I've had a bit of a major malfunction with my computer and lost the original PPT files that I built a couple of presentations on. The computer malfunctioned so badly our IT guys couldn't get anything off it.
Does anyone know if there is anyway to recover the PPT presentation from the published articulate files? I've got everything published to our LMS so the courses are all functional, I just can't change/update them....
I'd rather not recreate the wheel if I don't have to...
The only thing I can think of is to perhaps to screen captures of the slides. There may be some sort of OCR product that can read the text or even extract it. Doesn't Evernote do something like that?
This might be another option. What if you recreated one or two slides with the slide master backgrounds and then recreate only the files as you need them.
You could recreate a slide, publish and take the .swf file and replace the existing file on the server. This might make more sense if you're not having to update a bunch of files.
I feel for you brother, that's tough.
BTW, I use DropBox for my development. It backs up several versions and it's saved me so many times.
Frustrated then you need to get a reliable application to repair corrupt PowerPoint.(ppt/.pptx/.pptm) files and restore all the data perfectly which was store in PowerPoint file. The software efficiently restores various PowerPoint objects, such as Tables, Header and Footer, Charts, WordArt objects, etc.This software supports all modern PowerPoint version like 97, 2000, 2003, 2007, 2010 and 2013.

Hey Chris - Can't say I haven't been there myself.
Did you lose your Quizmaker and Engage files too?

Thanks RC and ya, this was only PowerPoint files. No Quizmaker or Engage in this one.

Thanks everyone.
I think I'll rebuild the slides as I need them. I really like the idea of taking screenshots as a quick-hit solution, too.
Seriously, thank you so much!

Hello,
I have the same problem only with lots of engage files and some quizmaker.
Options?
Hi Tom!
If you've only got the published versions, there is not a way to turn that back into a project file.
