Conversion to HTML

Some advantages of the conversion approach include:

The resulting HTML document has the "look and feel" of the Web.
With a small of amount of extra effort, the author can add hypertext markup to the resulting HTML, introducing cross references, external links, and multimedia material.

Some problems with this approach include:

In our experience, most conversion tools tend to produce results of varying, but generally poor, quality. Managing the conversion can also be very time consuming.
The presenter now has two copies of the presentation in two formats. Worse, the "derived" (HTML) copy may have had changes, such as the hyperlinks mentioned above. Attempting to always keep two versions of the same document consistent can become a real headache!
