Given a PowerPoint presentation in .ppt format, what is the best way to programmatically and using only open source software extract an image representation (in say .jpg or .png) of each slide in the presentation?
The application will run in a Linux server environment, so installing Microsoft Office or Keynote is not an option.
The functionality that I want to achieve programmatically is similar to:
- Keynote's export functionality (
File > Export... > Pictures > JPEG) - PowerPoint's Save As JPEG functionality (
Save As > Other Formats > JPEG)
You should probably give unoconv a try. According to the man page, "unoconv is a command line utility that can convert any file format that OpenOffice can import, to any file format that OpenOffice is capable of exporting. "
So, to convert ppt to, say, png, you do:
unoconv -f png some-slides.ppt
Should that failed, you may try JODConverter or PyODConverter from Art of Solving. For example, you can use JODConverter from command line:
java -jar lib/jodconverter-cli-2.2.0.jar document.ppt document.png
Given your requirement to run on Linux, it's probably easiest to automate OpenOffice.org.
Exporting as HTML will give you a JPEG or PNG image with configurable quality for each slide.
Years ago I used Slide Splitter for Impress for this same exact need. Worked with ppt slides as well and exporting to .jpeg.
If using a web API is an option I would try google docs API. You can upload a ppt document and then download it back in any of the supported formats including pdf and png.
Apache POI is a Java library, but has a command-line utility for converting a PPTX files to PNG files.
To run it, invoke this command inside the root of the library's binary download folder:
java -cp "poi-3.10-FINAL-20140208.jar;poi-ooxml-3.10-FINAL-20140208.jar;poi-ooxml-schemas-3.10-FINAL-20140208.jar;ooxml-lib\dom4j-1.6.1.jar;ooxml-lib\stax-api-1.0.1.jar;ooxml-lib\xmlbeans-2.3.0.jar;lib\commons-codec-1.5.jar;lib\commons-logging-1.1.jar;lib\log4j-1.2.13.jar" org.apache.poi.xslf.util.PPTX2PNG presentation.pptx
It's not 100% perfect--I noticed that it doesn't like WordArt or images that have been cropped from within PowerPoint.
You can use PDFCreator (albeit on Wine)
