Master Slides

[Mauricio Roberto Cruz]

Hi,

Is there any way I can change Master Slides with Syncfusion Presentation? Can't find that in the docs.

Thanks!

Hi again,

As I can't change masters using SyncFusion, I found a Microsoft guide on how to change masters slides in a presentation. Here's the link: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc850846.aspx

The problem I'm having now is that SyncFusion can't open a file that had master slides changed using OpenXML directly, even though I can open it normally (no errors) using PowerPoint.

I'm proving samples in the attached Zip file:

• base_master_slides: Has master slides that I want to apply to a new presentation
• presentation_before:  Presentation that will have its masters replaced
• presentation_after: After running MS code to replace masters, this is the output
  

SyncFusion can't open file "presentation_after.pptx" with "Presentation.Open(filename)", but I can manipulate it normally using Powerpoint.

Tech info from my side in case you can't run MS code sample:

Exception message:

"Object reference not set to an instance of an object".

Stack Trace:

    at Syncfusion.Presentation.FileDataHolder.ParseMasterRelation(MasterSlide masterSlide, String masterPath)
   at Syncfusion.Presentation.FileDataHolder.ParseMasterSlides()
   at Syncfusion.Presentation.FileDataHolder.Read()
   at Syncfusion.Presentation.Presentation.ParseDocument(Stream fileStream)
   at Syncfusion.Presentation.Presentation.Open(String fileName)

   at ReplaceMasters.Form1.btnCreateNewMasterSource_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e) in C:\code\ReplaceMasters\Form1.cs:line 211

Could you please help me on this? I really need to open presentations that had masters replaced with SyncFusion.

Thanks!
-Mauricio
