ShapeStyle.LineColor.Color = Color.Yellow; //Effect GlowEffect glow = new GlowEffect(); glow.ColorFormat.Color = Color.Purple; glow.Radius = 20.0; shape.EffectDag.GlowEffect = glow;
Step 7: Save and review.
ppt.SaveToFile("Result.pptx", FileFormat.Pptx2010);
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("Sample.PPTx");

In some circumstance where we need to create a copy of the existing pages in our PDF document instead of copying the entire file, in particular, if we have to create hundreds copies of a certain page, it can be tedious to copy the page one after another. This article demonstrates a solution for how to duplicate a page in a PDF document and create multiple copies at a time using Spire.PDF.
In this example, I prepare a sample PDF file that only contains one page and eventually I’ll create ten copies of this page in the same document. Main method would be as follows:
Code Snippet:
Step 1: Create a new PDF document and load the sample file.
PdfDocument pdf = new PdfDocument("Sample.pdf");
Step 2: Get the first page from PDF, get the size of the page. Create a new instance of Pdf Template object based on the content and appearance of the first page.
PdfPageBase page = pdf.Pages[0]; SizeF size = page.Size; PdfTemplate template = page.CreateTemplate();
Step 3: Create a new PDF page with the method Pages.Add() based on the size of the first page, draw the template on the new page at the specified location. Use a for loops to get more copies of this page.
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
page = pdf.Pages.Add(size, new PdfMargins(0));
page.Canvas.DrawTemplate(template, new PointF(0, 0));
}
Step 4: Save the file.
pdf.SaveToFile("Result.pdf");
Output:
Ten copies of the first page have been created in the sample PDF document.

{
PdfDocument pdf = new PdfDocument("Sample.pdf");
PdfPageBase page = pdf.Pages[0];
SizeF size = page.Size;
PdfTemplate template = page.CreateTemplate();
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
page = pdf.Pages.Add(size, new PdfMargins(0));
page.Canvas.DrawTemplate(template, new PointF(0, 0));
}
pdf.SaveToFile("Result.pdf");
}
