Recently I've found that I can't open pptx files from my email on my iPad. This is really frustrating and whilst previously the formatting was never great, it used to work and I could review presentations whilst on the move.
Apple please get onto this and provide a fix.
iPad, iOS 7.1
We are user just like yourself and can't speak for or respond for Apple. Having said that, have you tried some of the Office Apps/Viewers on your iPad....Quick Office Pro HD, or the new PowerPoint for iPad? Also, I assume you have done the basic troubleshooting like restarting/resetting your device...
Look at the Rccharles answer on this post.

Also, you can download these free MS Office apps (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) to view (but not create or edit) these files.
