The Sun Presentation Minimizer is used to reduce the file size of the current presentation. Images will be compressed, and data that is no longer needed will be removed.
The Sun Presentation Minimizer can optimize the image quality size. Presentations designed for screen or projector do not require the same high quality as presentations designed for print.
Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) objects are useful during the presentation design phase but they are up to twice the size of a regular image.
The Sun Presentation Minimizer can replace these OLE objects with images without any quality loss. In addition to reducing the file size, the Sun Presentation Minimizer can remove speaker notes and hidden slides so that you do not publish confidential information by mistake.
The wizard summarizes of all of the changes that will be made to your presentation, and gives you an estimate of the file size reduction.
Note ! The Sun Presentation Minimizer also works on Microsoft PowerPoint presentations.

Hi All

Excelent extension

It would be nice to have it also for writer documents, at least ability to reduce size of images. Than it would be extension No.1 for me. ankara nakliyat estetik burun estetigi

Bug: Metafile Texts change colors!!!

After minimization, text colors in embedded metafiles partially change!!!

How to reproduce:

(1) Make a drawing containing texts in Draw, copy & paste it as GDI metafile into Impress Slide.

(2) Minimize, then some text colors (expecially after parentheses and line feeds) become white.

Can't install extension

Hi,
I'm using Ubuntu Hardy in OOo 2.4.1 and everytime I try to install the extension I get a "Loading component library failed file:///home/kaiser/.openoffice.org2/user/uno_packages/cache/uno_packages/wFBPhp_/Presentation-Minimizer.oxt/SunPresentationMinimizer.uno.so".
(I changed the name of the file to "Presentation-Minimizer.oxt")

any ideas?

only 32bit binary

The linux version contains only the 32bit binary. So, I get the same error above with 'SunPresentationMinimizer.uno.so'. I tried to anonymously download the CVS source but couldn't figure out what the pserver or path is (help would be appreciated!). Anyway, I found a 64bit binary for openoffice 3.0 and Fedora 10 on pbone.net. I only have openoffice 2.4, but I force installed it (rpm -ihv --nodeps) and it works great under Fedora 9.

Same here

I'm having same problem, running ArchLinux. It started with upgrade from 2.4.0 to 2.4.1, so I guess it's a problem with this version.

This is a wonderful tool, a must-have. I hope it gets fixed soon.

I confirm the same problem

I confirm the same problem (using Ubuntu Hardy and oOo 2.4.1) using the Linux version, which already ends in .oxt. It's no less a mystery to me either, and I'd sincerely like to use it.

Crashes OO.org 2.4

This plugin is causing Impress to crash when I attempt to use it with the OpenOffice.org 2.4 packages shipping with Fedora 9.

good working

Good working.
Thank you for your report.
Did your update the extension before the error? If you did, you needed to back up the ShellCommands module. You don't need to make a back up of the menu settings when updating the extension.
If you didn't, this might be a problem. Could you check the ExecuteComand_WXPDWYEZUB is there in the ShellCommands module inside. Choose Tools - Macros - Organize Macros - OpenOffice.org ... entry and then expand My Macros and mytools_BookmarksMenu, and select "ShellCommands" module. Check is it in the list. oto kiralama kiralık oto araba kiralama minibüs kiralama araç kiralama kiralık araba kiralık araç rent a car

No icon continued ...

I've fixed the problem. There were missing components so I reinstalled the open office. The extension is working fine. I love it!!!

No icon!!!

I can't find any icon or shortcut on the menu bar to sun minimizer. I am sure that I have installed the plug-in correctly but still I can't find it on the commands list. Can anyone advise me on this!

Thank you very much

Minimizer for Writer

Great tool! Woulld be even better if we could use this tool to reduce Writer documents:
- remove cropped area's of images
- reduce resolution for images that are scaled down
- remove external OLE linkage
- remove external Image linkage
This could make large Writer files much better workable.

If Sun is not providing a Writer version, can someone point me to the source code (extension was released under GPL but I can't find the source).

Doesn't do anything

I could have sworn I'd used this extension in the past but it doesn't seem to be working now.

When I click on the Minimize Presentation button I get a popup dialog that says:

    Steps

  1. Introduction
  2. Slides
  3. Graphics
  4. OLE Objects
  5. Summary

Clicking on any of the items in the list doesn't do anything. I'm not sure what to do from here.

great tool, long missed

a really good tool for professional presenters .. i compressed some presentations from ca. 100:1 (containing a lot of pics)! especially for bigger presentations it saves a lot of time, not to check and fit every page manually :)

p.s. it works great for me on current version (do not use older ones ;) for winxp and suse linux

Linux amd64

Does anyone know how to get it to work on Ubuntu 7.10 amd64? I would love to use this as I do a lot of presentations with ooimpress at the school where I teach.

Didn't work

Maybe I've missed the obvious, but the Minimize toolbar was greyed out and so I couldn't minimize the PPT. I tried this with two different PowerPoint Presentations, PPT files, and with neither could I use this extension.

I am running OOo on Win XP. Would love it to work...

Cheers.

20 : 1

I just compressed 60 MB Powerpoint down to 3 MB - that's cool.
