Misc. Tools to Try for PowerPoint Recovery
Name - Corrupt MS Office 2007-2013 Extractor Download URL - http://sourceforge.net/projects/ crrptoffcxtrctr/files Developer - Ccy, S2 Services, Paul Pruitt OS - NA File Size - 1.42 MB Developer Provided Description - "Corrupt Office 2007-2013 Extractor will extract the text/data from corrupt docx, xlsx, and pptx files where the respective MS Office files error out and refuses to open. In advanced mode the program can fix the zip structure of these new "Office Open" format files, a step which I now recommend despite our dissuasive blurb which comes up when you start that function. Advanced mode also allows recovering images and if you are familiar with XML, includes is a basic XML editor for editing corrupt XML which might be causing the docx, xlsx or pptx corruption."

Name - Corrupt PPTX Salvager
Download URL - http://sourceforge.net/projects/ pptxrecovery/files Developer - S2 Services / Paul Pruitt OS - Windows File Size - 12.02 MB Developer Provided Description - "The biggest cause of corruption of pptx corruption appears to be zip problems. This GUI uses a somewhat corruption immune unzipper, 7zip. 7zip sometimes succeeds in extracting the slide xml files that contain the text from corrupt pptx files where PowerPoint 2007 and 2010 fail with their built in unzipper. Furthermore Corrupt PPTX Salvager uses regular expressions to extract the text from these slide XML files rather than getting hung up on correct XML structure as PowerPoint seems to oddly do during recovery attempts. So sometimes when PowerPoint signals an unreadable XML error, this program still extract useful text. Also a recent improvement is adding a zip repair pretreatment using InfoZip's zip.exe -FF command and an alternatives menu with additional ppt and pptx resources. Corrupt_pptx2txt is based on Pptx to Text converter by Sopan Shewale. His project is hosted on Sourceforge. Sopan's project is further based on Sandeep Kumar's docx2txt which is also found here."
