I wonder what other alternatives to PP might exist for a
possible solution to this. I don't know squat about Flash, but
the client is not married to PP, just needs some kind of
presentation the side can assemble, again basically put images
and text into something that can be displayed to potential
clients.
The OpenOffice API suggestion from Leonard sounds a bit
intriguing but the client doesn't have a huge budget for me to
spend a lot of time experimenting.
I'm wondering what can be done with images and either
ImageMagick or perhaps GD and then something.

Yeah, from Googling around I'm getting the impression there is not a PHP
library capable of doing this. I guess the next best thing we can do is just
let them download files with collections of slides and create the
presentation themselves.

I don't think that's possible. You could look at the Microsoft XML formats
to see if you can take that apart, but it would be tricky. It might be far
easier to do it with the Open Office presentation format, but again, I don't
know of any libraries that are capable of doing this.

I think for COM stuff to work, you'd have to have MS Office installed on
the server. I wouldn't recommend that to anyone; that would be just
another way into the server should someone wish it. Windows and MS
Office are just about the most popular bits of software around, and
Windows is inherently insecure, such that I'd be unsurprised if their
Office software was as insecure.
Thanks,
