Hello
I want to covert .ppt file to .pdf file like OpenOffice do using its "Export" option.
Is there any OpenOffice API avaliable or is there any shell-command for converting it.
Thanks in advance.
A:
You would have to "print" and use the PDF "printer" to output the ppt as a pdf. Note: There has to be a "PDF printer" installed to be able to do this...

maybe you are looking for something like this: http://www.softinterface.com/Convert-PowerPoint/Convert-PowerPoint.htm - eventually transforming ppt to OpenOffice format and then use their API (which I'm not familiar with) could be an alternative solution. - A popular "PDF printer" is Adobe Acrobat. There are several other when searching for "free pdf writer" on google.
