string dataDir = "Your Document Directory";
string outPath = "Your Output Directory";

string outFodpPath = Path.Combine(outPath, "FodpFormatConversion.fodp");

2. Load the FODP Document

Using Aspose.Slides for .NET, we’ll load the FODP document that you want to convert into a PPTX file.

using (Presentation presentation = new Presentation(dataDir + "Example.fodp"))
{
    presentation.Save(outPptxPath, SaveFormat.Pptx);
}

3. Convert to FODP

Now, we’ll convert the newly created PPTX file back to FODP format.

using (Presentation pres = new Presentation(outPptxPath))
{
