Editor's review
This is a component that makes viewing or PowerPoint slides possible, even though your machine may not have the MS PowerPoint software installed.
This component is really for developers who need to view the PowerPoint file within their application and export PowerPoint - ppt file to image file formats such as JPG, BMP, TIF, PNG, GIF. End users of your application would be able to define the image width and height. This component too, like other components available from this publisher can be easily integrated when used in language environments like Access, c#, VB.net ,Visual C++, Visual Basic, Visual Foxpro, Delphi, .Net, etc. essentially the languages that can support the ActiveX component technology. Source code samples are supplied by the developers opf the component to ease the pain of integration. These are available in VB, VB.NET, c# languages. The component also provides a fairly simple and intuitive interface so that you do not need to worry about that development either.
The component, integrated within your application, is able to handle PPT and PPS files. The tool will export PowerPoint slides as images in JPG, BMP, TIF, PNG, GIF formats. Controls to advance the slides, go back or current slides are possible via buttons on the interface. When exporting, the size of the slide show can be defined. When you are into developing applications that need a slide viewer and also may be a feature to export slides as images, this component could be useful. It is not complicated at all, with a bunch of features that are not likely to be used often.
