[Mono-list] How to split input pptx file into a set of one slide files in C#

[Ryan Boggs]

Hi,

If you are working strictly with Office 2007+ documents, you could
have a look at the OpenXML sdk.  I've been using it for a couple of
years with some of my projects to generate office documents without
the need of having Office installed on the machine or the use of the
office interop libraries.  I believe there are examples of using the
sdk for retrieving information from office documents.  The only thing
I am not sure about is how well it works on Mono but you could have
better results than relying on the interops.  Hope this helps.

Thanks,
Ryan
