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:
To print the current document, use the command File | Print. |
▪Exporting a presentation as a PDF file
You can also export a document to a PDF file by using the command File | Export as | 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 (not included in SoftMaker FreeOffice)
Documents can also be sent by e-mail. The command File | Send is responsible for this process. |
▪Exporting a presentation as HTML files (not included in SoftMaker FreeOffice)
If you choose the command File | Export as | 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 command File | Export as | 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, not included in SoftMaker FreeOffice)
The command File | Export as | Movie exports a presentation (more precisely: its slide show) as a movie file. |
▪Portable slide show (not included in SoftMaker FreeOffice)
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 command File | Export as | Portable slide show. |
