I'm trying to convert a powerpoint presentation to seperate svg files (1 for each slide), Is it possible to do so by using the Microsoft Office 2010 PIA ?

If so, then is there any tutorial on using Microsoft Office 2010 PIA in Java ?

I realize this is an old question, but I recently tried to do this and found a solution that worked pretty well using Google Slides:

  1. Upload the PowerPoint to Google Drive, then click Open in Google Slides, OR
  2. Create a new Google Slides presentation, then click File -> Import Slides... and pull in the slides you need.
  3. File -> Download as -> Scalable Vector Graphics (.svg, current slide).

I had better success exporting as Enhanced Windows meta file (.emf) which Inkscape also can read.

It was 'better' because when I tried to import the exported PDF, Inkscape generated a bunch image files. The XML of the imported SVG seemed cleaner as well.
