It depends on what do you want to have in this XML. PPTX is based on XML, too, by the way...

That makes no sense at all. A PPTX file is a PowerPoint 2007 or higher file, which is just a .ZIP file with a bunch of .XML and other resource files already in it. What you ask isn't possible in a way that makes any sense.

Hi,

refer below links to read the text from .pptx file.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/cc850836.aspx[^]

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8029276/get-text-with-correct-font-from-pptx-with-openxml[^]

once you read the text, then you get the XMLDocument from that string, try below code for that.

C#

StringReader reader = new StringReader(strText);
XmlTextReader xmlReader = new XmlTextReader(reader);
XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.Load(xmlReader);

hope it helps.
