How to read Power Point file. can we read Power Point file each slide ? I want to display my power point file in in my wesite ?
I was under the impression that you could export to HTML from within Powerpoint... wouldn't it be easier to just do that and upload the HTML itself?
You cannot say it is impossible. Because if you drag-drop a ppt file in internet explorer it opens up. So there can be some code available to read a ppt file slide by slide and show individually as image. For e.g. You can read & modify excel using php. Then why not ppt?
Dragging and dropping into IE has nothing to do with a web server though, right? It's accessing the file via a filesystem, not via a web server. IE is able to embed the Powerpoint program and basically just wraps itself around the program. If your example was correct ('a browser can do it, so...') I should be able to drag and drop a presentation into Firefox in Linux and expect the same result. I can tell you that that's not the case! The thing about Excel is that it's fairly basic, really: most of the time, you're talking about a table of data. Powerpoint is a little more complex than that. Technically you're right, it's not impossible, but it's magnitudes more difficult than how you are seeing it. Like I say, what's wrong with doing the translation on your machine and uploading the HTML?
