Hi @tejas.kotharkar

You can use the below code to split the PPT.

' Variables
Dim pptApp As Application = New Application()
Dim presentation As Presentation = pptApp.Presentations.Open("C:\path\to\your\presentation.pptx")
Dim slideIndex As Integer = 1

For Each slide As Slide In presentation.Slides
    ' Create a new presentation for each slide
    Dim newPresentation As Presentation = pptApp.Presentations.Add()
    slide.Copy()
    newPresentation.Slides.Paste(1)
    
    ' Save the new presentation
    Dim newFilePath As String = Path.Combine("C:\path\to\output\folder", "Slide_" & slideIndex & ".pptx")
    newPresentation.SaveAs(newFilePath)
    newPresentation.Close()
    
    slideIndex += 1
Next

' Close the original presentation
presentation.Close()
pptApp.Quit()

Make sure you UiPath.Presentation.Activities dependency installed and GO to Imports Panel and Import Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.

Hope it helps!!

If still cannot open it, can you try the following step?

  • Rename (or remove) project.json
  • Open Main.xaml (Please check if it’s open as Windows project(not Windows legacy)
  • Add UiPath.Presentation.Activiites package v1.13.1 manually via ManagePackage.

I m able to run the script now but there seems to be some issue. its not spliiting or merging as per the requirement.

As its not looping properly.

As i want to split all the slides from a ppt to a certain folder and the split folder should be 1slide 2slide 3slide etc. and this should be a file i.e ppt
