PPT generation from Java
Hi all,
I have to generate a PowerPoint presentation from a JAVA application. There will be some templates for the documents that I want to modify and I will have to change some text and some images in the templates that I have. Also it might be necessary to multiply specific templates and increase the number of pages of the ppt document. I am new to POI soi do not know much about it. Do you think I can achieve with POI the things mentioned above? Does anyone has a small example for the issues I have described.
Thanks in advance,
Florin Pop

You can get information about the escher format here:
http://chicago.sourceforge.net/devel/docs/escher/
Information regarding the power point format can get obtained here:
http://www.wotsit.org/search.asp?page=2&s=text
Expect a lot of experimentation to get it right. These formats can be a
pain to get to know well.

Glen

Hi Glen,
first of all thanks for your feedback. Can u give me more details about
escher format and also about the ppt file format (or point me to some
documentation/samples) I would like to dig into it and to see what I can do
about this.
Thank you,
Florin

No one has specifically undertaken this yet. There is support for the
escher file format through excel. Since escher is the basis for
powerpoint it might be possible to break this out as the start of the
powerpoint support.

Hi is there any development in this direction (generate a PowerPoint
presentation from a JAVA)? When it will be a milestone? How can I
contribute?
Thank you,
Florin Pop
PS: For the beggining I just want to mofidy the text from a template to
change the image in another template and things like this. Also to append
slides to the master document.
