Hello Joost,
Yes you're right: the size of the PS file is smaller when I select these
options.

My goal is two-fold:
#1 export each slide of an Impress into an image: this is done using
GraphicObjectFilter
#2 extract the bounding box of each word on each slide

I couldn't find a way to directly extract this information.
However, I can export the presentation to PDF and then use XPDF to extract
the words and their bounding boxes.
But: saving to PDF was very slow sometimes.
Solution: remove all shapes that are not text on each slide.

Exporting to PDF is then much faster, but for some reason I can't get rid of
all bitmaps.
For example, I have a problem going inside a group when the ShapeType is
"GroupShape".

Is there a sample code somewhere to navigate through shapes on a DrawPage
and going inside the groups?
Also, is the index of the first shape within a group 0?

Laurent.

Hi Laurent,

if you print to a postscript printer and want to reduce transparency,
gradients and other things to reduce the output size of the printout
then please have a look at /tools/options/print.

Kind regards, Joost
