However animations are non-critical and in fact a pointless decorative fancy that serious users of impress shouldn't use in any case. The critical factor is the Enduser, as Stephen has pointed out, the Enduser of his presentations is Digitally Challenged and installing a new piece of software just to view a single presentation is not an optimal solution. PDF is, which is why we have export to PDF, just for this very situation, a factor that has put us ahead of the opposition for quite a number of years. AOOs handling of the PDF format is one of it's great strengths. Something to be celebrated, not suppressed. Use of an open format like PDF also means that we don't have to force people to install our software, just to view it, another of our strengths.
