Hi,

SB> My requirements are pretty simple. I need, through a web application,
SB> to open an uploaded ppt file and export every slide as an image
SB> (jpg/png).
SB> Is it possible/easy with the POI library?

No, POI HSLF lib can't do it yet. The primary goal of POI HSLF lib is
to provide capabilities to read/write ppt files in Java. Rendering
slides as images is out of this scope.

Theoretically it is possible to export slide as an image. We know how
to read shapes from a slide, get their positions, attributes, etc.
Maybe export functionality will be a part of the POI lib in future.
