Display powerpoint presentation in Swings

hiii,
I am developing an application in which i need to browse powerpoint presentation...and need to display in JFrames.For that i got a source that we have to use(import) org.apache.poi.hslf.HSLFSlideShow package,org.apache.poi.hslf.model.Slide; org.apache.poi.hslf.usermodel.SlideShow bla bla. but i dont know how to download and how to use those...Will anyone give an Hint how to solve

Sorry, but your question isn't related to this forum, and it doesn't sound like a Swing question. It's more of a POI question. Try to ask it in the mailing list or forum for POI.

Importing Windows PowerPoint Presentation

I work for a company whom only supports Windows. I have a IPad that I want to use for presntations. Do I have to have a MAC with Keynotes to import PC Powerpoint files or will the IPAD applicationa allow me to do so as a stand alone?
If not does anybody have any ideas of a solution besides going out to buy a MAC?
(though it is on the wish list)

Keynote for iPad can import PowerPoint presentations directly; no need to have Keynote on a Mac to convert. See:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4066
There are other apps that can also import and display PowerPoint presentations, such as Documents To Go, but if you want to use the iPad in conjunction with a projector, you'll want to confirm that the app you select can (as Keynote can) output to the VGA adapter.
Regards.

In any case, note the following.
1) Do not [multi-post|http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5394663] questions.
2) It pays to ask a specific question, rather than stating a problem and that you 'do not know how to fix it and - please help'.
3) You are more likely to get help if you can present code in the form of an SSCCE (at least of what you have so far).

How do I get PowerPoint presentation to display properly without having PowerPoint?

Suggestions on how to get PowerPoint presentation to display properly aligned on MacBookPro? These are available for download as ppt, pps & pdf
Our co just came out with new presentations in PowerPoint. They are going toward iPad2, & suggest using Documents to Go on an iPad. But I'm trying to play the presentation on my MacBookPro 13" (April 2010), Snow Leopard. I have iWork & so it opens in Keynote which does not display it quite right. The alignment is off--it appears that the relationships between text boxes isn't quite the same. So there is a long table with arrows pointing to the totals at the bottom but the arrows are over the text.
I tried looking at it in Parallels 5 (Win 7) & it opened in Open Office. That looked better, but several slides aren't aligned right. They have horizontal lines between bullet points & the lines "creep" so that as it goes down the page the lines move up closer to the text & then on top of the text.
Not real up on PowerPoint or Keynote, but I'm guessing maybe the resolution or something is different that throws the alignment off. I am learning Keynote but had just dabbled with PowerPoint & of course had played slide shows created in PowerPoint that had been sent to me which usually didn't have as much text. Also if its just me looking at it, I can manage if it isn't lined up right, but to show to others, it needs to look
I need these to display properly since this is something to use with prospective clients. Also the presentation is designed so that different offices can select which slides they want to use. Our office is not using all of them. So I need to be able to select the slides as well as have them display properly.
Wondering if I could choose a power point reader with the pps to play it rather than having Keynote if that would work, but not sure how to do that.
I think the pdf displayed properly, but don't think I can select slides with that.
So how can I be able to select PowerPoint slides, & get them to display properly? At 1st I thought it might be that I didn't have the font used, but it shows as Trebuchet MS which also shows in my font list on the mac side.
I would prefer not to have to buy PowerPoint & would prefer to not have to use Parallels or Bootcamp, although I can if needed. I purchased Outlook 2007 for Windows which I used to use to sync with my old Win mobile phone. thankfully I was able to get rid of that & get an iPhone & now use the iLife aps rather than needing Outlook.
Also related to this presentation are related files that can be downloaded in either mp3 or mp4. I really don't know what the difference is or why choose one or the other.

OK, I found what seems to work. That is to open the actual ppt version of the download (not the one that had already been opened & saved in Keynote) in Open Office. So I had to open Open Office & then navigate to the file to open it so that it didn't open in Keynote.
At a One to One training on Keynote where I asked for help with this today he noted that it showed that the presentation had been created in an older version of PowerPoint--apparently 2003 for Windows which could explain some of the issues.
Opening it in Open office it displayed mostly ok. There were 2 or 3 or so slides where I had to tweak horizontal lines between bullet points that had crept up so some where through the text rather than under it. So I just selected the lines & nudged them into position.
Its not perfect & for some reason, some of the lines seem a hair thicker than others (which I guess I could go back & figure out how to use the line thickness tool to adjust, but think I will leave well enough alone for now).
As near as I can tell, this seems to work about equally well doing this on the Mac side or in Parallels in Windows 7. So will stick with the Mac side.
This allows me to run the slide show with me controlling when the different bullet points, etc display. It didn't have any exotic animations or transitions--just rather plain vanilla ones.

