Hi Stefan,

did you look at the Apache site? We used FOP to generate pdf and POI to export data to Excel. As far as I know there's also the possibilty to export data to Word and other parts of MS Office in POI.

Hi Frank,

i did. but the problem is, that poi only exports to excel and word. but i didn't find any support for Powerpoint.

For word also Jasper is an alternative. there u can export reports to rtf, and this can be read in word. but the main part is ppt-files. and i only found api which i have to pay for.

Hi Stefan,

sorry I couldn't help you
Could you let me know when you find a solution? Although I do not need it right now, I think it's always good to know what's available so you don't have to write everything by yourself.

btw is it possible to extract the data in xml? the new Office can handle with xml, but is it also available for office2003???

Guys,
Recently couple of weeks back I have seen a thread in Java In-general advanced forum, that throws light on these ppt's, acclerate your search there you should be able to find it.
