Creating Plain CLM Presentation from PowerPoint

The Application Editor allows the creation of CLM presentations from PowerPoint files.

  • Supported files: .ppt with files, .ppt(x) with files.

  • Embed fonts in a CLM presentation to be sure that the fonts, special characters, layout, and styling of the document won’t change while sharing.

  • The size of the CLM presentation must not exceed 25 MB.

    The maximum size of a .pdf or .ppt(x) file is increased up to 75 MB.

  • Slides animation from converted .ppt files is not supported.

  • If a .ppt(x) file contains any interactive elements, such as videos, gifs, and links, they will not be available in the converted CLM presentation.

  • Violation of converted slides' proportion is possible when other than iPad format slides are used in the source document.
