--- Comment #1 from Rahul <rahul.kr.sharm...@gmail.com> --- Hi I want to create power-point presentation using power-point-template(which may be already exists or may be generated by poi.) for creating power point template file which have a background image in the slides, I write the following code which creates template file which opens in open-office but giving error to opening in Microsoft-power-point. The Code is private static void generatePOTX() throws IOException, FileNotFoundException { String imgPathStr = System.getProperty("user.dir") + "/src/resources/images/TestSameChnl_001_t.jpeg"; File imgFile = new File(imgPathStr); File potxFile = new File(System.getProperty("user.dir") + "/src/resources/Examples/layout.potx"); FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(potxFile); HSLFSlideShow ppt = new HSLFSlideShow(); HSLFSlide slide = ppt.createSlide(); slide.setFollowMasterBackground(false); HSLFFill fill = slide.getBackground().getFill(); HSLFPictureData pd = ppt.addPicture(imgFile, PictureData.PictureType.JPEG); fill.setFillType(HSLFFill.FILL_PICTURE); fill.setPictureData(pd); ppt.write(out); out.close(); } After that I tried to create a PPT file using the generated POTX file but But it's giving error. I am trying bellow code for this. And the code is private static void GeneratePPTXUsingPOTX() throws FileNotFoundException, IOException { File imgFile = new File(System.getProperty("user.dir")+"/src/resources/images/TestSameChnl_001_t.jpeg"); File potx_File = new File(System.getProperty("user.dir") + "/src/resources/Examples/layout.potx" ); File pptx_File = new File(System.getProperty("user.dir") + "/src/resources/Examples/PPTWithTemplate.pptx" ); File movieFile = new File(System.getProperty("user.dir") + "/src/resources/movie/Dummy.mp4"); FileInputStream ins = new FileInputStream(potx_File); FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(pptx_File); HSLFSlideShow ppt = new HSLFSlideShow(ins); List<HSLFSlide> slideList = ppt.getSlides(); int movieIdx = ppt.addMovie(movieFile.getAbsolutePath(), MovieShape.MOVIE_MPEG); HSLFPictureData pictureData = ppt.addPicture(imgFile, PictureData.PictureType.JPEG); MovieShape shape = new MovieShape(movieIdx, pictureData); shape.setAnchor(new java.awt.Rectangle(300,225,420,280)); slideList.get(0).addShape(shape); shape.setAutoPlay(true); ppt.write(out); out.close(); } And the exception which is coming is as fallows: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.poi.hslf.usermodel.HSLFPictureShape.afterInsert(HSLFPictureShape.java:185) at org.apache.poi.hslf.usermodel.HSLFSheet.addShape(HSLFSheet.java:189) I used this code on poi-3.13-20150929.jar as well as poi-3.14-beta1-20151223.jar the latest one and both have the same result. Please suggest me what should I do.
