Unsupported features for uploading PPT/PPTX files to Connect Pro using a Share Pod
Issue
The following table lists PowerPoint features which are dropped when a PPT/PPTX file is uploaded to a Connect Pro meeting (via a Share Pod) or to a Connect Pro Content library.
Solution
If the presentation files contain any of these features, then there aretwo possible workarounds for better conversion:
- Use Adobe Presenter to publish locally (My Computer) as a Zip Package and upload the zip file into the Share Pod.
- Save the PPTX as a PPT and then upload the PPT into the Share Pod This workaround will have some limitations as detailed below.
