------- Additional comments from nemore...@openoffice.org Sun Feb 7 09:26:03 +0000 2010 ------- OK, some more detail: OOo impress can create animations, i.e. presentations pages which content changes over time (often triggered by click or timeout). When exporting such a page to PDF, OOo creates a single PDF page without the animations. The created page may even not ever be visible in the actual presentation as performed in OOo. On the other hand, beamer allows the creation of "animations" in PDF by creating several PDF pages for the same presentation page. Each PDF page shows a different step in the animation (before or after an effect: showing, hiding or moving objects). Beamer doesn't support smooth moving of objects like OOo (unless you are willing to create by hand all of the required steps) but at least the PDF file can be used for the most common (or simple) animations available in OOo. An animated page can be seen as such: * initial state * first (set of) animation * second state * second set of animations * third state * ... * final state In the current PDF export, an animated page is exported as a single PDF page, corresponding to the page as it can be seen in the slide designer (which may or may not correspond to any state visible in the presentation itself). In a "beamer-like" PDF export, an animated page would be exported as several PDF pages, corresponding to each or the intermediate states (the so called "initial state", "second state", ... "final state"). I'm not sure of the level of detail required for the implementation of such a feature, feel free to ask for more. I can provide examples of beamer-generated PDF files, but many examples are available on the web already, at least on the beamer website: http://latex-beamer.sourceforge.net Best regards --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
