import com.aspose.slides.Presentation;
Step 1: Set the Data Directory
Before diving into the core functionality, set the data directory to access your presentation file:
String dataDir = "Your Document Directory";
Step 2: Create Load Options
Instantiate load options to configure how the presentation file will be accessed. In this example, we’re setting the access password to null and enabling loading only document properties:
LoadOptions loadOptions = new LoadOptions();
loadOptions.setPassword(null);
loadOptions.setOnlyLoadDocumentProperties(true);
Step 3: Open the Presentation
Open the presentation file by passing the file path and load options to the constructor of the Presentation class:
Presentation pres = new Presentation(dataDir + "AccessProperties.pptx", loadOptions);
Step 4: Get Document Properties
Retrieve the document properties using the getDocumentProperties() method:
IDocumentProperties docProps = pres.getDocumentProperties();
Step 5: Display Document Properties
Display the desired document properties, such as the name of the application:
System.out.println("Name of Application: " + docProps.getNameOfApplication());
