Bug ID: 103621
Summary: FILEOPEN Be able to view and present pdf
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Impress
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
I think this would be a more useful feature than people might think, however I
do not know about how complicated it is to implement.
If Impress could display and show pdf presentations, that means I could use
Impress to show all presentations created in either PowerPoint, Impress,
Keynote, Latex Beamer or whichever other geeky and weird solution people might
use. They pretty much all have one thing in common - pdf export is possible.
Further, if I have a presentation in PDF form, I would be able to make use of
your quite useful Impress Remote application on the phone.
Further, even though you may use other pdf viewer applications to display
presentations, you would then allow a presentation computer to only need to use
one application for all presentations from various presenters in a larger
"conference" or similar. That would mean there is only one application to
learn, the "second screen" would look the same for everyone...
Another topic is that for example in Latex Beamer it is possible to create
animations, which does not work in all PDF viewers. If you would make sure all
these seldomly used but useful for presentation features of PDF works in
Impress, that would further strengthen the usefulness of Impress as the go to
application to use for the actual presentation.
I suppose there is a good chance this has already been discussed before and
rejected, but since I did not find any open bug reports on the subject I
decided to raise the issue (again).
