Outputting presentations

Android/iOS: In these versions the commands are not freely available. By clicking on the command icon, users of SoftMaker Office NX Home and NX Universal can unlock the features free of charge via their product key or otherwise via Google Play/Apple App Store (subject to a fee).

This chapter provides all the information you need on how to print, export, send and pack documents with Presentations. The chapter contains the following sections:

Printing a presentation

To print the current document, choose the command File | Print.

Exporting a presentation as a PDF file

You can also export a document to a PDF file by using the ribbon command File | group Document | Export as dropdown_arrow | PDF.
PDF files can be viewed on virtually any computer, provided that a suitable PDF viewer is installed there. All formatting and objects of the document are retained exactly as in the original file. However, slide transitions and animations are not displayed.

Sending a presentation by e-mail

Documents can also be sent by e-mail. The ribbon command File | group Document | Send is responsible for this process.

Exporting a presentation as HTML files

If you choose the ribbon command File | group Document | Export as dropdown_arrow | HTML, you can export the slides of a presentation to a series of HTML files that can be viewed with any web browser (without slide transitions and animations).

Exporting a presentation as picture files

If you choose the ribbon command File | group Document | Export as dropdown_arrow | Pictures, the slides of a presentation can be exported as picture files. One picture file is created for each slide.

Exporting a presentation as a movie file (available on Windows only)

The ribbon command File | group Document | Export as dropdown_arrow | Movie exports a presentation (more precisely: its slide show) as a movie file.

Portable slide show

In addition, you can package Presentations as a file package with all associated files so that it can also be played on other computers which do not have SoftMaker Office installed. A free Presentations viewer is included in the file package. You create such a file package with the ribbon command File | group Document | Export as dropdown_arrow | Portable slide show.

See the following pages for more detailed information on these functions.
