Hello everybody,

I've got an urgent problem and I hope the solution is very easy and just not visible for me yet. I am a dilletant in graphic design and lay-outing, however, the first task for my new boss is to design three A1-poster for a conference. I did it in OOImpress 3.2 as this is the only grapic software I've at least a little bit of experience. The creation went very well and I was surprised how easy it works. When I tried to export the file as a png-file I've got a bad surprise, as the result was not as sharp as in OOImpress, rather very blurry.

So I searched the internet for a solution, but just found that thread (http://openoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4499). I've spent nearly an hour reading that, but unfortunately I wasn't able to find a working solution. The issue is pressing as the posters have to go the printing service today and on top of that, I have to design a broschure out of those posters over the weekend (and I don't want to start until I know that it will work). I've just tried to export a A4-page with very basic graphics on it, but the esult was the same as with the big posters.

So my question:

1. Is it really impossible to export slides of OOImpress in an appropriate way? 2. If it is not possible within the programm, is there any external programm that could help to convert? Has any body some experience with the extension named in the thread?

It is such a pity as I was defending OO in discussions with my new collegues just a two days ago (and I know that it works in PPT).

I'm working on a 64bit-Vista-machine. The posters contain just very basic graphics with colour fadings. Maybe it is just the picture viewer that is not capable to show the graphics but I do not think so as I tried IrfanViewer, Win Picture Viewer and PaintNET.

Many thanks for all your help, links and advice!!!!

David
