There are a ton of .PPT to SWF converters. I was thinking about making a PPT to XML converter. It would have to read all the images that are embedded, and output them as JPG. That way you have RAW Data that you can use for whatever you want. Primarily, I think this would be used for Flash based presentations.
In theory, you could do this using the ByteArray class if you knew how to interpret the data. Obviously some people know how to interpret the data if they can convert PPT to SWF.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Would it be useful? Do you think it’s worth trying to do? (Is it too complicated? VS Would you ever use it?) What type of specialist should I look for if I decide to move forward with this?
