TL;TR

I need a pure js library to open a pptx template and edit some text fields.

Full post:

I am facing a problem and I am sure you will know the best aproach.

I am running a Spring Boot webpage which only has the home endpoint which returns the html template with js scripts. In that page, the javascript runs to calculate some data and there is a button called "generate pptx".

At this point the best idea is to use the pptxgenjs library but it has a problem:

Unimplemented features:

Importing Existing Presentations and/or Templates

What I really need is to open a template and modify some text there.

So my second choice would be the protobi library. But it also has a big problem:

Cost:

$14,800 for perpetual OEM license for commercial use.

$4,800 per year access for maintenance releases

Also we are not using node.js in our company.

So, any ideas?

I'm sorry to ask. But why do you want to do this with JavaScript. For Java there is Apache POI https://poi.apache.org/components/slideshow/ – Simon Martinelli Jun 18 '19 at 09:08
@SimonMartinelli Didn't really considered using the server side for this. I'll take a look. – Carlos López Marí Jun 18 '19 at 09:10
