Answer 1

If it was an PPTX, you could read it using OpenXML. Since you specifically asked for PPT, it is a little harder.

You shouldn't use Automation / Interop for sure, since it isn't supported in a server environment.

That means you have to use third-party tools to read the PPT. If you google for them, you will see a long list of them. I have never worked with it, but Aspose seems to do the job very well.
