How to validate a PowerPoint PPTX Presentation in Salesforce Apex

File validation is a great tool to have around, but let’s face it: you probably don’t want to set the whole thing up yourself. That’s why we have a much easier solution for you today, an API.

Let’s get started by downloading and unzipping our Apex API client. Then drag the /client folder into your project.

Now that our client is available, we can proceed to invoke the validateDocumentPptxValidation function.

SwagValidateDocumentApi api = new SwagValidateDocumentApi();
SwagClient client = api.getClient();
// Configure API key authorization: Apikey
ApiKeyAuth Apikey = (ApiKeyAuth) client.getAuthentication('Apikey');
Apikey.setApiKey('YOUR API KEY');
Map<String, Object> params = new Map<String, Object>{
'inputFile' => Blob.valueOf('Sample text file\nContents')
};
try {
// cross your fingers
SwagDocumentValidationResult result = api.validateDocumentPptxValidation(params);
System.debug(result);
} catch (Swagger.ApiException e) {
// ...handle your exceptions
}

Well, that was easy. Our function will kick back whether the file is valid, and if not, provide a list of errors (guaranteed problems) and warnings (potential problems.
