Export to powerpoint fails

Hi, I try to export my presentation to powerpoint but it fails.After it starts exporting it stops and says, an unnokwn error occured.
I think the bug is in my custom made template, because other Mac templates give no problems. Point is that I can't discover what part of the template is responsible for the problem!
I have the latest keynote version and leopard updates....

I found the solution myself. I deleted all animations including the animated appearence of the titles in the slides. After this the export succeeded.
The fact that nowhere in the manual you can find what the meaning is of the tree blue dots in the right uppercorner of the slide is very annoying. Also that you are depend on a forum to solve problems. This is non support in my opinion

Export to powerpoint not working for certain views

Hi All,
I am in the process of implementation of STVN 2.1 Pre EHP3 version of Nakisa OrgChart for one of my clients.
During testing, it is observed that export to powerpoint object is not working for the following views.
1. Condensed Org. Chart
2. Compressed OrgChart -Only works when we expand at least one position
3. Horizontal OrgChart - Condensed children-Only works when we expand at least one position
In all the other views the export to Powerpoint object are working fine.
Export of powerpoint image is working in all the scenarios. We are facing issue only with powerpoint object.
I have implemented Export Pack 3.0 for OrgChart.

Hi Luke,
Thanks for the response.
Yes...I have installed SP1.0. I have also applied Export Pack 3.0.
The following features are working fine.
1) Export to PDF
2) Export to JPEG
3) Export to Powerpoint Image.
Export to Powerpoint Object is also working fine if the style is 'Vertical'. The issue is only in case of 'Condensed', 'Compressed' and 'Horizontal OrgChart - Condensed children' sytles. Here again, if we expand at least one position, the export is working.
The error message that is flashed for the user is the usual one....pasted below.

Exports to PowerPoint not editable

My exports from Keynote to PowerPoint will play, but they crash whenever I try to edit them. Any suggestions?
I am also losing my builds of bullet points on the slides. They all appear at once. I have exported builds before without problem, so I am puzzled by this new quirk.

Error when changing the color of the dashboard and exporting to PowerPoint

Dear All,
I have been facing an issue with exporting my dashboard to PowerPoint.
I did a first version of the dashboard, exported to PowerPoint and sent to a client. All worked fine and the client could open and customize the dashboard. After that, I was asked to change the color of all lines and backgrounds of the dashboard, so that it would fit the product colors we are working with.
After this color change, the client cannot open the PowerPoint with the dashboard anymore because an error message appears saying that "Microsoft PowerPoint has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
Some more details about the error are: AppName: powerpnt.exe; AppVer: 10.0.6842.0; ModName: ntdll.dll; ModVer: 5.1.2600.2180; Offset: 00010f29.
Any thoughts about what might be happening?
I'm working with Office 2007 and Xcelsius 2008 but I'm saving the ppt in the previous version because the client is working with Office 2003.
Thanks in advance,
Best Regards,
Vanessa

If you have the clip in your viewer window
to change the speed it is in themotion tab.
I also use the right click alot and run in to this problem.
You could just pull the clip to the end of your timeline,
adjust the speed,
then place the clip back where you want it.
But that is not an efficent work flow

Creation of the export data source failed

trying to activate ods but getting this message that the creation of the export data source failed.
and it also gives message that RFC Connection to source system is damaged===> no metadata upload
Please can someone help me with this.
Thanks in advance.
Michelle

Hi,
Check ur source system connection. by going to RSA1-> Source System-> right click and then select check.
U will get the info about the source system Connection. IF RFC has failed then better be in touch with ur basis.
Or try restoring ur source system connection by
Source system-> Restore.
Its sets all the default conenctions b/n ur systems.
Once again check the connection now. if it says ok.. then try do the export data source and then assign the data source to info source and then maintain the Update rules..
Hope this helps-

Export to PDF fails for some reports, but report viewer works

Hi all
Our application produces several different reports.
- Report A can successfully be viewed in the ASP.NET report viewer control and can be exported to PDF
- Reports B and C can successfully be viewed in the ASP.NET report viewer (all pages), but export to PDF fails with a very unclear error message. The stack trace is attached below.
Two days ago, reports B and C have fully worked, and I'm sure by 100% that the report templates haven't been modified since then.
Can anyone explain what is going wrong? Is there some internal logging inside Crystal Reports that can be investigated to find out about the reasons of the error?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Kuno
PS.: The Crystal Libraries under investigation are quite old. In fact, it is a very old application that still runs under .NET 1.0.