Why won't my PowerPoint presentations display correctly?

Why won't my PowerPoint presentations display correctly?

In what app? As an email attachment? In another PP compatible iOS app?
Sometimes there are formatting issues with going from the MS office version of a document and opening it in an iOS app that is compatible with the MS file. The apps that are compatible with the MS Office suite of apps do not always open and display on the iPad the same way that they do in Office on your computer.
The iPad is not a full blown computer by any means and this is one of those trade offs that you sometimes have to accept if you want to use the iPad instead of a computer.

How do I see powerpoint presentation on VGA projector?

I have the mini DVI to VGA adapter. After I connect my macbook to a vga projector what function key or command do I use to see my powerpoint presentation on the VGA projector?

It is essentially 'plug and play' - this was taken from the following linked site...
Tip: To make sure that your computer automatically detects theexternal display or projector, be sure you plug the adapter into theexternal display or projector before you plug it into the computer.

If you Macbook screen does appear and you still have powerpoint problems then the issue may be with your presentation as whatever appears on your screen should appear on your projector.

IMAGES in POWERPOINT presentation can't be read by a Windows PC

I create a POWERPOINT PRESENTATION on a Mac and insert image files (jpg) from Google into the slides. The presentation works fine on the Mac.
I then go and playback this presentation on any Windows PC and it can't read the images, displaying an error message in the image frame of each such slide about some TIFF driver missing to display this image.
What do I do wrong?
PowerPC G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8) Powerpoint 2004 for Mac

I have had this problem before, but I use the following work around.
1) Copy the graphic to clipboard with Command C (or use the Grab utility, then copy to memory)
2) Create a new document in Photoshop (it should automatically create the correct size)
- Paste
- Cut
4) Switch back to PowerPoint Mac and Paste it back in.
I do this routinely now when creating PowerPoint presentations and it works every time on PCs.

Why do some elements of a Powerpoint presentation not appear on screen?

While running through a Powerpoint Presentation, some slides didn't show all elements? is this an issue with how the PPT is built prior to upload? are there specific products that can be installed that would allow for the appearance of all elements in any type of PPT presentation?
I installed the latest add-in and it didn't help. suggestions?

When you up load your PPT file to Connect it converts it into a Flash version of the presentation, so it can be displayed in the room. While it will keep many elements of PPT, some items just don't translate from PPT to Flash. Some of the more common things that I see that don't translate are: slide transistions, some empahsis animations and images that are not JPG or GIF.
The easiest soltuion, if you don't want to change things in your PPT, is to just share your screen and show the PPT in slide show mode (F5).

Is it possible to transmit powerpoint presentations from apple tv

I am wondering if there is a way for me to transmit from my computer a powerpoint presentation from apple tv to my tv? I have to drag this really long cord to hook up my computer to my tv to be able to make this happen. I would love to see if there is a way to make this happen. Does anyone know how to do this?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Sorry, there's no way of doing this, the only way is with the cable (Apple TV not required)
If the presentation is suitable you might export it as a video and add it to iTunes.
If you have an iPad 2, iOS 5 will allow you to mirror it's display to a TV via the Apple TV, which would let you play keynote presentations on your TV.

Powerpoint presentation created on Mac looks awful on PC - I'M DESPERATE!

I am creating a Powerpoint presentation on my G-5 that will be shown tomorrow, probably on a PC.
I burned a disc tonight as a test and viewed it on a PC and all the fonts look awful.
It has coverted them to something else entirely and in the process totally messed up alignment, etc.
I may have no control over what this is shown on, so I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to embed fonts into a Powerpoint, so that whatever it is shown on, it will look right.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks.
J.

If you want to use Powerpoint to display the presentation I don't think you have any choice but to use Windows fonts that you would expect to find on a typical PC.
Couldn't you print the presentation as a PDF and use Adobe Reader to display the slides? A PDF created on a Mac should look the same on a PC because fonts are embedded in the PDF.

