How do I go about automating conversions from PowerPoint to flash?
I want a user to be able to upload a PowerPoint file into my web page and on the server I want to convert the PowerPoint to a flash movie. Is there any preferred method for doing this?
I’ve searched on Google and I just keep getting a lot of 3rd party software vendors selling addon software but I can’t seem to find any useful guides or tutorials for doing this.

    There are only two (decent) solutions that I know of – the first being a little more decent than the second.

    1. iSpring offers a free version of
      their PowerPoint to Flash converter called iSpringFree.
      It’s decent. I use the Pro version
      because I also have a need to add
      e-Learning/SCORM functionality – but
      if you don’t have that need, it
      should be fine. In general, it also
      one of the better converters out
      there (amongst a host of many
      pay-for PPT->SWF converters).
    2. You could open your PPT/PPTX in
      OpenOffice.org‘s Impress and then
      Export to Flash format.

    Having server-side triggered conversion is a little more tricky – I don’t know of a server-side component other than they pay-for SDK solution by iSpring that offers this. The two above are for manual conversion.
