Howdy,
Is there a way to convert a layout slide to a PNG? I tried create a new slide using the layout_alias parameter, but it seems like slides_api.create_slide also includes the text (ie not just the blank layout).
P.S. Sorry for the repeat post, I accidentally deleted the first one.
After some more testing, it seems like this api method
resp = slides_api.create_slide(
name=aspose_file_name,
folder=aspose_folder,
layout_alias=layout_alias,
storage=STORAGE,
)
does actually work in most cases. It creates a new slide based on the layout_alias, and removes any static text.
However, it seems like it converts some of the placeholder text (the text that disappears when you click on it) into static text (text that is always there).
Is there a way to preserve placeholder text without converting it?
If it helps, here is an test input file and output file. All I did was call “create_slide” and pass in the layout_alias = 1.
As you can see, the output file has a new slide at the end based on the first slide in the input file.
Regular text has been removed, but some placeholder text has been converted.
