Confluence automatically shows Powerpoint slideshows without any conversion you just use a built in one line macro and it shows up embedded in the page using a Flash solution.
I've tried searching extensively but everywhere tells me I need to convert to some other format or host on Google Docs or Youtube etc.
Can someone suggest to me another Flash based solution where I don't need to convert from PPT first or tell me which one Confluence uses (I have also tried to find this myself)?
It's not feasible to view or create a slideshow of the PowerPoint slides on a web page without converting them to images. You can convert the slides to the required image format. The output format will depend upon your particular scenario i.e. whether you want to show high quality and scalable output or you want to show low quality and low size output. You may then create a slide show from those images even using JavaScript.
Find information about embedding a PowerPoint slide at https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Embedding+PowerPoint+Presentations+in+a+Page
The View File macro may be the one you're looking for:

{viewfile:ExampleFileName.ppt}
The results are much better if you export to PDF from PowerPoint then use the Confluence macro for PDF.
This tool turns confluence into powerpoint https://bigpresentation.bigquant.com/ , conflucne + reveal js.

Is it possible to disable the copy option of the lib when selecting a text in the PDF using the PDFTron lib for Android?
I tried to search for the string, but also have not found it.
If you are using one of the mobile SDK's, or using our PDFViewWPF control for .Net 4+, then this is possible by modifying the tools code that is provided. There will one or two text selection tools, for which you can just comment out. Plus you would want to disable ctrl-c, and right click and select copy abilities. Exact code changes depends on platform. If you are using our older C++ PDFViewCtrl class this is harder to do, but I suspect you are not on this anyway.
Be aware though, there is no real way to prevent a user from extracting text from a PDF, since they can always open it in another PDF viewer and do it there.
See this form post for more info, including how to scramble the unicode values of text.

Note, you will probably be interested in the PDFTron WebViewer technology, which provides much greater control over content. In particular, the original PDF file is never exposed to anyone for download. You can also encrypt the XOD file, so it cannot be opened in an XPS viewer, and you have full control over the UI, including disabling text search/extraction.

I'm trying to embed Word, PPT, and Excel files on a website.
I've tried Google docs and Microsoft Office 365 but I had the following issues with them:
If I'm not signed in using my Gmail account for many days, the embedded document won't show up. Also, sometimes it says that I've reached the maximum number of views for the current document.
Microsoft office 365's problem is that it adds big top and bottom bars to the documents and they come with colors (red, green, and blue)..which makes the website look very ugly
You can install LibreOffice on your server and do the conversions from any doc files to PDF automatically.
An alternative is using VeryPDF.
Did you try this? It adds a bar at the bottom but that's required to navigate the slideshow

I'm searching for some kind of Programm / Java Applet / ActiveX Control or magic spell to view Word / Excel Documents inside Browsers (Browser independent would be the best case, but IE only ist just fine).
I don't want to open Word itsself inside a frame, because that gives users the false impression that they can edit and save the document i just want to display its contents.
I also found solutions which converts the word document to pdf first, but i can't do this due to some security restrictions on the environment i'm working on.
This can help when those proprietary file formats can first be converted to ODF (for example by LibreOffice/OpenOffice.org): http://webodf.org/
(I will not comment on "security restrictions" and using Microsoft software ...)
I need to load about 60 images, each on a different page, in to PowerPoint.
Does anyone know of an "automated" way to do this. I don't want to go through slide by slide, and have to click "load image" on each one.
If it was a one-time thing, I wouldn't worry about it, but we're summarizing results from some analysis that is ongoing and we'll have to do it many times.
Thanks.
edit: After brief discussion with co-worker, it seems that "insert -> photo album" does this easily.
From PPTools: Insert -> Photo Album works well in PPT 2007. There are a few Problems in older Versions, because the images are linked, not embedded if you do not choose the right settings.
The site mentioned above also features a macro for doing this.
There are a couple of open source programs, both hosted on sourceforge.net, which were developed for just the situation you describe. They are:
Powerpoint Picture Insert Command Line Interface (a console program), also known as P3ICLI.
There's also a GUI wrapper for P3ICLI, called Powerpoint Picture Insert, or P3I for short (I can't link to it due to forum posting restrictions). If you want to use the GUI, you must also install P3ICLI.
=================
FWIW, my wife invokes P3ICLI from JMP (a stats package) to dump multiple graphs into a single PPT presentation...no point and clicking required.
A friend of mine wants to have an application where people can upload documents in Word (or text) format, and then allow people to make edits to those documents within a browser.
Is there any mechanism that would support adding text "bubbles" for adding comments? Either floating, or off to the side.
Being able to save back to Word format is a must too. Or at least, some format supported by Word, that would still be editable. Saving it as an image is not acceptable.
I was thinking about opening the Word Document in an FCK Editor window, but FCK only seems to have "normal" inline text editing capabilities (although it is great).
Is this feasible?
Yes it is feasible. Google has done that (and it does have comments). So has Adobe. I'm sure there is more.
Xopus provides a programmable platform that allows you to define editable XML within a WYSIWYG environment. You could use it to define what you want to edit (XML), against which rules you want to edit it (an XSD) and how you want it to look while you edit it (XSL). Then you tie that all together with the Javascript API.
In other words, you could pretty easily define a document that contains multiple paragraphs with optional comments and then have them displayed as bubbles exactly the way you want them; when saved, a script on the server could be executed that converts the XML to a Word document.
Take a look at the demos.
If they are Word 2007 documents, you can use Silverlight. Here's an example application that uses Silverlight to open a Word 2007 document and display it in the browser.
Since StackOverflow is a programmer site, I'll assume you're a programmer. You can use Silverlight to add the bubbles and annotations to a Word 2007 document, but you'll need to know VB.NET or C#.
Take a look at docx2web.appspot.com which is (currently) a very bare bones editor with the distinguishing feature that the browser is directly manipulating (more or less) the "flat OPC" version of the docx.
This means that there is no lossy conversion on either the way in or the way out. So for example, when you save after editing, anything which was in the original docx is round tripped back to Word.
As far as support for older .doc is concerned, POI can be used to convert them to .docx (although your mileage may vary).
Why are you trying to compete with google docs?
I know that TinyMCE provides some rich controls for in browser editing. Last time i looked at it, it had 100% of the stuff i would normally use in word, and then some. On the other hand, i probably has 1% of the features that MS word provides. It would be VERY difficult to implement it all.
As far as saving to MS word compatible format. i am sure its possible. it would probably be easier to save to a non-doc format.
As far as popups etc, those can be easy built using jquery UI or any other javascript framework.
Bottom line: yes, its possible, but why?!
It is possible. For example eyeOS has a text processing application able to open and process Microsoft Office and OpenOffice.org text documents.
