Hello I wish to work on a project that creates OpenOffice.org Presentation (odp) files using shell scripts, without invoking openoffice desktop. Basically I wish to convert a presentation in one format (it is not ppt, and not in any format that openoffice can currently, or probably ever, will read / understand).
Can someone please point me to a guide that uses python, or some such API, to actually write the contents of the zip archive and explains the structure in some detail for making simple presentations (no animations, sound or movies - just simple graphics and text) ? I have googled around, but all the guides I can find are either for using python with an open session of openoffice or involve going into the UNO framework which looks very complicated and daunting. Alternatively, is there a (preferably free) tool on Linux to convert PDFs to odp (and I am NOT talking about exporting each page of the pdf as a single image into a presentation) ? Thanks. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
