PPT to JPG's server side conversion

[Marcin]

I need to implement the following:
Upload the ppt to server and convert ppt file to jpg's on the server
side.

I did it in ASP:
Set ppt = Server.CreateObject("PowerPoint.Application")
ppt.Visible = True
Set pres = ppt.Presentations.Open(pptFile,False,False,False)
pres.Export destFolder, fileType, width, height

It is pretty stable but not fully.
I think this article explains why:

Is there a better approach to my solution?
I came across PIA for Office and Office Web Components. Are these any
good for what I want to do?

Thanks in advance.

Why do you want to make it visible? It will be more efficient if it were
invisible.

ppt.Visible = True

It did not want to work without that line or with ppt.Visible = False;
Try it...

Marcin,

Just delete that line, don't try to hide it. I do it all the time.
