There are some automators around, supplied by vendors of Product
(Data/Lifecycle) Management systems and Document Management Systems, but
they are extremely pricey, with per-annum licenses etc. Most do not run on
Linux.
You might be better off just leaving them alone (apart from basic virus
checking), and just indicate that the file is in ppt.
PDF might be a better option for your clients; the Windows users could
generate it with cutepdf if they don't have better tools.

Subject: Re: [SLUG] powerpoint parsing/converting
(answering to the list on purpose)
It does. But I need an automated solution. My idea is having a few people
uploading their presentations, which will be received by a PHP script,
parsed, and converted to SWF.
