I think it would be nice to have the pdf2oo for Windows. Please, developt it.

What system are you using? It's primarily intended to run on Linux, although any system that has the required software utilities installed plus the "bash" shell interpreter should be able to run it. The required software is usually already included in Linux as standard. There is a little more info at http://pdf2oo.sourceforge.net/ but not much. There's only one file inside the package that you need, which is the pdf2oo shell script itself (yes, it's nothing more than a shell script - which is why it shouldn't be too difficult to rewrite as a macro in OOo). It calls other utilities to do the graphic conversion and final zipping up of the OOo Impress document (each page of the PDF file is a separate slide in an Impress presentation. Some of these are already used by OOo if they exist. In case anyone isn't familiar with unpacking these files on Linux, here's the command line method. Run the following in a command shell: tar zxvf pdf2oo-20060811.tar.gz pdf2oo This will extract the script, which should be executable. If you prefer, these packages can also be unpacked using GUI tools in most Linux filesystem browsers by double clicking on the file's icon. I run Fedora Core 3 Linux and had no trouble with the required software utilities that pdf2oo needs. They were all there. Once you have the script somewhere (/usr/local/bin is suggested), it is easiest to run it in command line mode as follows: pdf2oo -batch This will display the command line usage options. usage: pdf2oo [-batch|-interactive] [-color|-gray] [-r resolution] [-transparent|-opaque] input_file [output_file] Resolution is in dpi. Defaults are 150 dpi, grayscale, not transparent, interactive. I tried it on a junk pdf file as follows: pdf2oo -batch junk.pdf This produced a greyscale odp file at low resolution as expected. I tried something a little harder, which also worked fine, but took significantly longer to run and to load into OOo (but not unexpected): pdf2oo -batch -color -r 600 -transparent junk.pdf Here's the README file from inside the package: This is a very simple program, just run it. It is better enjoied when right-clicking on a pdf in a file manager, choosing "open with..." -> oopdf. Copy oopdf in /usr/local/bin so that every user in your system can use it. You need the following commands to run pdf200: text mode: COMMAND | SUSE PACKAGE | DEBIAN PACKAGE ---------+--------------+--------------- pdfinfo | xpdf-config | xpdf-utils pdftoppm | xpdf | xpdf-reader convert | ImageMagick | imagemagick zip | zip | zip graphical mode: Command | SUSE PACKAGE | DEBIAN PACKAGE --------------+--------------+--------------- kdialog | kdebase3 | kdebase-bin kmdr-executor | kdewebdev3 | kommander dcop | kdelibs3 | kdelibs-bin Bye, have fun.
