I am using the July 4th poi jars with lucene for indexing. For a
particular PowerPoint file I am getting the following exception. Anyone
know why?
I am using the hpsf package to get the metadata.
Error finding Current User Atom:

I wonder if it's some really old powerpoint file? Can you try opening it
in powerpoint, and see if you can get it to tell you what format it's in?

All powerpoint files should have a CurrentUser stream. It points to where
you can find the PersistPtr, and without that, you can't tell which
records to use.

Nick, Can you help me with this? I even tried the new nightly build and
looked into the source code. The java file mentions that it is a special
stream in the PowerPoint file stream. I am getting this error for only
one file.

thanks,
suba suresh.

See my earlier suggestion. I think it might be a really old file

When you say "really old", is there a format or version number? As the
hwpf libraries work only for 97-02 file format.

Not sure. I know it'll work for PPT97 and newer. I don't have any older
documents to try with, so it's quite possible that older versions will
have a different file structure, and not be compatible.

If you do identify the first version of PPT we don't support, shout and
I'll put that on the site

Will let you know once I know the version number.
