Convert PDF to Images with Transparent Background
- Create an object of PdfDocument class.
- Load a sample PDF document using PdfDocument.loadFromFile() method.
- Specify the transparent value for the background of the resulted images using PdfDocument.getConvertOptions().setPdfToImageOptions() method.
- Save the document to images using PdfDocument.saveAsImage() method.
- Java
import com.spire.pdf.*;
import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.io.File;
public class PdftoImage {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
//Create an object of PdfDocument class.
PdfDocument pdf = new PdfDocument();
//Load the sample PDF document
pdf.loadFromFile("Sample.pdf");
//Specify the background transparent value as 0 during PDF to image conversion.
pdf.getConvertOptions().setPdfToImageOptions(0);
//Save PDF to .png image
BufferedImage image = pdf.saveAsImage(0);
File file = new File( String.format("ToImage.png"));
ImageIO.write(image, "PNG", file);

When creating a new table in PowerPoint, the rows and columns are evenly distributed by default. As you insert data into the table cells, the row heights and column widths will be automatically adjusted to fit with the contents. To make the table nicely organized, you may want to re-distribute the rows and columns. This article demonstrates how to accomplish this task in C# and VB.NET using Spire.Presentation for .NET.
Install Spire.Presentation for .NET
To begin with, you need to add the DLL files included in the Spire.Presentation for.NET package as references in your .NET project. The DLL files can be either downloaded from this link or installed via NuGet.
PM> Install-Package Spire.Presentation
Distribute Table Rows and Columns
The following are the steps to distribute table rows and columns evenly in PowerPoint.
- Create a Presentation object, and load the sample PowerPoint document using Presentation.LoadFromFile() method.
- Get the first slide through Presentation.Slides[0] property.
- Loop through the shapes in the first slide, and determine if a certain shape is a table. If yes, convert the shape to an ITable object.
- Distribute the table rows and columns using ITable.DistributeRows() method and ITable.DistributeColumns() method, respectively.
- Save the changes to another file using Presentation.SaveToFile() method.
- C#
- VB.NET
using Spire.Presentation;
namespace DistributeRowsAndColumns
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
//Create a Presentation instance
Presentation presentation = new Presentation();
//Load the PowerPoint document
presentation.LoadFromFile(@"C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\Table.pptx");
//Get the first slide
ISlide slide = presentation.Slides[0];
//Loop through the shapes
for (int i = 0; i < slide.Shapes.Count; i++)
{
//Determine if a shape is table
if (slide.Shapes[i] is ITable)
{
//Get the table in the slide
ITable table = (ITable)slide.Shapes[i];
//Distribute table rows
table.DistributeRows(0, table.TableRows.Count-1);
//Distribute table columns
table.DistributeColumns(0, table.ColumnsList.Count-1);
}
}
//Save the result to file
presentation.SaveToFile("DistributeRowsAndColumns.pptx", FileFormat.Pptx2013);
}
}
}
Imports Spire.Presentation
Namespace DistributeRowsAndColumns
Class Program
Shared Sub Main(ByVal args() As String)
'Create a Presentation instance
Dim presentation As Presentation = New Presentation()
'Load the PowerPoint document
presentation.LoadFromFile("C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\Table.pptx")
'Get the first slide
Dim slide As ISlide = presentation.Slides(0)
'Loop through the shapes
Dim i As Integer
For i = 0 To slide.Shapes.Count- 1 Step i + 1
'Determine if a shape is table
If TypeOf slide.Shapes(i) Is ITable Then
'Get the table in the slide
Dim table As ITable = CType(slide.Shapes(i), ITable)
'Distribute table rows
table.DistributeRows(0, table.TableRows.Count-1)
'Distribute table columns
table.DistributeColumns(0, table.ColumnsList.Count-1)
End If
Next
'Save the result to file
presentation.SaveToFile("DistributeRowsAndColumns.pptx", FileFormat.Pptx2013)
End Sub
End Class
End Namespace
