DESCRIPTION
save each slide of PowerPoint™ presentation(s) to single image
files (
*.jpg
by default).
The image files have the identical name as the original presentation
file with the slide number appended, as:
Presentation File Name.pptx (Slide 07).jpg.
The output file for a certain slide is only generated if there is not
already a file with the same name existing.
The
ppt2jpg
command should be installed to the
'Send To'
context menu in
'Microsoft™ Windows Explorer'
for most convenient usage. To do so, invoke
ppt2jpg -i
once.
The default width of the JPG file produced is 2000 pixels.
The image size can be changed by setting
IMAGE_WIDTH=width
or
IMAGE_HEIGHT=height
in the optional
etc/ppt2jpg.cfg
file.

NOTES
If you have the pleasure to use a managed IT environment where your
PC is maintained by your organization, you might notice that you are
not able to export PowerPoint™ slides in higher resolutions as
the default because you are not allowed to change the registry.
With
ppt2jpg
you can pass this hurdle, because now you can generate images with
higher resolution/size by editing the
etc/ppt2jpg.cfg
configuration file and you don't need to touch the registry.

regarding the change of the exporting resolution in PowerPoint™
by editing the registry.
BUGS
while processing the presentation files,
ppt2jpg
starts a visible PowerPoint™ application window; please do not touch
the started application, else it interferes with the export process.
