{
    //Open the existing PowerPoint presentation with loaded stream.
    using (IPresentation pptxDoc = Presentation.Open(fileStreamInput))
    {
        //Convert the PowerPoint presentation to PDF document.
        using (PdfDocument pdfDocument = PresentationToPdfConverter.Convert(pptxDoc))
        {
            //Save the converted PDF document to MemoryStream.
            MemoryStream pdfStream = new MemoryStream();
            pdfDocument.Save(pdfStream);
            pdfStream.Position = 0;
            //Save the stream as file.
            using (FileStream fileStreamOutput = File.Create("Sample.pdf"))
            {
                pdfStream.CopyTo(fileStreamOutput);
