Convert specific ppt slides to images in linux, Ubuntu & Windows

Convert specific ppt slides to images in linux, Ubuntu & Windows

Hi there!

My name is Shrinivaasan, 19. Heads up to you, this is my first library.

For a project I needed to convert ppt slides to jpg images in a linux instance, but I was surprised to know that there was no package to convert slides into images in Linux & Ubuntu.

Hence decided to create a package myself that will work on linux, ubuntu, windows using just 2 external libraries which are also comaptible with linux & ubuntu

Usage

• pip install ppt2img
• make sure you install python-pptx and download libreoffice

Following have to be installed

Library         Command to install
-------         -----------------
python-pptx      (pip install python-pptx)
libreoffice      (sudo apt install libreoffice or 
                  download it from libreoffice.org)

In version 0.0.1 there is only one function,

ppt2img(inputppt,slideno,outputpath,imgformat,sofficepath)

Expalanation of the function ppt2img()

1. inputppt : Path of source pptx. Should be in quotes like 'C:\Users\Dell\test.pptx'
