Republish Office.js to support new PowerPoint Preview API endpoints about office-js

[YuvrajPuyam]

Hi @EsterBergen

Thanks for the update!

We've implemented this function and it's working on web version however it's giving a RichApi.Error: GeneralException error for getImageAsBase64 function on local desktop application.

We're using Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2404 Build 16.0.17531.20152) 32-bit.

Requesting any information on why this might be happening.

any update on this?

Hi @Tjerkdb - Thanks for noticing we have some new APIs that will release soon. These APIs are currently making their way through the rings and will be available for use via Insiders in the upcoming weeks. I can update you here with the official builds. Thanks!

Hi @EsterBergen could you please let me know what is the approximate time for this functionality to be available in either preview(beta build) or official build?
Thanks

[EsterBergen]

Hi @YuvrajPuyam - Thanks for following up! I confirmed today that the APIs should be available to access in the following builds. Please refer to the beta APIs as these are all in preview.
Beta library: https://appsforoffice.microsoft.com/lib/beta/hosted/office.js.

This should work on the following builds:
Windows: 16.0.17628.20006 and beyond.
Web: Current release
Mac:16.85.242.0

More info: PowerPoint.Slide class - Office Add-ins | Microsoft Learn

Let me know if you still run into issues.

@YuvrajPuyam - you'll want to update to an earlier version/insiders ring of office to have access to the API.

This should work on the following builds:
Windows: 16.0.17628.20006 and beyond.
Web: Current release
Mac:16.85.242.0

I was getting the RichApi exception when using the map function to iterate through slides, when changing that back to a normal foreach loop it worked perfectly.
My version is: 16.0.17628.20006

The code try this in script lab:
async function getAllSlides() {
await PowerPoint.run(async (context) => {
let finalTable = "";
context.presentation.load("slides");
await context.sync();
const allSlidesList = {};
const allSlidesCount = context.presentation.slides.getCount();
context.presentation.slides.load("items");
await context.sync();
let allSlideItems = context.presentation.slides.items;

for(const slide of allSlideItems){
  slide.load();
  
  try {
    await context.sync();
    const clientResult = slide.exportAsBase64();
    await context.sync();
    // console.log(clientResult.value); // this will most probably kill your console
    console.log("\n")
    console.log(slide.id);
  } catch (e) {
    console.log(e);
  }
