[libreoffice-users] Include movie in PDF export?
LibreOffice 3.4.6 on Fedora 16, x86_64, installed from the repositories. I can place an .avi file in a Writer document and it plays fine in the document. But I need to play the video during a presentation in class and the university computers do not have LibreOffice on them, so the obvious solution is to export as PDF. However, I can't get the video to play in the PDF. Can it be done? -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Re: [libreoffice-users] Include movie in PDF export?
Hi :) How about using the portable version? http://www.libreoffice.org/download/portable/ Then on any Windows machine just plug in your Usb-stick and you find LibreOffice is 'installed'. When you unplug the usb-stick it disappears off the system. It's a rather neat way of getting all your favourite apps on any Windows machine that you don't really have permission to install stuff onto. You might even be able to have the presentation on the same stick.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Include movie in PDF export?
Hi :) You don't boot-up with the usb-stick plugged in. You just boot-up and login as normal and then stick the usb-stick in. If you could boot-up from the usb-stick then there are tons of even better things you could do such as run an entirely different OS straight from the usb-stick (i've done this quite a lot). It kinda freaks people out until they find that when the usb-stick is unplugged then rebooting the machine does go back into their normal Windows with no trace of the system you were running. However the portable install neatly avoids all that fuss and just works on the normal Windows that the machine is locked into.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Include movie in PDF export?
Hi :) Sometimes the IT department love playing around with OpenSource stuff. It tends to be much easier to maintain and fix and there are none of the usual worries about properly activating the right licensing on the right machines. On the other hand other IT Departments feel threatened by it and revealing that you use OpenSource or anything other than MS stuff gets them all worried about security and other FUD they have been fooled into believing. So, i would be wary about asking the IT Department until after you have successfully run the portable system a few times and shown it doesn't cause them any problems. Hmmm, also i was wondering if Google-docs has a presentation app that you could use to show the slides? If they do then that might be a less scary route.
