Hi Poornima,
OK, since you want it right now here it is:
//source ppt
String srcppt; //path to the source presentation
SlideShow src = new SlideShow(new HSLFSlideShow(srcppt));
//target ppt to copy slides to.
// In this example it is a new ppt but you can add slides to existing
one.
SlideShow tgt = new SlideShow();
Slide[] sl = src.getSlides(); //get slides
for (int i = 0; i < sl.length; i++) {
Slide slide = tgt.createSlide(); //create a slide to copy shapes to
//copy shapes from the source ppt
Shape[] sh = sl[i].getShapes();
for (int j = 0; j < sh.length; j++) {
slide.addShape(sh[j]);
}
}
OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream("merged.ppt");
tgt.write(out);
out.close();
This code is new, it was commited a month ago and most likely there
are bugs. Text formatting may not be preserved fully. Complex shapes
like tables may not work.
The example above is just a demonstration of capabilities (a
technology preview). There are lots of undone stuff.
Let me know if you have problems with a particular type of shape.
