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. On 4/3/07, Joost Andrae <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
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. > I noticed that when I try to print to a PS file instead, Impress warns me > that the Impress document contains transparent objects.
