Java - Split PowerPoint Document into Multiple Documents

When splitting a PowerPoint document, you can save each slide out of the original document as a single document, or you can save some slides as one document and the rest as another document. In this article, I am going to show you how to split a PowerPoint document by using Spire.Presentation for Java.

Below is a screenshot of the sample PowerPoint document.

Installing Spire.Presentation.jar

If you create a Maven project, you can easily import the jar in your application using the following configurations. For non-Maven projects, download the jar file from this link and add it as a dependency in your application.

Example 1. Split into multiple one-page documents

import com.spire.presentation.FileFormat;
import com.spire.presentation.Presentation;

public class SplitDocument {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

        //Create a Presentation object
        Presentation presentation = new Presentation();

        //Load a PowerPoint document
        presentation.loadFromFile("C:/Users/Administrator/Desktop/sample.pptx");

        //Declare a Presentation variable
        Presentation newPpt;

        //Loop through the slides of the source document
        for (int i = 0; i < presentation.getSlides().getCount(); i++) {

            //Initialize the Presentation object
            newPpt = new Presentation();
           
            //Remove the default slide
            newPpt.getSlides().removeAt(0);

            //Add the specific slide of the source document to the new PowerPoint document
            newPpt.getSlides().append(presentation.getSlides().get(i));
           
            //Save to file
            newPpt.saveToFile(String.format("C:/Users/Administrator/Desktop/Output/Sub-Document-%d.pptx", i + 1), FileFormat.PPTX_2013);
        }
    }
}

Example 2. Split by page ranges

import com.spire.presentation.FileFormat;
import com.spire.presentation.Presentation;

public class SplitByRanges {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

        //Create a Presentation object
        Presentation presentation = new Presentation();

        //Load a PowerPoint document
        presentation.loadFromFile("C:/Users/Administrator/Desktop/sample.pptx");

        //Create a new PowerPoint document
        Presentation newPpt1 = new Presentation();

        //Remove the default slide
        newPpt1.getSlides().removeAt(0);

        //Add the slide 1 and slide 2 of the source document to the new document
        for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++) {
            newPpt1.getSlides().append(presentation.getSlides().get(i));
        }

        //Save the new document
        newPpt1.saveToFile("Splited-1.pptx", FileFormat.PPTX_2013);

        //Create another document to hold the remaining slides
        Presentation newPpt2 = new Presentation();
        newPpt2.getSlides().removeAt(0);
        for (int j = 2; j < presentation.getSlides().getCount(); j++) {
            newPpt2.getSlides().append(presentation.getSlides().get(j));
        }
        newPpt2.saveToFile("Splited-2.pptx", FileFormat.PPTX_2013);
    }
}
