Ppt2fig Export

Export specific pages from PPT, PPTX, or ODP files to cropped PDF via ppt2fig. Use when the user wants to convert presentation slides into paper-ready PDF figures, specify a file path and page range, compare LibreOffice/WPS/PowerPoint export backends, or rerun a saved export workflow. Prefer this skill when `ppt2fig`, `ppt2fig-cli`, or this repo's `dist/ppt2fig-cli.exe` is available. Use when this capability is needed.

File contents

Use ppt2fig to export slide pages to PDF.

Workflow:

Confirm the source presentation path exists.
Decide the page selection string. Examples: 1, 2, 1,3,5-7
Decide the backend. Defaults:
- Use auto by default.
- Let the program choose the best available backend unless the user explicitly asks for a specific one.
- Only force libreoffice, wps, or powerpoint when the user has a clear backend preference or needs a comparison.
Decide whether to crop.
- Use default cropping for paper figures.
- Use --no-crop only when the user explicitly wants original margins.
Run the command.
Return the output PDF path and any backend-specific notes.

Preferred commands:

ppt2fig "/abs/path/input.pptx" --pages 2 -o "/abs/path/output.pdf"
ppt2fig "/abs/path/input.pptx" --pages 1,3,5-7
ppt2fig "/abs/path/input.pptx" --pages 2 --backend wps
ppt2fig "/abs/path/input.pptx" --pages 2 --backend powerpoint --powerpoint-intent print

If ppt2fig is not on PATH, try:

ppt2fig-cli "/abs/path/input.pptx" --pages 2 -o "/abs/path/output.pdf"

If the binary is installed by OpenClaw or ClawHub, the helper script will first look in ~/.openclaw/tools/ppt2fig-export/ for the downloaded GitHub Release executable. If that is not present, it falls back to PATH, then to python -m ppt2fig:

python "{baseDir}/scripts/run_ppt2fig.py" "/abs/path/input.pptx" --pages 2 -o "/abs/path/output.pdf"

Behavior notes:

auto backend priority is LibreOffice > WPS > PowerPoint.
--list-backends prints what the current machine can use.
Page numbers are 1-based.
Output defaults to <input>.pages_<page-spec>.pdf when -o is omitted.
If the user does not explicitly request a backend, keep the default auto.
PowerPoint image quality is limited by Microsoft's export API; --powerpoint-intent print only matters when the user explicitly chooses the PowerPoint backend.

Useful checks:

ppt2fig --list-backends
ppt2fig "/abs/path/input.pptx" --pages 999

Use the second command only when you need to validate page count or explain an out-of-range error.
