I am using the PresentationSWF to present some kind of PowerPoint
presentation (in SWF) to my students.

The problem is: Is there any way to easily convert from PP to SWF in a way
PresentationSWF accept it!?



Thank you,



Leonardo Opitz

Leonardo,

We're using the Powerpoint to SWF created by
DreamingSoft (www.dreamingsoft.com). The conversion is
perfect and you can use loadMovie to load each slide
into your application. Check it out.

Leonardo,

Forgot to mention the best feature: the conversion
takes place in the server. Therefore, you can build an
app offering built-in real-time conversion.

Only problem is that it is bitmap based rather than vector. Basically,
it's jpeg conversion with a swf wrapper. Dreamingsoft works but it's in
a different league than the vector conversions from Accordent or Breeze.

PowerConverter and Articulate Presenter do a great job converting, and
they maintain the vector format so the size is smaller. These products
are a little more expensive than others, and they're VERY expensive if
you want server-based conversion. They are the best I've seen so far
(possibly better than Breeze?)

Yes, vector-based converted SWFs are great. But most
products rely on client-side conversion made with the
assistance of the user, mostly using the Powerpoint
interface, such as the way Breeze does. There are a
few good products and many not-so-good ones.

The thing about DreamingSoft is that it's server-based
and conversions can take place in a transparent way,
built in the application. And it's inexpensive: US$
499. There's a free demo if someone feels like having
a go.

We've used the DreamingSoft one here, and while it's conversions are
accurate, it still requires Powerpoint on the server-side. Also, the
size of each slide is usually >70kb, whereas a vector conversion is
typically between 5-20k. The price is right though...

These software are quite good, but does anybody know if there is a linux =
api
that can convert ppt to swf ?
Except Open Office that do the job but really bad (huge swf which can =
crash
computers with small ram)

Thanks,
