Drive the SDK over COM from native C++ - ideal for embedding into existing Windows desktop products.

PHP PHP Code

Use the DOTNET class to instantiate the SDK and call the conversion. Update Version and PublicKeyToken to match your installed DigitalOfficePro.Html5PointSdk.dll.

// **********************************************************************
$objPresentationConverter = new DOTNET(
    "DigitalOfficePro.Html5PointSdk, Version=1.2.8.2, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=5e90c5baa3624fc1",
    "DigitalOfficePro.Html5PointSdk.PresentationConverter"
);

$presentationPath = "C:\\Test\\input.pptx";
$outputPath       = "C:\\Test\\output.html";

$objPresentationConverter->OpenPresentation($presentationPath);
$objPresentationConverter->Convert($outputPath);
$objPresentationConverter->ClosePresentation();
// **********************************************************************

// Locate your installed DLL at:
//   C:\Program Files (x86)\DigitalOfficePro\HTML5PointSDK\Include\DigitalOfficePro.Html5PointSdk.dll
// then update Version and PublicKeyToken accordingly:
$objPresentationConverter = new DOTNET(
    "DigitalOfficePro.Html5PointSdk, Version=<your-version>, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=<your-token>",
    "DigitalOfficePro.Html5PointSdk.PresentationConverter"
);

PY Python Code

You'll need IronPython to call .NET SDK components from Python.

1. Download and install IronPython.
2. Start Python by running ipy.exe from the IronPython install folder.
3. Copy DigitalOfficePro.Html5PointSDK.dll to %ironPython-installpath%/Dlls.
4. Run the following code in the Python interface:

# Simple python converter
import clr

# Before calling the following function copy
# DigitalOfficePro.Html5PointSDK.dll to %ironPython installpath%/Dlls
clr.AddReference("DigitalOfficePro.HTML5PointSDK")
# clr.AddReferenceToFile("DigitalOfficePro.Html5PointSDK.dll")

from DigitalOfficePro import *
import DigitalOfficePro
import DigitalOfficePro.Html5PointSdk
from DigitalOfficePro.Html5PointSdk import *

converter = PresentationConverter()
converter.OpenPresentation("e:\\test.pptx")
converter.Convert("e:\\output.html")
converter.ClosePresentation()
