How to Apply or Remove Protection on PPTX Shapes inside .NET Applications
This technical tip explains how .NET developers can apply and remove protection to presentation. A common use for Aspose.Slides is to create, update and save Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 (PPTX) presentations as part of an automated workflow. Users of the application that uses Aspose.Slides this way get access to the output presentations. Protecting them from editing is a common concern. It is important that auto-generated presentations retain their original formatting and content. A common use for Aspose.Slides is to create, update and save Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 (PPTX) presentations as part of an automated workflow.
