What is a .pptx file?
PPTX is the default Microsoft PowerPoint format, an Office Open XML presentation packaged as a ZIP archive of slide XML, layouts, media, and themes. It stores slides, shapes, text, images, and speaker notes. It is the standard for editable slide decks.
How to use this file
Use an example PPTX to test presentation parsing, slide and notes extraction, embedded-media handling, and converters that render decks to PDF or images.
How to use this file for testing
“PPTX with Speaker Notes” is a deterministic Novus Examples fixture for Conversion testing. The same content exported across many formats and linked as a group, so you can convert one and diff against the expected twin.
Documented properties for this file: 4 slides. Compare results against paired or grouped companions on this page when present (clean↔damaged, searchable↔scanned, or format twins) so scores stay reproducible across runs.
Download the file once, keep the path stable in CI or local scripts, and treat the spec table as the contract: dimensions, seeds, field lists, and roles are intentional. Corrupt or invalid samples are labelled as such — expect parsers to fail loudly rather than silently accept them.
Document fixtures list their internal structure (pages, fields, tracked changes, embedded objects) in the spec table. Test extractors, converters, and OCR against that known structure, and compare searchable↔scanned or format-twin companions when present.
