Exporting content to Microsoft PowerPoint
BIRT Viewer Toolkit supports exporting content to PowerPoint, PowerPoint 2007, and PowerPoint 2010 formats. When exporting content to PowerPoint 2010, we recommend that you use the PPTX format in order to avail several features supported only in PPTX format, and to avoid compatibility issues that occur when using Microsoft Office 2010. To export content, or a report element to either PowerPoint version, specify the following information on Export Content:
Page range
Page style
BIDI processing
Text wrapping
Font substitution
Page overflow processing
Chart DPI
