Asposeslides

Aspose slides is a gem that helps you use the aspose slides for JAVA (http://docs.aspose.com:8082/docs/display/slidesjava/Product+Overview) library from within your ruby/rails project.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'asposeslides'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install asposeslides

Usage : Rails app

• Create a file aspose.yml under app/config folder. This file specifies the path to your aspose slides for Java path. Put the following lines in that file:

development:
  jar_dir: /path/to/your/asposeslides/jars/directory
test:
  jar_dir: /path/to/your/asposeslides/jars/directory

• Next you need to initialize the aspose library. Aspose is a paid library and therefor you need to buy the appropriate license and provide the path to the licensed java library to initialize the gem.
• Create a file called aspose.rb under the initializer app/config/initializers folder. Put the following lines in the file

Asposeslides.configure_aspose_slides YAML.load(File.read('config/aspose.yml'))[Rails.env]

• Now is the time to include the required files for working with the powerpoint presentations. Following is an example of merging 2 presentations into one:

require 'asposeslides'
include Asposeslides
include Asposeslides::Powerpoint
initialize_aspose
dest_ppt = File.join('dest_template.pptx')
src_ppt1 = File.join('src_template1.pptx')
src_ppt2 = File.join('src_template2.pptx')
merged_ppt = merge_ppts(dest_ppt, [{:ppt => src_ppt1, :position => 2, :replace => true}, {:ppt => src_ppt2, :position => 5, :replace => true}])
merged_ppt.save("merged.pptx",3)
