How to Convert PowerPoint Document to TIFF Image in C#, VB.NET
2014-05-16 03:09:57 Written by KoohjiConversion from PowerPoint to TIFF may be useful in order to fax the presentation files or send them off for printing. Spire.Presentation provides straightforward method SaveToFile to do the conversion, which automatically detects presentation slides and convert them to TIFF image (one image per slide).
Step 1: Create an instance of Presentation class.
Presentation ppt = new Presentation();
Step 2: Load a PowerPoint file.
ppt.LoadFromFile("template.pptx");
Step 3: Save to TIFF format file.
ppt.SaveToFile("toTIFF.tiff", FileFormat.Tiff);
Output:
Full Code:
using Spire.Presentation;
namespace PPTtoTIFF
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Presentation ppt = new Presentation();
ppt.LoadFromFile("template.pptx");
ppt.SaveToFile("toTIFF.tiff", FileFormat.Tiff);
}
}
}
Imports Spire.Presentation
Namespace PPTtoTIFF
Class Program
Private Shared Sub Main(args As String())
Dim ppt As New Presentation()
ppt.LoadFromFile("template.pptx")
ppt.SaveToFile("toTIFF.tiff", FileFormat.Tiff)
End Sub
End Class

Spire.Presentation for .NET is designed to help .NET developers to create, access, copy and edit PowerPoint documents as well as protect PowerPoint documents. By using Spire.Presentation, developers can save PowerPoint files with write protection to allow the presentation to be read in read only mode. This section aims to provide guidance for how to save PowerPoint documents as ReadOnly using Spire.Presentation component.
To begin with, create or open a .NET class application in Visual Studio 2005 or above versions, add Spire.Presentation.dll to your .NET project assemblies. Then, you are able to set a PPT documents to ReadOnly using the sample demo C# code we have offered below.
Step 1: Create a PPT document
Presentation presentation = new Presentation();
Step 2: Load PPT file from disk
presentation.LoadFromFile(@"..\..\..\..\..\..\Data\sample.pptx");
Step 3: Protect the document with a string password
presentation.Protect("test");
Step 4: Save and preview
presentation.SaveToFile("readonly.pptx", FileFormat.Pptx2007);
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("readonly.pptx");
Screen effect:
Full code:
//create PPT document
Presentation presentation = new Presentation();
//load PPT file from disk
presentation.LoadFromFile(@"..\..\..\..\..\..\Data\sample.pptx");
//protect the document with password "test"
presentation.Protect("test");
//save the document
presentation.SaveToFile("readonly.ppt", FileFormat.PPT);
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("readonly.ppt");
'create PPT document
Dim presentation As New Presentation()
'load PPT file from disk
presentation.LoadFromFile("..\..\..\..\..\..\Data\sample.pptx")
protect the document with password "test"
presentation.Protect("test")
'save the document
presentation.SaveToFile("readonly.ppt", FileFormat.PPT)
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("readonly.ppt")
Inserting charts to your PPT document is an easy and eye catching way to display important information. Spire.Presentation includes many different types of data charts including column charts, cylinder charts, cone charts, pyramid charts, clustered charts, line charts, pie charts, bar charts, area charts, scatter charts, stock charts, surface charts, contour charts, doughnut charts, bubble charts and radar charts.
Spire.Presentation for .NET, a reliable .NET PPT component, enables you to generate, read, edit, convert even print your PPT documents without installing Microsoft PowerPoint on your machine. Using Spire.Presentation for .NET, you also can insert charts in your PPT document with C#. Please see the target PPT document with chart as below picture:
The steps of method are:
Step 1: Create the PPT document.
Presentation presentation = new Presentation();
Step 2: Insert chart, set title and style of the chart.
RectangleF rect = new RectangleF(presentation.SlideSize.Size.Width / 2 - 200, 100, 400, 400); IChart chart = presentation.Slides[0].Shapes.AppendChart(Spire.Presentation.Charts.ChartType.Cylinder3DClustered, rect); chart.ChartTitle.TextProperties.Text = "Report"; chart.ChartTitle.TextProperties.IsCentered = true; chart.ChartTitle.Height = 30; chart.HasTitle = true;
Step 3: Prepare data for the chart. Load a simple DataTable from XML file via LoadData() method.
DataTable dataTable = LoadData();
private DataTable LoadData()
{
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
ds.ReadXmlSchema("data-schema.xml");
ds.ReadXml("data.xml");
return ds.Tables[0];
}
Step 4: Attach the data to chart. We can use chart.ChartData[rowIndex, columnIndex] to get/set the value of the specified cell in the data table of chart. Using the property chart.ChartData[rowIndex, columnIndex].Text to get/set the text value. Using the property chart.ChartData[rowIndex, columnIndex].Value to get/set numeric value. In this article we define a method InitChartData to attach the Data of the chart.
private void InitChartData(IChart chart, DataTable dataTable)
{
for (int c = 0; c < dataTable.Columns.Count; c++)
{
chart.ChartData[0, c].Text = dataTable.Columns[c].Caption;
}
for (int r = 0; r < dataTable.Rows.Count; r++)
{
object[] data = dataTable.Rows[r].ItemArray;
for (int c = 0; c < data.Length; c++)
{
chart.ChartData[r + 1, c].Value = data[c];
}
}
}
Step 5: Set the Series label and Category label.
chart.Series.SeriesLabel = chart.ChartData["B1", "D1"]; chart.Categories.CategoryLabels = chart.ChartData["A2", "A7"];
Step 6: Assign data to each Series and set each Series' fill color.
chart.Series[0].Values = chart.ChartData["B2", "B7"]; chart.Series[0].Fill.FillType = FillFormatType.Solid; chart.Series[0].Fill.SolidColor.KnownColor = KnownColors.Brown; chart.Series[1].Values = chart.ChartData["C2", "C7"]; chart.Series[1].Fill.FillType = FillFormatType.Solid; chart.Series[1].Fill.SolidColor.KnownColor = KnownColors.Green; chart.Series[2].Values = chart.ChartData["D2", "D7"]; chart.Series[2].Fill.FillType = FillFormatType.Solid; chart.Series[2].Fill.SolidColor.KnownColor = KnownColors.Orange;
Step 7: Set the 3D rotation.
chart.RotationThreeD.XDegree = 10; chart.RotationThreeD.YDegree = 10;
Step 8: Save the document.
presentation.SaveToFile("chart.pptx", FileFormat.Pptx2010);
