Import Packages

In this step, we’ll import the necessary packages to kickstart our Aspose.Slides journey:

import com.aspose.slides.IDocumentProperties;
import com.aspose.slides.LoadOptions;
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());
