I was able to get a version of JapserReports Server 5.2 compiled with the patch. download the JasperReports Server source, and the source files for the pptx patch, and use eclipse (or your java IDE of choice) to edit the source files so they compile. Use this guide here: http://community.jaspersoft.com/wiki/using-pptx-source-implement-within-your-own-environment for the new files, it helps to compare them to the existing Docx files, the structure should be similar. If you have a good background in java development, you should be able to get it working (it took me about a week)

I am trying to add a PowerPoint export capability to our JasperReports Server, and I am having some difficulty getting the 5.2 source to compile with the PPTX Exporter modifications. I have also noticed that there is a commercial product, Aspose.Slides, which claims to be an all-inclusive solution (it looks like you just drop a JAR in and change a few config files); however it is also rather expensive. Can the PPPTX Exporter be made to work with any newer versions of JasperReports server? Is there a better way to go about getting this functionality?
