Pptx files are not being indexed by Azure AI Search

Question

Hi,

I have been working on creating indexer over SharePoint Data using Azure AI Search API endpoints. pptx files aren't getting indexed during indexer creating or updating.

Here are the references

Thank you.

Thanks for posting this question.

To better assist you on this - is this issue confined to any specific PPTX file or all PPTX files? Does the other document format index fine?

From the same docs that you referenced – yes, PPTX is supported document format.
Also, please check the Limitations and considerations - Index data from SharePoint document libraries.

To begin with, On Azure Portal, on the Search Service, in the left navigation, click on Diagnose and solve problems – Checkout the tile highlighted files/troubleshooter recommendations (if you haven't done this already).

To isolate the issue, kindly check if there are any error messages
