Searching a GPL tool to convert PPT to Flash

[Francesco Moi]

Hi.

There's a lot of commercial tools to convert PPT to Flash
(Dreamingsoft, iMediaCONVERT, ...)

Do you know any GPL-one? I've only found the OpenOffice feature to
export a
PPT file to SWF, but it doesn't convert animations.

Thank you very much.

What's GPL?

Anyway, if you're looking for a free PPT-to-Flash add-in that also converts
animations, I doubt you'll find one. I know there's a tremendous amount of
work that has to go into those add-ins in order for the animations to show
up properly in Flash. That kind of effort and time investment doesn't
generally come free or cheap.

Ahhhh. Thanks.

So that would be something akin to freeware?

With source code. And limits on how it's used commercially.

all I know about it.
