Hi,
I just came across this (very long) thread started by Brian's post,
I apologise to everybody. I should know better by now than to mention
anything to do with document format on this list.
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.
This means that .pdf versions of powerpoint slides in the future should be
available at the tools servers a little while (less than an hour) after
upload.
Superb. We don't deserve you, Henrik. Thankyou.
Brian
You'll find them linked in to the WG agenda pages, see for instance this page
http://tools.ietf.org/wg/abfab/agenda
where the abfab-3.pdf and abfab-4.pdf were originally submitted as .pptx
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.
Best regards,
Henrik

Please can everybody who doesn't upload PDF to the meeting materials page
at least take care to upload PPT instead of PPTX?
Not everybody has paid the ransom necessary to open PPTX files.
