Merging several Pptx

Hello

I am testing the professional version of the software which contains the pptxMerger.
On the web based version available on the site, the merging of several files with different styles work with no problem. However when I used the program myself (I am talking about the samples that come with the test version) it generates a file which is not readable (read: broken).

I would expect to at least have the same results on both cases.

I am not sure if this can be caused due to the fact that there are dependencies like "docx4j" version "3.1.1-SNAPSHOT" that are not available at the central repository (had to use 3.1.0).

Can anyone shed some light on this matter?
I would appreciate it.

Flavio

docx4j v3.1.0 should be fine.

So I can understand what you are seeing, could you please state/attach:

- what code you were running

- if you are using input pptx other than the samples, what they are (you can email them to support@plutext.com)

- the resulting pptx so I can see what Word doesn't like about it

- what jars you have on your classpath (docx4j 3.1.0 and its maven deps, I assume, plus the trial jar)

-the version of Word you are testing with

By the way, as of today, the trial download has updated pptx code, which is more memory efficient, and new corresponding samples/documentation.

cheers .. Jason

I sent an email with the files I have used to test the code.
I am writing this a support for future problems and hope it can help someone.

• I am running the code called “MergeWholePresentations.java” (attached) which was part of the samples file I received.
• I have problems, in my understanding, whenever I try to merge presentations which have different styles. I was expecting to receive a “rebranded” output based on the first input.
• I am using the Office 2013 version 32-bit.
• I am using the trial jar plus all the dependencies, which are also managed through maven (which I am using).

Cheers
