We need some more details about what you are asking for.

For the Power Point, are you asking about running the slide show on your Web site? With Xara, I have not seen a Power Point ran on a Xara site, so not sure it is even possible. Nothing comes up in search.

With a lot of the sites out there now, even WordPress most people convert the Power Point to PDF and let the user just look at the PDF.

What is your question about PDF?

Import the PowerPoint Presentation to a XAR doc, choose Web Export options and select Supersite, change the first page filename (to something other than index e.g. "slide" ), and publish to the same directory as your main website.

Create a proportionally sized placeholder (same as your presentation) in your main website and use the iframe code:

<iframe src="slide.htm" name="slide" height="100%" width="100%" style="border:none;"></iframe>

Add a Powerpoint logo and link this to your original presentation should you want your visitors to have access to the presentation. e.g https://initiostar.co.uk/demo/Presentation/

PDFs - depends on your design objectives - I would extract the content (via import) to the main website and make the PDF available as a download.

can easily just export the PPT to PDF
so = what is best way to allow "READ" a pdf (ie not want it to be DL)
or another option is to have the PPT exported as images and just load the images
but I want to some form of page-turning
and not sure how this (and all solutions) will also look on mobile versions

You may have already seen this, but here’s an example of a Supersite presentation with bullet point and page transitions:

And here’s Xara’s support article about Supersites:

Great scoop! ty!!
will edit the pdf to be landscape
the supersite looks EZ
(not sure how some of the pages has individual items appear)
eg like animated fly-ins for the bullets etc
this is not needed now - but in the future -- might be nice to have

For another option is you could use something like a converter from PDF to to HTML flip book that you would place in an Iframe. These converters are fairly expense but there are some that have free ones with advertising.

I have played with pageflip.io and it works fairly well.

i found a GREAT pdf flip program -- on sale - a lifetime for LOW$$
( forget the price -- can get if you want)
but did not get as I did not know how to embed
if iFrame - great -- did Many of those over the years

Ray, at €649, I would expect it to write the book/magazine as well.

Here is one that embeds into Xara Desktop applications nicely: https://heyzine.com.
Free for 5 unlimited size books. For any number of PDFs is is $27/y. I think the Pro version at $89/y would pay for itself with just one client delivery.

Respect this demo code of Xara's PDF Help Manual.
It will stop working in a week's time:

<iframe allowfullscreen="" scrolling="no" class="fp-iframe" style="border: 1px solid lightgray; width: 100%; height: 100%;" src="https://heyzine.com/flip-book/54639be8f2.html"></iframe>

The link is: https://heyzine.com/flip-book/54639be8f2.html
It should open into the book anywhere: https://heyzine.com/flip-book/54639be8f2.html#page/132 works if you have already opened the book.

IFRAME - Present PDF as a Flipbook.xar

P.S. @Xara - once again something that could readily integrate into your XWR format is totally scuppered by the IE millstone. Please, please, please deliver us a Preview Browser that bypasses IE and rip it out of all the nooks and crannies you have stuffed it into.
