Hi All,

Any idea how to read a .ppt file in Cocoa Touch ?

I tried to load the contents of the file in UIWebView but it didn't work. Here is the code :

[aWebView loadData:[NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:filePath]
          MIMEType:@"application/vnd.ms-powerpoint"
  textEncodingName:@"utf-8"
           baseURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:filePath]];

[powerWeb loadData:[NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:filePath]
          MIMEType:@"application/vnd.ms-powerpoint"
  textEncodingName:@"utf-8"
           baseURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:filePath]];

All suggestions are highly appreciated.

Thanks
