How to Convert ODP to PPTX in Node.JS

Format conversion can quickly go from a convenience to an enormous hassle if you try to code this feature yourself. I propose that instead of burning through your afternoon in this pursuit, there is a much easier approach, which I will detail for you now.

To make this incredibly easy, we will use a Cloudmersive API to get things rolling. To get started, we will install its client first.

npm install cloudmersive-convert-api-client --save

Now it’s only a matter of calling convertDocumentOdpToPptx, as you can see below.

var CloudmersiveConvertApiClient = require('cloudmersive-convert-api-client');
var defaultClient = CloudmersiveConvertApiClient.ApiClient.instance;
// Configure API key authorization: Apikey
var Apikey = defaultClient.authentications['Apikey'];
Apikey.apiKey = 'YOUR API KEY';
// Uncomment the following line to set a prefix for the API key, e.g. "Token" (defaults to null)
//Apikey.apiKeyPrefix = 'Token';
var apiInstance = new CloudmersiveConvertApiClient.ConvertDocumentApi();
var inputFile = "/path/to/file"; // File | Input file to perform the operation on.
var callback = function(error, data, response) {
if (error) {
console.error(error);
} else {
console.log('API called successfully. Returned data: ' + data);
}
};
apiInstance.convertDocumentOdpToPptx(inputFile, callback);

And there you have it! Easy.
