pptx quality within Confluence

[romain bonnet]

Hi all,

I have an issue while including a pptx slide within Confluence. Here is an example of slide and what i get in Confluence:

The outcome is pretty ugly (missing lines, connector, font issue, table shape...). I'm using Confluence 6.5.0. Do you know if improvement occurs with the newest version? Did i make a mistake somewhere? any recommendation to avoid this type of problem?

thanks for your help ^^.

Hi there, Romain.

The issue that you are facing here has been reported before in the following bug report:

• CONFSERVER-41523: Formating issues with ppt preview macro

So, I won't say that upgrading will improve the behavior that you are experiencing here for now. For now, I encourage you to visit the bug page linked above and click the Watch link near the top right to show support for the feature. By doing this, it will ensure you are proactively informed of progress and updates going forward. Share your feedback by leaving a comment on the ticket as this helps us prioritize the bug better. 

Meanwhile, may I know if the same behavior continues to persist even after removing and reuploading the ppt presentation again?

Hi, Romain.

Quick update on this. I came across the The Text in a PowerPoint, Excel or Word Document is Missing or Looks Different when Using the Viewfile Macro KB which might offer some help specific to the font issue you mentioned. Let me know how it goes.

Thanks for the update. I'll make some test with my Confluence admin.
