If it is one to one, then you can use Smack's file transfer feature to transfer the file to the viewer. Then you can probably use a separate namespace in to relay the forward/backward command. The side effect is that you can also chat while you are viewing the slide.

To display the PPT file you can OfficeBean from you Java application.

You can also use a chatroom for group viewing although you have to figure out what is the best way to transfer the PPT file to people who will be joining the chatroom later. One way would be to implement a service ( disco#item / disco#info ) to keep track of meta info like what sessions are currently on and where the files can be located (eg. from Google Docs).
