PDF magic
17 Dec 2005I’ve fallen in love with PDF all over again. Well… not quite. But it’s pretty cool.
| I think it was Steve I was speaking to a few days back, and he alluded to Acrobat’s slide transition capabilities, of which I knew nothing. Until I installed OpenOffice.org 2.0 on a machine I’m using for playback tomorrow and discovered that I couldn’t get it to fullscreen on a secondary monitor (and for various reasons I’m not willing to make my playback screen the primary monitor : | ). So I figured that maybe Acrobat would. |
Pull up the PDF export dialogue… oh, an option to save transitions, cool (I didn’t use it, but it’s nice to know it’s there). More importantly, there’s now a lossless compression option in OpenOffice’s export! Off to Acrobat Reader to open it up, and… yes. All still there, great quality, and it will fullscreen on whatever display you have the window on. Beautiful.
