PresentationBuilder doesn't add slide about clippit HOT 6 CLOSED

PresentationBuilder is not designed to work with already opened PresentationDocument.
Original implementation rely on assumption that you always create new PresentationDocument using SlideSource.

You may want to take a look at FluentPresentationBuilder that wrap target PresentationDocument and provided API like AppendSlides

PresentationDocument that is released in 1.5.0-beta* packages uses FluentPresentationBuilder internally. But IIRC, it is may be slightly not ready for use case. It works well (even in production 😊) when FluentPresentationBuilder wrap empty presentation at the beginning, but it still not fully-enumerate internals of PresentationDocument that it wraps.

P.S. As workaround you always can create 3rd PresentationDocument and copy there slides from sourcePreDoc and from outputDoc.

Looks like FluentPresentationBuilder.AppendSlides() also rely on that PresentationDocument instance passed in constructor is empty.

Will see some workaround.

Why do not you like workaround to create 3rd PresentationDocument and copy all slides there?

For example, I wanna copy only the first slide from test1.pptx into test2.pptx. With this approach, I will touch one slide from the first presentation and all slides from the second. Even without considering performance issue, I think the chance of corruption is high.

In other words, you know that moving slide to an external presentation with its all references (layout, master, theme, chart, etc) is a tricky part, hence I'd like to avoid extra touching those references.

Today I made some implementation and it works for simple cases, but I do not know where it might go off 😐

I think the issue should be closed since PresentationBuilder designed as a builder that creates slides deck from scratch, as mentioned above.
