Pptx Upload Process Failed

I'm actually using office automation on Win7 64-bit with PowerPoint to manipulate PowerPoint presentations. A PPTX was uploaded from the internet and the process failed. I opened the PPTX directly with PowerPoint and got the error "PowerPoint found a problem with content" and asked if I wanted to repair. I said yes, saved it as another PPTX, and everything was ok. This happens only with this one file. I've unchecked all the protected view settings in the trust center, set my computer to authentication and impersonation to connect and identify, enabled macros and Active X controls, added the upload path to trusted settings, right-clicked the PPTX, properties, but there is no "unblock" to unblock. Nothing has fixed the issue. What else can I check or is this just a bad PPTX since it's the only one we've found like this?

If you are unable to upload the PowerPoint presentation, check for the following:
  1. Make sure the presentations you upload is not read only file.
  2. If the presentation is password protected or corrupt it will not upload.

To test if the presentation is corrupt, follow the given steps:

  1. Open the presentation in MS-PowerPoint.
  2. Go to File Menu and then select ''Save as web page''.
  3. If the file gets successfully saved as web page, your PowerPoint is fine and if MS-PowerPoint crashes it means the file is corrupt

Did you manipulate the XML of this particular presentation with code? Open XML is very unforgiving and even tiny mistakes will give that error message.

You should also consider that it's just a corrupt file though complex tables can cause errors.

Visit this great source for additional information. Maybe will find something useful in that issue.
