使用openXML创建模板演示文稿“.potx”的副本到新的“.pptx”

Question

I have a powerpoint template with .potx extension, i need to create a copy of the template file, but the created file does not have any content present in it, it is a blank presentation, below is the function i am using to create a destination file using template file.

    /// <summary>
    /// Creates a copy of the source template file
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="sourceFile">sourcce file which has to be copied</param>
    /// <param name="destinationFile">destination file where the new file has to be placed.</param>
       public static void CreateFileFromTemplate(this string sourceFile, string destinationFile)
    {
        try
        {
            //File.Copy(sourceFile, destinationFile, true);
            if (System.IO.Path.GetExtension(sourceFile) == ".potx")
            {
                if (System.IO.Path.GetExtension(destinationFile) == ".potx")
                {
                    PresentationDocument destinationDoc = PresentationDocument.Create(destinationFile, PresentationDocumentType.Presentation);
                    PresentationPart presentationPart = destinationDoc.AddPresentationPart();
                    presentationPart.Presentation = new Presentation();
                    presentationPart.Presentation.Save();
                    destinationDoc.Close();
                    //Package destinationPackage = Package.Open(destinationFile, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.ReadWrite);
                    using (destinationDoc = PresentationDocument.Open(destinationFile, true))
                    {
                        Package templatePackage = Package.Open(sourceFile, FileMode.Open);
                        using (PresentationDocument templateDocument = PresentationDocument.Open(templatePackage))
                        {
                            PresentationPart sourcePresPart = templateDocument.PresentationPart;
                            PresentationPart destinationPresrPart = destinationDoc.PresentationPart;
                            //var templateSlideCount = templateDocument.CountSlides();
                            //for (int slides = 1; slides <= templateSlideCount; slides++)
                            //{

                            //}
                            SlidePart sourceSlidePart;
                            SlidePart destinationSlidePart;
                            foreach (SlideId slideId in sourcePresPart.Presentation.SlideIdList)
                            {
                                //int i=0;

                                sourceSlidePart = (SlidePart)sourcePresPart.GetPartById(slideId.RelationshipId);
                                destinationSlidePart = sourceSlidePart.Clone();
                                SlideIdList slideIdList = destinationPresrPart.Presentation.SlideIdList;

                                destinationPresrPart.AddPart(destinationSlidePart);
                                // Save the modified presentation.
                                destinationPresrPart.Presentation.Save();
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }
                else
                {
                    throw new FileFormatException("Invalid destination file format, Valid file should have .pptx as extension");
                }
            }
            else
            {
                throw new FileFormatException("Invalid file format, Valid file should have .potx as extension");
            }
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            throw;
        }
    }

        }
        return slidePartClone;
    }

in my main method i have below code which calls these functions to create the ppt

 string sourceFilePath =@"C:\TempFolder\template.potx";
 string destinationFilePath = @"C:\TempFolder\ClonedFile.potx";
 sourceFilePath.CreateFileFromTemplate(destinationFilePath);

but the final created ppt will not have any slides in it,

any help would be appreciated

I posted a similar answer before on saving an excel template to an actual excel document here and you should be able to apply the same logic with a power point template. Instead of the SpreadsheetDocument you will want to use the PresentationDocument and call ChangeDocumentType on it. Something along these lines:

byte[] byteArray = File.ReadAllBytes("C:\\temp\\sa123.potx");
using (MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream())
{
    stream.Write(byteArray, 0, (int)byteArray.Length);
    using (PresentationDocument presentationDoc = PresentationDocument.Open(stream, true))
    {
       // Change from template type to presentation type
       presentationDoc.ChangeDocumentType(PresentationDocumentType.Presentation);
    }
    File.WriteAllBytes("C:\\temp\\sa123.pptx", stream.ToArray()); 
}

You can then reopen that saved file and do whatever extra stuff you want to it without touching the template file.
