I have a client in need of an application that uploads a powerpoint file to a web app that can display the slides as jpegs (or flash, silverlight, HTML, video.. any format really) using ASP.NET.
I built the application with MVC in VS 2010 using Office developer tools but the clients server does not have Powerpoint and it seems the Microsoft.Office.Interop.Powerpoint assembly won't function if it can't call Powerpoint on the host machine.
I've looked at every possible discussion dealing with this, the majority conclude its bad practice to even have Powerpoint deployed on a server, so my question is does anyone know of a utility that can convert PPT slide to JPG or Flash or anything to present the slides on a website?
