## FAQ

### What does this rendering extension do?

It adds PowerPoint output to SQL Server Reporting Services and Power BI Report Server, so an RDL report can be delivered as a presentation instead of only as PDF or Excel.

### Which inputs and outputs are supported?

It accepts RDL and RPL input and writes PPT, PPTX, PPS, PPSX and XPS.

### Does it need PowerPoint on the report server?

No. The extension generates the presentation files itself, so the report server needs no Office installation.

### How is it installed?

As a rendering extension registered with the report server, from the [Reporting Services downloads](https://releases.aspose.com/slides/reportingservices/). Once registered, PowerPoint appears in the export list beside the built-in formats.
