Hi Ameer,

what do you mean by complex objects and 25% of imported slides are empty?

It sounds a little bit like you want to generate bitmaps from slides and 
missing support
for XSLFTable and Charts [1]
Maybe you can open bugzilla entry with a sample file and a description of what 
you would
expect in the failing slides.

Maybe you mean creating freeform shapes by complex objects - [2] is a graphics 
context
which you also could use to create GeneralPath shapes.

If it's about drawing slides, you would need implement the draw/-content 
methods.
Be aware, that I'm currently refactoring the slide drawing, but my goal is to 
have the same
drawing features for hslf which exist for xslf. If there will be any additions 
in the meantime,
I'll try to migrate them.
About the time to implement that feature, it sounds interesting, but I probably 
won't
start with it very soon, i.e. within the next half year.
If you implement that feature + an unit test/example files, I'll review and 
commit it.

Best wishes,
Andi