Creating video mpegs for use in a windows based powerpoint presentation

im putting a few short video clips together for a friend to use as part of a powerpoint presentation for work..
i have tried to send him a quicktime movie before and he hasn't been able to play it back at work so im worried about how to encode these clips so they are good quality and he can see them on his pc and use them in the presentation...
im asuming he's not downloaded any extra codec things at all so it'll need to be compatible with whatever windows has as standard...
cany anyone help me figure out the best option?
thanks

Quick Time Pro exports MPEG-4 which will not insert into PowerPoint for Windows. While you will need third-party software or hardware to export to MPEG-1 (I recommend MPEG Encoder Mac 1.5, from mainconcept.com), the whole issue here is the strange world of what PowerPoint will and will not do in Mac and then over again on Windows.... Now the "good news" is that PowerPoint can play back MPEG-1 natively, on both platforms, without any additional codecs installed. While you can use the same MPEG-1 clip, the "bad news" is that different system resources are called upon to play it back. So, if you were to insert an MPEG-1 clip in a Mac PowerPoint file, and re-open it on Windows, you will get a prompt that you need a particular QuickTime component intstalled. If you do the obverse, QuickTime will play back the audio but only display the first frame on Mac. You can still use the same MPEG-1 clip.

Saving A Movie Clip for Later Use in PowerPoint Presentation

Does anyone know how I can save a non-copyright movie clip coming down the line and played on AOL so I can then insert it in a Mac PowerPoint presentation? When I try to download now, save and replay it, I can’t view it unless I go back to AOL, which will no be available at my presentation sight. Any help would be appreciated.

When I try to download now, save and replay it, I can’t view it unless I go back to AOL, which will no be available at my presentation sight.
Sounds like it is either a "reference" movie or RTSP streamed movie. You may be able to access the former by loading the URL directly to the QT Player and saving it if you have QT Pro (or you may not). In either case, a screen capture application like Snapz Pro X could be used to capture anything displayed on your monitor.

Show a Flash animation frame when opening a Powerpoint presentation

Hi all,
I have a Powerpoint presentation that embeds a Flash
animation (swf file). I use Powerpoint 2003 and a Flash 9
animation.
The problem is that when the presentation is opened, no image
(in fact a frame of the Flash animation) appears on the slide that
contains the Flash object. Instead, a blank rectangle is displayed.
To make it appear, I must start the presentation in slide
show mode (here the animation is playing) and then return to
'Normal' view. The last animation image is then shown on the slide.
From now, if I save the presentation, close it and then reopen it,
no image is shown.
I have tried with different Flash animation versions and
noticed that an image is displayed for Flash animation when
compiled in Flash 7. In a Flash 8 animation, no image appears too.
It seems that a change since Flash version 8 avoids an image to be
displayed when opening the Powerpoint presentation.
Has anyone already met this ? Are there security or other
changes that will prevent a frame to be displayed when opening the
presentation ? Any ideas or Internet links will be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Dave and thanks for the answer.
My embedded movie is playing well when we start the slideshow
mode for the presentation, because it uses the installed activeX
component (version 9 installed) to render it.
My problem is that no image (ie the last movie frame
displayed before exiting the slide show) is displayed the next time
the presentation opens, even if the file is saved.
Did you mean that, because the activeX version is newer than
the PowerPoint 2003 release date, the PowerPoint application is not
able to get the image (frame) the next time the presentation opens
(that is, the image to display is embedded into the activeX at a
specific location, which has changed between Flash player version 7
and 8) ?
PS: 1) I have opened the Flash 8 presentation in PowerPoint
2007 and an image is shown on the slide, which might confirm that
PowerPoint 2003 is too old to find the frame to be displayed.
2) I searched into the in-line/off-line documentation and I
found no paragraph speaking of the Flash version limitation.
Let me know if I am right.
Thanks again for the time taken to answer me.

Firefox doesn't have any built-in ability to display PowerPoint files in a tab. You can check how Firefox is set to handle PowerPoint files in the Options dialog:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Applications
''This list may take a while to load.'' In the search box above the list, you can type pow and let Firefox filter it down. Usually these would say "Always Ask" but you might have customized them to "Use Microsoft Powerpoint".
There are some sites that have a Flash-based PowerPoint viewer, such as OneDrive/SkyDrive and SlideShare. Maybe Gmail has one now, too, I haven't checked. But all such sites also should have a separate download button, either before showing their viewer or as part of the viewer. If there are particular sites where you notice this problem, maybe someone know how to bypass the viewer on that site and go straight to a download.
