Limitations

  • Password-protected files (encrypted packages, encrypted .ppt) are detected and refused, not decrypted.
  • Legacy .ppt decks: text, titles, notes, hidden flags, slide size and pictures are read, and the file is read whole into memory; tables, charts, comments and document properties of the binary format are not read, and the verifier does not cover it. PowerPoint 95 files are refused.
  • Charts give their cached title, series, categories and values; nothing is recomputed from the embedded workbook. Extended charts (cx:) inside mc:AlternateContent fall back to their picture, since the reader does not claim to understand their versioned namespaces. Embedded objects are listed with their bytes, not interpreted.
  • Text formatting beyond bold, italic, underline, strike, size, language, typeface and hyperlinks is not modelled.
  • Placeholder inheritance of formatting from layouts and masters is not resolved; text is never inherited by design.
  • No rendering of slides to images.
  • The verifier does not validate against the XSD schemas.
  • The writer embeds PNG, JPEG, GIF, BMP and TIFF pictures only, creates no charts or diagrams, and does not edit existing decks.
