Hi, thanks for the great sample.
Could please help me to get font name, of text of each slides?

@SaharNasiri I think this example will help you: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/poi/trunk/src/examples/src/org/apache/poi/xslf/usermodel/tutorial/Step1.java

thanks a lot

Hi Do you have reference for how to embed font inside .pptx file

Very helpful, really appreciate you sharing this.

Thanks adam for writing this & showing sample code to work with apache poi ppt files.
I am right now working on writing simple prog to compare two ppt files . I have used apache poi & was able to fetch shapes of slide using getShapes() . Now since my ppt contains images , shape is of XSLFPictureShape type. Can you tell me how should I compare these XSLFPictureShape objects .

Thanks
