Hi,

I am not able to extract embedded document information of PPT. PPT has been embedded with simple excel and word documents, but those events are not raised.

When i checked with ppt/excel/word files embedded in word(or)excel those content extraction is successful.

Only with PPT there is problem. There are no events raised by the Reader for embedded objects.

Could you pls. suggest the reason for this ASAP?

Powerpoint doesn't embed documents as POIFS (ole2) substreams. It stores them in its own records
