How hard is it to import a powerpoint presentation into flash. It would be perfect for me if the output would look like this: every powerpoint slide becomes a movieclip or a .swf file. I don't have any animations and sounds, its just text and images. I know i could save the slides to png but its very bad idea using bitmaps for text in flash. I also cant use programs like slideshare, because they add their own navigation bars and i cant use them offline.

OpenOffice's Impress has a Powerpoint import, and Flash export function. I have no idea how it will work for your case, but give it a shot before you start exporting manually.

You can use openOffice or powerpoint 2007 (which has in-built xps support) for exporting your presentations into pdf's and then use pdf2swf for converting pdf into swfs.

I'm using FlashPoint PowerPoint to flash converter, it supports PowerPoint 2003 and 2007, the navigation bar can be hided based on your needs.

It is so easy that you just need a PowerPoint to Flash converter . I think Wondershare PPT2Flash is a good selection to you. You can retain all animations into your .swf file. And the presentation can be reduced the size by 98%.

There are 6 ways to convert PowerPoint to flash, maybe it helps.

You can check this tool for converting PowerPoint to Flash - Acoolsoft PPT to Flash

It works as an add-in of PowerPoint. After you install it on your computer, you can also freely insert flash files to PowerPoint.

Good luck.
