I’ve went all over the documentation and couldn’t really find an answer for this - does aspose.slides include any way to extract only the speaker notes from a slide? Preferably as HTML or some other output that can keep any formatting intact (bullet points, numbered lists, bold, italic, etc).
What I’ve tried in the cloud API so far:
-
Converting to PDF with notes:
The notes convert nicely along with the slide, but there’s no way to convert just them, without the slide. -
Reading “notes slide info”:
Just gets the text with all formatting removed, inconsistently. Sometimes a “(1)” remains, sometimes doesn’t, etc. -
Converting the notes slide to an image (
/slides/slides/{slideIndex}/notesSlide/{format}
):
This seems to convert the whole slide and not just the notes. Not sure what is the point of this API compared to/slides/slides/{slideIndex}/{format}
which basically does the same thing with more output formats. -
Converting to HTML/HTML5 with notes:
As mentioned in my other post, this doesn’t seem to work currently. I was thinking maybe I could convert to HTML and extract just the HTML for the notes from the output. But since I can’t get it to output with notes, that’s not an option right now.
Is there anything else in the API that I’m missing and could get me the output I want?
Or is there some SDK-only feature that could help me achieve this?
I’ve opened a few issues in the past 24 hours but this one is my main reason for considering aspose.slides in the first place. I want to be able to extract slides and notes from a pptx and embed them on a website separately. Which is why a single PDF with the slide and the notes isn’t enough.
Thanks in advance.
