pptx2h5p

Powerpoint to .h5p course presentation converter. Windows (+ MS Office) only.

Instructions

1. Download the executable of this tool
2. As user @dgcruzing described it in issue #1:
   • Create a shortcut on your desktop to it. i.e right click on "ppt2h5p" -> sendto -> Desktop
   • Open your explorer, type shell:sendto into the addressbar
   • hit enter, this should take you to your users/yourusername/Appdata/roaming/Microsoft/windows/Sendto folder
   • drag the shortcut here you have created
   • Right-click on your .pptx file, send to "ppt2h5p". Let the magic happen.
   • Upload .h5p into your H5P repository

How it works

pptx2h5p makes use of the COM interface offered by an installed powerpoint on the host.

1. opens the .pptx file in powerpoint
2. exports each slide as .png file
3. analyses images for width/height to adjust scaling for h5p
4. imports the .png files into an .hp5 archive (it's a zip essentially)
