Encountered same problem:

The ppt I loaded was a pptx file at first and was saved as a ppt file, hope this clue can help.

I'm having this same issue. Pptx files load fine, but any ppt that I try throws this error.

I keep having the same error no matter what .ppt file I throw at it.

$pptReader = \PhpOffice\PhpPresentation\IOFactory::createReader('PowerPoint97');
$presentation = $pptReader->load($path_to_file);

Results in errors like:
PhpOffice\PhpPresentation\Exception\FeatureNotImplementedException: The feature is not implemented. Please create an issue.

I tried it on latest 1.0.0 version and latest dev version.

If any of the developers can confirm that they can successfully read one .ppt file, could you please share that specific .ppt file perhaps so I can use that one for testing in my code ?

Also, it would be nice if there was a way to read the parts that the code can read, and just ignore and skip stuff that the code cannot read instead of stopping and throwing a FeatureNotImplementedException. At least this would yield a usable result. There might be cases where the code can actually read more than 90% of the .ppt file but fails due to a single FeatureNotImplementedException.

In my case I just want to parse an uploaded .ppt file and extract the plain text from it. This will be used to perform in-document searches. A general getAllText() function or something for the Reader would be awesome.

Could you give us a sample file for improving the library ?

Could you give us a sample file for improving the library ?

Sure, Got this example file from the internet myself. Had to zip it becaus github would not allow me to directly upload a .ppt file.
Example 1:
file_example_PPT_500kB.zip
Example 2:
pptexamples.zip
