Merge 2 different presentations

[claremont-awilson]

I'm trying to merge 2 simple presentations together with the following code:

prs1 = Presentation(ppt1_filepath)
prs2 = Presentation(ppt2_filepath)
for slide in prs2.slides:
    sl = prs1.slides.add_slide(prs1.slide_layouts[1])
    sl.shapes.title.text = slide.shapes.title.text
    sl.placeholders[1].text = slide.placeholders[1].text
prs1.save(ppt3_filepath)

Which I found here.

Unfortunately all of the slides in each presentation are built from the blank layout, and from what I've found in previous issues, does not have a title attribute, so the above just errors out.

>>> slide.shapes.title.text Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'text'

Each slide just contains images and a couple of text boxes.

I was wondering if there's a way to achieve this? I don't need the slides in any order, I'd quite like to just append presentation 2 to the end of 1.

Not really answering your question but - if you have access to the following - VBA or AppleScript might be better tools for the job. (I've done the latter in the past and I would be almost certain it could be done with the former.)

python-pptx does not provide the ability to combine slides from different presentation. Read this https://github.com/scanny/python-pptx/issues/132.

Try officejs , aspose or powerpointgeneratorapi.com, you can import slides from different presentations into one.
