Hi,

I just came across this (very long) thread started by Brian's post, and since
(as Robinson Tryon mentioned in a post already) libreoffice can convert
both .ppt and .pptx to .pdf, I've now set up the tools servers to convert
any .ppt and .pptx to .pdf as soon as they see them.

Great!

I've set the converter ('unoconv', which uses libreoffice) up to convert to
PDF/A, but the converter doesn't always fully succeed in producing valid PDF/A
(also mentioned by Robinson in one of his posts) -- the result still works 
fine
in the viewer I've tested, though.

I filed a bug with LibreOffice about the single file that didn't
export as valid PDF/A, and I'm hopeful the underlying problem will be
fixed soon. If you're seeing other files that don't validate as PDF/A,
or that don't export cleanly as PDF at all, feel free to send me
links/notes on the problems. I'd like to see the PDF export be as
smooth and correct as possible.


Thanks,
-- Robinson
