Impress: Custom animation not exported to pdf

[Alboermita]

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

Hi,

When I export my impress presentation to pdf (using OpenOffice 3.1.0, same problem in 3.0) - either in Ubuntu 8.10 or Vista (I have a dual boot on a Toshiba A-300), the transition effects are lost (whether or not the box "use transition effects" is checked, and no matter which PDF format (tagged or PDF/A) is used)

Any ideas?

[Julien-touche (julien-touche)]

like http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=16036, it would be great
that export pdf could support animation & transition.
this is supported by pdf

see chapter 8 and 9 of http://www.adobe.com/devnet/pdf/pdf_reference.html

We export slide transitions but we have much more transitions then Acrobat Reader.
Therefore it is possible that you see another slide transition in the Acrobat
Reader then the seleced in OOo.
I didn't found information about custom animations in PDF.
Please tell me where I can find information about custom animations in PDF.

[Julien-touche (julien-touche)]

i think slides transitions can be soled as one of the following options chosen
by user
- export only one which exist in both
- same but default chosen transition when none exists in pdf
- no transition.

Main point is animation. i've seen a pdf magazine with a lot of them, but i need
to find again the link.
else in pdf reference, version 1.7, animations can be done, i believe, through
3D streams (9.5.2) and transition actions (p. 670).

i'll try to find the above example when i will have more time in a few weeks.

This is an enhancement.

Please note pdf could also have embedded video which, i believe, is not
supported at this time.

[Xiang (l6g)]

I consider this feature is much important since there isn't a portable Impress
Viewer. As a result, hardly for a people to take odp files with himself anywhere.

Animation in pdf, I think, should deal with one situation first. That is, some
contents are overlaid by a textbox which appears after an extra click.

Can you please attach an example document exhibiting this problem? Please attach both the original document and the resulting pdf.

[Chris Cheney (ccheney)]

Actually if you can reproduce the export problem under Vista using the official openoffice.org from http://openoffice.org/ then please report this bug upstream at http://www.openoffice.org/issues/query.cgi as the problem is hard for me to reproduce it would be better if you worked with the OpenOffice.org developers directly on this problem. After reporting the problem in their bugtracker please attach the bug number to this bug report. If you see that it is not an upstream problem then let me know that too. Thanks!

Hi Chris,

I attach the documents produced in OO 3.1 under Ubuntu 8.10.
I'll also try the other suggestion you give (contacting OO developers).

Thanks a lot,
Albo

I would definitely use a pdf export option to place the simple appear/disappear
animations on separate pages of the pdf file.

[Stuart Rossiter (monsieurrigsby)]

I would agree with david1313 that basic Appear animations are by far the most
crucial and useful; and probably the simplest to code, since this is "just"
looping through the appeared elements, generating a new PDF page for each
"snapshot". (I appreciate that the OpenOffice internals might mean this is *not*
so simple to code!)

And I'd also guess that Appears animations are by far the most common of all the
custom animations.

The extension ExpandAnimations does exactly this with "appear" and "disappear" animations (http://github.com/downloads/monperrus/ExpandAnimations/ExpandAnimations-latest.oxt).

There are no new official OpenOffice.org releases in Ubuntu packaging anymore => Won't Fix

If the problem persists, please mark this bug as "also affects project Libreoffice" or "also affects distribution Libreoffice (Ubuntu)" if that has not happened already.

Please leave references to upstream OpenOffice.org bugs in place to allow cross pollination.

Alboermita, this is:
- a clearcut upstream issue. Your welcome to send this to the developers of the software by following the instructions at http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport
- won't be fixed in LibreOffice Packaging
Resolving as Won't Fix in LibreOffice Packaging. This does not mean the issue will not be cared about, but if it is cared about (even by Ubuntu/Canonical contributors), it is done upstream at LibreOffice.

libreoffice (Ubuntu) => Won't Fix

Sadly this OXT is not longer available.
