I played a bit around and tried out three ways to serialize the records
to binary file:
- SlideShow.getMostRecentCoreRecords[i].writeOut(out);
- HSLFSlideShow.getRecords[i].writeOut(out);
- reading the docstream like its done in PPTXMLDump.java
[poifs.createDocumentInputStream("PowerPoint Document").read(docstream)]
then serialize docstream;
After loading the docstream and rebuilding the poifs, i want to create a
new SlideShow.
All three ending in "java.lang.RuntimeException: Creation support for
Current User Atom not complete".
However i can use the poifs.writeFilesystem to pruduce a (tested only
with few ppts) perfect clone. (Not working with
getMostRecentCoreRecords..., rebuild cant be opened...)
Thats how i rebuild the ppt:
fs = new POIFSFileSystem();
fsorg = new POIFSFileSystem(path to org ppt);
fin = new FileInputStream(path to records file);
fs.getRoot().createDocument("PowerPoint Document", fin);
ppt = new SlideShow(new HSLFSlideShow(fs.getRoot, fs));
I need to work with (user)models... What else must i serialize to get it
working?
Is it possible only to save the most recent records to save some disk
space and to avoid problems with CurrentUserAtoms and
PersistIncrementalBlocks?
I want to save the ppt in a db. But i cant just copy all binary data
into the db, i need some more abstract level, and as i didnt get good
results with the (user)models i want to use the record level now to dump
the ppt and then transform the records to models after i loaded them.

Could you give me some information on how i can rebuild the ppt of the
binary data records stream.
I thought that i only save the most recent records due to disk space
and so i dont have to handle with the PersistIncBlock-Stuff. Is this
idea right and do i have all necesary data to rebuild exactly the same
ppt in the most recent recs?

For example the PPTXMLDump.java from you, Yegor, does it generate a
xml file with all necesary data to rebuild the presentation?
Yes, it generates all necessary data to rebuild the presentation.
Suppose you serialize root records and want to assemble a ppt from
them. A typical structure of records is as follows:
- Document
- MainMaster
- Slide1
- Slide2
...
- Slide N
- PersistIncrementalBlock
- UserEditAtom
The tricky part is PersistIncrementalBlock. For each root record it
maps the record offset and persistId. In its turn, persistId is
referenced in Document.SlideListWithText.SlidePersistAtom. If you
assemble a ppt from slides from different slide shows you need to
make sure Document.SlideListWithText and PersistIncrementalBlock match.

Generally speaking, your rebuilt ppt will always be lossy. You have
to rebuilt the master sheet too but for now masters are read-only -
HSLF can read from master sheets but can't modify them.
There are three important pieces of data to preserve:
(a) Anchor - defines position of a shape in the slide:
Rectangle2D anchor = shape.getAnchor2D();
(b) Text properties, the ones returned by RichTextRun getters.
(c) basic shape properties, aka "Escher" properties.
The code below demonstrates how to copy Escher properties from one
shape to another :
Map<Integer, Integer> shapeProps = new HashMap();
org.apache.poi.hslf.model.Shape srcShape = ....; // source
shape
EscherOptRecord opt =
(EscherOptRecord)srcShape.getEscherChild(srcShape.getSpContainer(),
EscherOptRecord.RECORD_ID);
for (Iterator it = opt.getEscherProperties().iterator();
it.hasNext(); ) {
Object p = it.next();
if(p instanceof EscherSimpleProperty){
EscherSimpleProperty sp = (EscherSimpleProperty)p;
int propId = sp.getId();
int propValue = sp.getPropertyValue();
shapeProps.put(propId, propValue);
} else {
//for simplicity skip complex and array properties
}
}
//rebuilding presentation
org.apache.poi.hslf.model.Shape tgtShape = ...; //target shape
for (Iterator<Integer> it = shapeProps.keySet().iterator();
it.hasNext(); ) {
int propId = it.next();
int propValue = shapeProps.get(propId);
tgtShape.setEscherProperty((short)propId, propValue);
}

Hi all,
i wrote a programm that iterates over all slides of a presentation
and saves all the data of its elements (raw text of
TextBoxes/AutoShapes, binary data of Pictures, etc) in some other
place.
now i want to "rebuild" the presentation with those elements.
So my question is what fields/objects must i save that the
rebuilded presentation looks like the original one?
For now, im just talking about TextBoxes and AutoShapes, but i
dont mind any answer that helps with other Shape-objects too :)
When i save all the fields from my RichTextRun and Shape-objects i
have getter/setter-Methods for (eg. fontname/size, bold, italic...
margin, alignment...) it doesnt look the same.
if i write my original created SlideShow-object out to the
filesystem, it looks like the original presenation... So i think i
just miss to save some fields...
Maybe theres a way to marshal/unmarshal the objects needed to
format the presentation, so i dont have to handle with alot of
fields...
Since i dont know alot about mastersheets and i read that POI dont
know much either, i dont know what can be handled through it...
greetings,
Felix
