Tips & Best Practices
-
Review converted HTML files for content fidelity, especially complex embedded objects which may not convert fully.
-
Sanitize HTML output to address potential security risks from embedded macros in original PPT files.
-
Use external CSS and JavaScript thoughtfully to enhance presentation but ensure resources are accessible.
-
Test HTML pages across multiple browsers and devices to verify consistent rendering and behavior.
Limitations
-
Complex elements like embedded OLE objects or VBA macros in PPT files may not be preserved or functional in HTML.
-
Resulting HTML often depends on external resources; output files may not be fully self-contained.
-
Security concerns exist because PPT files can contain macros and embedded objects that pose risks; converted HTML cannot replicate executable macros.
-
Rendering and interactivity can vary across different web browsers and devices.
-
HTML is not inherently designed for fixed-layout or print-perfect archival without additional styling or conversion.
