Delete Slides from Presentation using Apache POI and Aspose.Slides

Aspose.Slides - Delete Slides from Presentation

Sometimes, developers may need to remove a slide from the presentation due to any reason. Aspose.Slides for Java offers few methods to do so. 

We know that Presentation class in Aspose.Slides for Java represents a presentation file. Presentation class encapsulates a ISlideCollection that acts as a repository of all slides that are the part of the presentation. Developers can remove a slide from this Slides collection in two ways:

  • Using Slide Reference
  • Using Slide Index
//Instantiate a PresentationEx object that represents a PPTX file
Presentation pres = new Presentation("presentation.pptx");

pres.getSlides().removeAt(1); //Removing a slide using its index

//Accessing a slide using its index in the slides collection
ISlide slide = pres.getSlides().get_Item(0);

pres.getSlides().remove(slide); //Removing a slide using its reference

Apache POI SL - HSLF XSLF - Delete Slides from Presentation

Slides can be deleted by calling removeSlide from the presentation and passing the index of the slide to be deleted while using Apache POI SL.
