I've done some digging and returned fruitless, I'm hoping someone can assist.
We had a co-worker leave us recently, and it appears the original PPT file document used to create the published zip file has been deleted.
Is there any way to extract the PPT file, and any articulate engage files for that matter, from of the published zip file? If yes, would you please explain the process.
Have you thought about a SWF "ripper" or "decompiler"? A quick web search will turn up several options; some of those allow you to save out asset types separately.... sounds as MP3s, images/screens as PNGs and JPEGS, etc.
What I have NOT seeen, is a way to go directly back into PowerPoint with the content. But perhaps if you can decompile much of the content into other types of assets, you can edit it and republish as needed.

Hi Matt,

Hope this helps,

Hi, thanks for the quick response! Your tip was very helpful, but unfortunately I am looking for a way to specifically pull out the PPT file ; ;
I knew it was a long shot, but you never know until you try! Thanks again!
Sorry Matt no way to get back to the original files from the published files
Phil's right, unless you can salvage the file using an undelete tool.
