Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 96214
impress effects in exported pdf
Last modified: 2024-04-11 12:54:23 UTC
Hello, I made a presentation with very simple effects : boxes appearing in order to highlight some points. Then I exported a pdf file (with the box "use transition effects" checked)... I was expecting that one slide would produce several pdf pages, where each successive pdf page would correspond to next effect (beamer-like). In my precise case, I was expecting highlight boxes to appear the one after the other. However, only one pdf page was produced, with all the elements already on that page. I could not get what I expected. I am not looking for bells and whistles, animated transitions or 3D effects... I just would like things to appear the one after the other, according to the ordering of the effects. Isn't it possible ??? Am I missing something ? Regards, O.C.
Created attachment 58002 [details] Short exemple : the effect is OK inside ooimpress, two pdf pages should be output
Spreading an effect to several pages would be a new feature I suppose. And on the other hand the number of effects that can be displayed by Acrobat is limited. I reassign this issue to get a propper answer. sj, can you add a comment, please?
+1, an export to pdk like beamer is very needful to use it easily. Thanks to improve pdf export.
Removing all special effects while just adding a new page each time something appears/disappears would be a very important feature already.
I'd like to second (third?) this. There was an example implementation in this posting, which does the job for me: http://www.mail-archive.com/dev@graphics.openoffice.org/msg00841.html If this gets integrated, the author would need to be contacted to clarify the license and it needs to be integrated into the PDF export with a tick mark "Expand animations". The user should never actually see the expanded slides, they exist only during PDF export. Yours, Steffen

Matthew Neeley published it under LGPL (see https://gist.github.com/977752) > The user should never actually see the expanded slides, > they exist only during PDF export. This is exactly what the extension ExpandAnimations does (based on Matthew Neeley's macro, see http://github.com/downloads/monperrus/ExpandAnimations/ExpandAnimations-latest.oxt) Regards, --Martin
