Linux – Convert .png images into a .ppt presentation on Linux

linuxmicrosoft-powerpointpresentationsslideshow

I've created a presentation as a series of .png images, one per slide. What is a good way to convert these into a .ppt (PowerPoint) that I can give to some audio-visual person? I'm entirely on Linux, with no Windows or Mac software available.

(Or maybe PowerPoint isn't the only game in town for presentation file formats?)

Best Answer

I'd output to PDF, which is commonly used for presentations. To convert use the convert program (from Image Magick).

convert *.png presentation.pdf

If you don't have convert yet, install the imagemagick package

sudo apt-get install imagemagick

(It looks like you can also use convert directly to a .ppt file, but for me this doesn't work as well.)
