How can I display a PowerPoint (.ppt or .pptx) file inside a document viewer on a ServiceNow Service Portal page or modal, so that users can view the presentation directly without needing to download it?

@VinitD 

document viewer should support ppt file type

Did you try to use iframe in widget and then use this in the URL to view the file?

/sys_attachment.do?sys_id=fa615af2db573b001c1d468b3a9619fc&view=true
