Title: Reading .pptx files in Centos
Post by: davo777 on May 05, 2020, 10:20:33 AM
Hello, I've been trying to deploy an application using ExifTool and the java integration. Running it on windows has been great, and it returns the correct metadata for both .pptx and .pdf files. I've just tried deploying it to linux and my test cases are now failing. It seems like it's reading the .pptx files as zipped files. Has anyone dealt with this before?

Cheers

Do you have Archive::Zip installed on your Linux system?  What is the output of this command for you?:

exiftool -ver -v
ExifTool version 11.98
Perl version 5.018004 (-C0)
Platform: darwin
Optional libraries:
  Archive::Zip                 1.37
  Compress::Zlib               2.06
  Digest::MD5                  2.52
  Digest::SHA                  5.84_02
  IO::Compress::Bzip2          2.060
  POSIX::strptime              0.13
  Unicode::LineBreak           2016.003

Hi Phil,

Archive::Zip wasn't installed, that's fixed it. Cheers
