Well, there's already, for instance, an Okular generator plugin in Calligra that uses the Calligra engine to create pages of a presentation in ppt, pptx or odp for Okular. But Okular and Calligra are different in many ways, and Okular is a pure viewer. That Calligra Active is a good viewer right now is not a fundamental limitation: later on, it can become a full-fledged editor. The other difference is that Calligra Active uses the Calligra engine underneath its specialized touch interface, which is implemented with QML. I think that Okular, even the core, is currently very much wedded to QWidget still.
