Please check Upload File to Saaspose for how to. Some important steps for performing this task are to specify product URI, build URI, build URI to download merged presentation and Save output file.

Sample Code for Adding Watermark Text to a Word Document

SaasposeApp.AppKey = "89**********************";
SaasposeApp.AppSID = "77***********************";
//specify product URI
Product.BaseProductUri = @"http://api.saaspose.com/v1.0";

string[] presentationsList = new string[] { "Presentation2.pptx", "Presentation3.pptx" };
PresentationsList list = new PresentationsList();
list.PresentationPaths = presentationsList;

string strJSON = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(list);

//build URI
string strURI = "http://api.saaspose.com/v1.0/slides/Presentation1.pptx/merge"; //Product.BaseProductUri + "/pdf/" + basePdf + "/appendDocument?appendFile=" + newPdf + "&startPage=1&endPage=" + iPageCount.ToString();
string signedURI = Utils.Sign(strURI);

Utils.ProcessCommand(signedURI, "POST", strJSON);

// build URI to download merged presentation
strURI = "http://api.saaspose.com/v1.0/storage/file/Presentation1.pptx";
signedURI = Utils.Sign(strURI);

using (Stream responseStream = Utils.ProcessCommand(signedURI, "GET"))
{
    //Save output file
    using (Stream fileStream = System.IO.File.OpenWrite("C:\\MergedPresentation.pptx"))
    {
        Utils.CopyStream(responseStream, fileStream);
    }
}

//Following is the PresentationsList class

/// <summary>
/// represents list of presentations to be merged
/// </summary>
class PresentationsList
{
    public PresentationsList() { }

    public string[] PresentationPaths { get; set; }
}

//build URI to upload file to Saaspose

            string strURI = "http://api.saaspose.com/v1.0/storage/file/MyRemoteFileName";
            string signedURI = Sign(strURI);

            UploadFileBinary(localfilepath, signedURI, "PUT");

Watermark Text Addition to Word Documents in .NET Applications

This technical tip allows developers to add watermark text to a Word document using Saaspose.Words REST API in your .NET applications. Some important steps for performing this task are to build URI to add watermark text and then serialize the JSON request content. After that, parse the json string to JObject. Developers can use the WatermarkText class and BaseResponse class for adding Watermark text.

Sample Code for Adding Watermark Text to a Word Document

//build URI to add watermark text
            string strURI = "http://api.saaspose.com/v1.0/words/input.docx/insertWatermarkText";
            string signedURI = Sign(strURI);
            //serialize the JSON request content
            WatermarkText watermark = new WatermarkText();
            watermark.Text = "Watermark Text Here";
            watermark.RotationAngle = 45.0;
            string strJSON = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(watermark);
            Stream responseStream = ProcessCommand(signedURI, "POST", strJSON);
            StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(responseStream);
            string strResponse = reader.ReadToEnd();
            //Parse the json string to JObject
            JObject pJSON = JObject.Parse(strResponse);
            BaseResponse baseResponse = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<BaseResponse>(pJSON.ToString());
            if (baseResponse.Code == "200" && baseResponse.Status == "OK")
               Console.WriteLine("Watermark text has been added successfully");

            //Here is the WatermarkText class            
            public class WatermarkText
            {
                public string Text { get; set; }
                public double RotationAngle { get; set; }
            }

            //Here is the BaseResponse class            
            public class BaseResponse
            {
               public BaseResponse() { }
                public string Code { get; set; }
               public string Status { get; set; }
            }

Read & Recognize Barcode from External Image URL Using REST API

This technical tip allows developers to read barcode from external image URL using Saaspose.BarCode REST API in your Java applications. Some important steps for performing this task is to build URI for reading barcode, sending the request to Saaspose server, parse and Deserializes the JSON to an object and display the value and type of all the recognized barcodes.

Sample Code for Reading Barcode from external image URL

//build URI to read barcode
            //type:  Codabar, Code11, Code128 and Code39Extended etc.
            String strURI = "http://api.saaspose.com/v1.0/barcode/recognize?type=QR&url=http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/ce/WikiQRCode.png";
            // Send the request to Saaspose server
            InputStream responseStream = ProcessCommand(Sign(strURI), "POST");
            // Read the response
            String strJSON = StreamToString(responseStream);
            //Parse and Deserializes the JSON to a object.
            RecognitionResponse barcodeRecognitionResponse = gson.fromJson(strJSON,RecognitionResponse.class);
            List<RecognizedBarCode> barcodes = barcodeRecognitionResponse.getBarcodes();
       
            // Display the value and type of all the recognized barcodes
            for (RecognizedBarCode barcode : barcodes)
            {
                System.out.println("Codetext: " + barcode.BarcodeValue() + "\nType: " + barcode.getBarcodeType());
            }

            \\Here is the RecognitionResponse class
            public class RecognitionResponse extends BaseResponse
            {
                private List<RecognizedBarCode> Barcodes ;
                public List<RecognizedBarCode> getBarcodes(){return Barcodes;}
            }

            \\Here is the RecognizedBarCode class        
            public class RecognizedBarCode
            {
                private String BarcodeType ;
                private String BarcodeValue;
                public String getBarcodeType(){return BarcodeType;}
                public String BarcodeValue(){return BarcodeValue;}
            }

            \\Here is the BaseResponse class     
            public class BaseResponse
            {
                public BaseResponse() { }
                private String Code;
                private String Status;
                public String getCode(){return Code;}
                public String getStatus(){return Status;}
                public void  setCode(String temCode){ Code=temCode;}
                public void setStatus(String temStatus){ Status=temStatus;}
