Embed local Powerpoint PPT/PPTX in page

Question

I am trying to embed user-uploaded Powerpoint files (.ppt or .pptx).

On a company intranet, users can upload presentations and on a separate page other users can view them. As the volume will be high, I cannot use a method that requires manual configuration of each presentation (such as OneDrive embed, SlideShare etc).

The solutions I have found (a few are listed below) only accommodate web-accessible files; this does not work for me, as the files are not accessible outside of a company intranet.

• Embed a PowerPoint presentation into HTML (iframe using docs.google.com/gview; does not work)
• Embed a Powerpoint in a Web Page (iframe using view.officeapps.live; does not work)

Is there a solution or library that allows for embedding PowerPoint presentations that are uploaded to a local server directory?

Answer 1

As an alternate solution, you can convert PPT/PPTX to JPG/SVG images and display them with revealjs. See the source code here and working demo app here.
