Ask HN: Tool to Combine PPT/PPTX Files?

3 points by raizinho ↗ HN
I'm working on a curiosity project where I want to split different pptx slideshows into single slides and then rearrange them.

The splitting part was easy enough with [officer](https://github.com/davidgohel/officer) but there aren't much options for putting them back together. I found some VBA scripts (none of which I want to use), and a [perl/js script](https://github.com/adamkewley/ppt-combiner-console/blob/master/pptCombiner.js) which only works on Windows and seems pretty fragile.

Are there any command line tools that could do this?

Export to a PDF then reorder the PDF pages would by my process which is doable on the command line, wipes out all those distracting item-level animations in the process too. :-)
