Macromedia Flash file format (.SWF) was created to store animation for web pages. Because almost all browsers play Flash movies (the Adobe Flash Player is available as a free download for those without Flash-capable browsers), these files can be viewed by just about anyone. With OpenOffice.org, you can export your Impress slide show as a.SWF file.
ExpandAnimations is a LibreOffice/OpenOffice.org extension to expand animations before exporting to PDF. The extension adds a menu entry 'Tools>>Add-ons>>Expand animations' in Impress. The generated PDF file is in the same folder as the source document.
We are looking for contributors, knowledgeable in Basic, see issue list :)
