The team had just created an analytics dashboard web application for a client. During the demo, client asks: "Can we have a download button that saves all the graphs in a powerpoint, 1 graph per slide with a title?"

    well, it does not sound ridiculus. When i hear analytics somewhere (worked for piwik for around 2 years) I know they'll need presentation to show it to someone. If youre not comfortable with pp you should propose some alternative. But its your life :-)

    @mort you do have a point, but I guess at the time it felt unusual haha. We did offer to instead export the data to an excel file. Not as sleek, but the client was okay with it 👍🏻

    pdf Export is pretty easy...
    You could export to PDF and suggest some PDF viewer with presentation mode.
    If you want the slides to look fancy, you could even prepare some latex-beamer-template and call latex to generate the PDF.

    @Anaeijon I sometimes like to use some CSS to style a print ready PDF.
