As an alternative, how about trying XML::Handler::AxPoint instead of Powerpoint? As a demonstration, here is my latest work with it.

now all we need is a YAML2axp translator ... ;)

I'm also a happy AxPoint user. I noticed that your PDF file includes a number of sequences of slides which are the same but with the addition of one bullet point. Did you know that AxPoint supports having the bullet points appear one at a time? Just add a `transition="replace"` attribute to the `<point>` elements. The advantage is that if you print the resulting PDF, then each slide will only take up one page rather than many. Update after re-reading the docs, you need to use -p on the command line to generate a 'print' version with one page per slide. The version you use on-screen in the presentation should be generated without -p and will use multiple pages for the bullet-at-a-time effect.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
