Aspose.Newsletter December 2012 Edition is Out Now

PRLog (Press Release) - Dec. 4, 2012 - Aspose Newsletter for December 2012 has now been published that highlights all the newly supported features offered in the recent releases of its JasperReports exporters, SQL Server rendering extensions, .NET, Java & SharePoint components. This month’s technical article shows migration to Aspose.Slides for Java 3.0.0 & a migration tip for finding and replacing Text with Aspose.Slides for .NET vs VSTO. The video tutorial shows how to merge two presentations with Aspose.Slides for Java.

If you’ve been visiting Aspose.com recently you’ll know that we released Aspose.Slides for Java 3.0.0 last month. This is the first version of Aspose.Slides for Java that’s been autoported from Aspose.Slides for .NET. We, and many of our customers, are excited about this release because it brings a host of new features to our Java users: printing presentations, PPT to PPTX conversion and support for charts, to mention some. From now on, we’ll match each Aspose.Slides for .NET release with an Aspose.Slides for Java release. Our .NET and Java customers get the same features at the same time. It is a great step forward for our users and it’s great for us too: we only have one code base to maintain so we can focus on new features.

Migration Tip – Finding and Replacing Text with Aspose.Slides for .NET vs VSTO  

Sometimes, you might need to find text in a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation and replace it with a new string. Say, for example, that the name of a department changes, or a key member of staff is replaced. Instead of manually correcting every instance of a word or name, you can do it programmatically, saving time and effort. You can use VSTO but we recommend freeing yourself from Microsoft Automation and using Aspose.Slides for .NET instead.  Read the complete migration tip here: http://www.aspose.com/docs/display/slidesnet/Find+and+Replace+Text+without+Losing+Format+in+Presentation+using+VSTO+and+Aspose.Slides+for+.NET
