Hello,

you can use following code to check primary content file extension. 

This code could be used in a transition as a Complete Task 

 Alert message is shown to user if he tries to complete a wf task. 

//primary object has to be type wtDocument
wt.doc.WTDocument wtDoc = (wt.doc.WTDocument) wt.content.ContentHelper.service.getContents((wt.doc.WTDocument) primaryBusinessObject);
wt.content.ContentItem docContent = wtDoc.getPrimary();
if (docContent instanceof wt.content.ApplicationData)
{
 //get filename of primary content
 java.lang.String filename = (( wt.content.ApplicationData) docContent).getFileName();
 if (!filename.endsWith(".pptx") && !filename.endsWith(".ppt")) // if extension is not ppt and pptx
 {
 // message shown to a user
 java.lang.String msg = "the primary file do not contains supported extensions. " + "\n ppt and pptx are supported";
 java.lang.Exception exp = new java.lang.Exception(msg);
 throw exp;
 }
}
