I would like to develop a class library that could process PowerPoint templates, and populate formatted data. Mainly involving tables, labels, slide cloning. I would like to use Open Xml for this with .Net 4.
I would like some recommendations and references for this. Also would like to know which approach is good, whether to go with OpenXml SDK 2.0 or System.Packaging because I read in some places that using Open Xml SDK consumes bit more memory.
Thanks, Aneef
A good start for me was using the Document Reflector (Reflect Code tool in the Open XML Productivity Tool of SDK 2.5). Load a .pptx and get the C# code to generate that .pptx - so you learn the structure of PresentationML and get an idea where to put the parameters and options you want - it's not easy, but a good start
