Description raihankibria 2008-09-16 15:25:16 UTC 
I am using soffice to convert (programmatically) MS Powerpoint 2003 documents in
to gif/jpg images one image for each slide. The Open Office conversion engine
for windows can convert nicely for all slides. However, the linux version of the
soffice conversion engine has some issues. The issues are not frequent however
they exist. I have tried on Fedora Core 3 and Fedora Core 8  using different
versions of Open Office, namely, 2.3 and 2.4.

The issue is when an object in power point slide goes out of page margin the
conversion fails as a result of which a garbled slide is produced.

Another issue is, when a picture is imported and is not converted to "Drawing
object" before included in ppt slide it causes similar result as above.

The above problems occurs only with the linux version of OO. The windows version
works fine. The OO version I used is OOo_2.4.1_LinuxIntel_install_en-US.tar.gz.

@raihankibria: Do you have any chance to test if the problem is already gone in
a current version (3.1)? Thanks.

Hi!
Many many thanks for looking into this issue. I will test on 3.1 in a day or
two. I did not reply earlier because of some login issues.

Many thanks. You guys are doing a heck of a job.

Regards.

Just checked with OpenOffice 3.0 on Fedora 10. It is fine. Therefore, the above
issues is resolved.
