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to reducing the file size, the Sun Presentation Minimizer can remove speaker notes and hidden slides so that you do not publish confidential information by mistake.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.

Compatible with: OpenOffice.org 2.3 | StarOffice 8 Update 8

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.

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.

20 : 1

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