How to transform ppt file into web page online

My company is implementing a OA system, there are many ppt files stored in
database in the form of attachment. I would like to restrain the right of
users to only open and read the files, but can't copy, print and save as.

I found a way to achieve this, i hope the ppt files be transformed into web
page, some form like " Web Page Review" command, then i use some js code to
limit the IE menu and Right Click Menu, so that the visitor can only browse
all the slides. Can someone help me with the way of transforming the ppt file
into web page online?

P.S. I can't let everyone who upload the ppt file to transform all ppt files
into web pages before the uploading. I can only control the download process.

Thanks.

Transforming ppt files into web page is a good idea to protect your
PowerPoint contents, but using some js code to limit the browser
functions doesn't always work, and your content will be copied easily.
So why not think of other ways?

I support that storing ppt files in web pages is relatively convenient
to share. But you'd better choose some other formats to save, such as
Flash. Transforming your ppt files to Flash and then publishing to web
pages can definitely protect your PowerPoint content and easily be
achieved. There're lots of presentation tools can do this with
versatile features, such as Wondershare PPT2Flash, Articulate
Presenter and Flash Spring Pro. They can directly generate the web
page you want with accurate conversion.

I hope my suggestion can really help you.

Thanks for the suggestion, Willian.

The point is the some others upload the ppt files to the server, and I can't
control each of them to make the transform, they just simply upload the ppt
to server. The help i need is to transform the ppt file into other format
online when others choose to open them. Do the ways you suggested do this
online, but pre-transformation?

You may want to have a look at our PPT2HTML add-in for PowerPoint
http://www.pptools.com/ppt2html/

The free demo there will let you give it a complete workout.

While it doesn't handle animation (a Flash conversion might be better if this is
important), it would let you insert the javascript automatically into all html
files it generates.

There's a batch version that could watch a directory on the server and
automatically convert any incoming PPT files to HTML for you.  That type of
one-shot conversion would be a great deal more efficient than transforming PPTs
each time someone opens them.

Thanks Steve,

You way seems great if I store all ppts in the directories, however, I
don't. I 'm implementing Lotus Domino as my background datahouse, and use IE
as the user interface, so you see, there is no DIRECTORY at all. I have to
use the Sever To User direct to make this transformation.

Best Regards,

Vane

By the way, does anybody once have a look at one KB from Microsoft.com? the
link is : Visual C++ ActiveX Control for hosting Office documents in Visual
Basic or HTML
http://support.microsoft.com/Default.aspx?scid=kb%3ben-us%3b311765, can
anyone tell me whether I can achieve my goal through this?

thanks.

You'd have to try it yourself, but this, partway down the page, might be a
deal-breaker:

"Office 2000, Office XP, Office 2003, or Office 2007 must be installed on the client
computer for it to be able to open Office documents."

Yes and no; once the PPTs are converted to HTML, they can be deleted.  
The HTML and related image files are all you'd need to store, and you could store
them wherever/however you like.

Afraid I haven't a clue about how Domino works, so can't offer any suggestions there.

I use DOMINO 7 to store all kinds of files including the Attachment, so there
is no directory, just database, even the attachments are stored in database.

Ok, I will try the KB, anyway, All the client computers have Office
pre-installed.

Yes, I got your point.
You want to protect your ppt files which are uploaded by some others,
so you need to transform them on-demand online. Right?

Pre-transformation is the best way to protect those files by using
some presentation tools i mentioned, such as Wondershare PPT2Flash.
But it's a huge project if there're continued ppt files uploding.

Transforming the ppt file into other format online when others choose
to open them is possible with some software development tool, such as
PPT2Flash SDK. You can easily integrate the tool with your server to
control transforming online.
