How to start the display of a ppt-file from Java Desktop application?

843810Feb 3 2010 — edited Feb 4 2010

Is it possible to start a PowerPointPresentation (ppt / pptx-file) with Java?
Opening the file simply works with Desktop.open.
Can I somehow pass a parameter, so that the ppt-file starts in display mode?
Currently I ask my customers to convert to pps - but they find that difficult.
There seems to be a way with http://j-integra.intrinsyc.com/support/com/doc/#other_examples/Powerpoint_from_Java.htm
Also asked in jacob forum if that could be helpful.
Unfortunately, I'm not yet too familiar with JNI, so I'd need an example
Any help appreciated.
