Enabling slideshows in Drupal by converting PPT and PDFs

Read Original

This article details a technical implementation for enabling a slideshow feature in Drupal, similar to Slideshare. It explains how to accept user-uploaded presentations (PPT, PDF) and convert them to browser-viewable images using an open-source stack including Gearman for job queuing, OpenOffice, Ghostscript, and unoconv for format conversion, all hosted in-house.
