I was interested in being able to export data from Coldfusion to Powerpoint. I saw this section on StackOverflow
Generating Powerpoint PPT with ColdFusion?
which was posted almost 3 years ago. I was hoping there would be something more relevent since then instead of using the Apache POI.

I have tried using the cfcontent tag similar to how you would export to excel, I am able to get ppt to open, but a blank template opens up when I use cfcontent type=”application/vnd.ms-powerpoint”. Ultimately, I will be using this to try to export charts to a ppt slide. I believe cfcharts with the jpg option is the best solution, although I am currently using FusionCharts on my site itself.

Sorry I’m such a noob, but any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

    Have you looked into the <cfpresentation /> family of tags? It does exactly what you are looking for, allows you to generate PowerPoint files on the server. http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/9.0/CFMLRef/WSc3ff6d0ea77859461172e0811cbec22c24-7910.html
