I want to save each slide in a powerpoint-file into seperate powerpoint-files, as well as store png images of each slide. In the end I want to create an archive of individual unique slides, so that all slides that are shown on some info screens are stored in this archive. This is what I have to far:
function exportSingleSlides(pathname, filename){
var app = new ActiveXObject("PowerPoint.Application");
app.Visible = true;
// Open the presentation
var presentation = app.Presentations.Open(pathname+filename, true);
var tmpPresentation; // Used to store a new presentation for each slide.
var e = new Enumerator(presentation.Slides);
var slide;
e.moveFirst();
var i = 0;
while (!e.atEnd()) {
i++;
slide = e.item(); // gets this slide
// Export slide to png
slide.Export(pathname + 'slide' + (i < 10 ? '0' + i : i) + '.png', 'PNG', 1920, 1080);
// Open new presentation
tmpPresentation = app.Presentations.Add();
// Copy current slide and paste into new presentation
slide.Copy();
tmpPresentation.Slides.Paste(1);
tmpPresentation.SaveAs(pathname + 'slide' + (i < 10 ? '0' + i : i));
tmpPresentation.Close();
e.moveNext();
}
// Close the presentation. (But how do I close powerpoint entirely?)
presentation.Close();
app.Quit();
}
// Which file are we looking at?
var pathname = 'C:\\Users\\Stian\\Dropbox\\jobb\\RB\\powerpoint parser\\';
var filename = 'test.pptx';
exportSingleSlides(pathname, filename);
This saves the slides to png as I want, and it also saves each slide as it's own powerpoint-file. But it's not copying it as it should. I think it might be missing the template, because headers and footers aren't included in the new copy. I'm using the powerpoint developer reference pages, but I can't seem to find a good way to copy/duplicate a slide as-is. Any suggestions?
