WPS/PowerPoint Automation (Windows)

Use the bundled Python script to control PowerPoint or WPS Presentation via COM.

Requirements

• Windows with Microsoft PowerPoint or WPS Presentation installed.
• Python + pywin32 (python -m pip install pywin32).

Quick start

python {baseDir}/scripts/wps_ppt_automation.py read --input "C:\path\file.pptx"
python {baseDir}/scripts/wps_ppt_automation.py export --input "C:\path\file.pptx" --format pdf --output "C:\path\out.pdf"

Commands

read

Extract all slide text.

python {baseDir}/scripts/wps_ppt_automation.py read --input "C:\path\file.pptx" --output "C:\path\out.txt"

notes

Extract speaker notes.

python {baseDir}/scripts/wps_ppt_automation.py notes --input "C:\path\file.pptx" --output "C:\path\notes.txt"

outline

Export slide titles as outline.

python {baseDir}/scripts/wps_ppt_automation.py outline --input "C:\path\file.pptx" --output "C:\path\outline.txt"

export

Export to PDF or images (PNG).

python {baseDir}/scripts/wps_ppt_automation.py export --input "C:\path\file.pptx" --format pdf --output "C:\path\out.pdf"
python {baseDir}/scripts/wps_ppt_automation.py export --input "C:\path\file.pptx" --format images --outdir "C:\out\slides"

replace

Find/replace text across slides.

python {baseDir}/scripts/wps_ppt_automation.py replace --input "C:\path\file.pptx" --find "old" --replace "new" --save "C:\path\out.pptx"

slides

Insert or delete slides.

python {baseDir}/scripts/wps_ppt_automation.py insert-slide --input "C:\path\file.pptx" --index 2 --save "C:\path\out.pptx"
python {baseDir}/scripts/wps_ppt_automation.py delete-slide --input "C:\path\file.pptx" --index 3 --save "C:\path\out.pptx"

font

Unify font name/size across slides.

python {baseDir}/scripts/wps_ppt_automation.py font --input "C:\path\file.pptx" --name "Microsoft YaHei" --size 20 --save "C:\path\out.pptx"

theme

Apply a theme (.thmx).

python {baseDir}/scripts/wps_ppt_automation.py theme --input "C:\path\file.pptx" --theme "C:\path\theme.thmx" --save "C:\path\out.pptx"

extract-images

Export embedded images.

python {baseDir}/scripts/wps_ppt_automation.py extract-images --input "C:\path\file.pptx" --outdir "C:\out\images"

Notes

• If WPS is installed, try --app wps; otherwise default uses PowerPoint.
• Use --visible true if you need to watch the UI.
• Avoid batch usage; this skill is for single-presentation operations.
