| How to convert multi-page Inkscape (SVG/SVGZ) document into a presentation. | |
| Inkscape 1.4+ supports multi-page documents which enables us to use its advanced drawing features for making elaborate presentations. Normally one would save SVGZ for further editing, and PDF for full-screen presentations. However, Inkscape currently cannot directly export ODP/PPTX. So when e.g. your colleagues ask for a "real presentation" format, LibreOffice comes to help: | |
| Inkscape - draw your presentation almost as usual, but keeping in mind: | |
| pages size shall be 1920x1080 px (otherwise you will have to change page size in loimpress later) | |
| classical fonts are recommended (Verdana, Times etc.) | |
| rasterize all clipped images, or their clip masks will not be kept (select each, alt+B) | |
| save PDF (e.g. version 1.5) | |
| LODraw: | |
| open this PDF in libreoffice, will open a new LODraw document, | |
| select first page on the pages list, | |
| copy them into clipboard (ctrl+A, ctrl+C) | |
| LOImpress: | |
| start a new presentation, right-mouse-button click on the slide in slide list and change its size to 20" x 11.25" | |
| paste all pages into the document (ctrl+V), perhaps remove the first empty slide if present, | |
| LOImpress will ask "Do you want to scale...?", click No as the page is already scaled, | |
| save as ordinary ODP or PPTX presentation, | |
| check the document in e.g. MS Office Online if it is to be shared. |
