Merge PowerPoint Presentations using C#

Let’s follow the steps given below to initiate the concatenation of Microsoft PowerPoint using C# .NET.

  • First, we need to create an object of the Configuration class.
  • Secondly, set client credentials to a Configuration instance.
  • Thirdly, create an object of SlidesApi while passing the configuration object as an argument.
  • The next step is to create an object of PresentationsMergeRequest class and pass an array of PowerPoint presentations to be merged.
  • Finally, call the Merge(…) method of SlidesApi class, to combine PowerPoint presentations and save the output to original input PowerPoint.

Combine PPTX using cURL Commands

The REST APIs can be accessed via cURL commands on any platform. So in this section, we are going to explore the details of how we can combine PowerPoint online using the cURL commands. So, the first step is to create a JWT access token based on your client credentials. Now, please execute the following command to generate the JWT token.

curl -v "https://api.aspose.cloud/connect/token" \
-X POST \
-d "grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=bbf94a2c-6d7e-4020-b4d2-b9809741374e&client_secret=1c9379bb7d701c26cc87e741a29987bb" \
-H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
-H "Accept: application/json"

Once we have the access token, please execute the following command to load PowerPoint presentations from cloud storage and combine PowerPoints into one unified file.

curl -X POST "https://api.aspose.cloud/v3.0/slides/test-unprotected-old.pptx/merge" \
-H  "accept: application/json" \
-H  "authorization: Bearer <JWT Token>" \
-H  "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d "{  \"PresentationPaths\": [    \"test-unprotected.pptx\",\"Resultant.pptx\"  ]}"
