PowerPoint (PPT)

There are two different approaches to protect Powerpoint files.

Using the PowerPoint Viewer

Using the PowerPoint Viewer is easy to handle and adds the same protection level like protecting EXE files. The PowerPoint Viewer is provided for free and is included in the main PowerPoint installation.

•	All animations including video and audio are supported

•	No conversion necessary

•	PowerPoint Viewer is free

•	Not the same strong protection level like a converted flash file will offer

•	No menu can be added to select different presentations

•	As all files have to be extracted from a database, the size for the project should not exceed 100 MB

•	Printing can not be disabled (always enabled)

•	Macros inside PPT are not supported - You would need Licence Protector - www.Licence-Protector.com but requires development work

PPT Conversion to Flash

The PPT files can be converted into flash and therefore are protected with the highest security level, which Multimedia Protector offers for flash files.

•	Highest protection level

•	A menu can be used to start different presentations

•	The size of the complete project does not matter as files are loaded into memory only when used

•	Printing can be enabled or disabled

•	Some special animation effects will not work with converters

•	The file has to be converted

•	The converter is not free

•	Macros inside PPT are not supported - You would need Licence Protector - www.Licence-Protector.com which requires development work