Hello Kuno,
please try to find out more details.
You say it is data dependent. Could you be a bit more specific. What data work or do not work ?
As a good test pls see if our samples reports work. They come with a default installation. If you do not have them any more - get them from [here|https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100005852352008E/cr_xi_xtreme_rep_smpl_en.zip].
Can you display and export them ? Do you get the same error ?
Thanks in advance

Does latest Keynote export to Powerpoint? Does it do it well?

I am running the previous version, and exporting from it to Powerpoint is dicey. Does Keynote 08 do it any better, i.e., more accurately?
Thanks
Sean

No, as far as I've seen, exports to PowerPoint still requires a good deal of work if you have complex presentation. While it may improve, I don't think Keynote's export will ever be anywhere near as good as one of the PowerPoint clones (like in Neo Office) or PowerPoint itself.

Batch Export to Powerpoint?

Hello,
I'm in a bind, I have to take about 500 .pdf files and export them into Powerpoint.
I know how to 'Export File To: Powerpoint Presentation' but I want to create a Batch command to export all of my PDF files to Powerpoint.
But this option isn't under the Action Wizard.... All other 'Export To' options seem to be there but I can't find Export To Powerpoint.
Thanks for the help, I really don't want to manually export 500 files. If you have any suggestions, even Automator scripts etc. I'm at a loss.

Add a Save command, and then edit it, and you'll see it there. It looks like this:

Trouble exporting to Powerpoint

I have a presentation that I'm trying to export to powerpoint. I keep getting an error message about 2/3rds of the way throught the process and it won't go any further. Are there certain transitions or something that would stop this?

The problem with Keynote 2 was with bullets. If they were formatted in a particular way that Keynote couldn't handle, they wouldn't export.
One way to fix this is to remove the bulleted master slides from the presentation. This forces you to select a non-bulleted master which hopefully won't have the problem. There's another solution where you can just change the setting within Keynote, but I don't have my Mac in front of me to be able to say what specific steps to take. It involved going into the Text block bullet settings and making a choice where it's currently blank.

Printing and Exporting to Powerpoint

Hello,
I'm a relatively new user of Xcelsius and hoping someone could guide me through the problems I have come across.
First - Printing: I've exported the Dashboard I created using Adobe and now looking to print it. For some reason, when I print from the Adobe file the page always comes out blank. The only way for me to print the Dashboard is to do so from Xcelsius in the preview mode. How can I, and those receiving the Dashboard, print from the Adobe file?
Second - Exporting to Powerpoint: I have problems exporting to Powerpoint. I can export to Adobe and Word without issue; however, when I go to export to Powerpoint, all that appears is a blank grey canvas when Powerpoint initially opens. How can I export to Powerpoint so that it works on each try?
Third - Creating a slide show of Dashboards: I'm looking to create multiple Dashboards and have them displayed in one presentation to run in one slide show. I've tried to copy and paste different Dashboards into a presentation but it won't allow me to do so. Is there a way that I could have multiple Dashboards in one presentation and run continuously as a slide show?

Hi Jennifer,
you need to start slideshow to see the swf in the powerpoint.
If it still does not work, you can export your dashboard to swf and insert the swf manually into powerpoint slide. You can see this thread
Re: Export to PowerPoint
or this link
http://www.mix-fx.com/tutorials/importpowerpoint.html
for details on how to do it. The same way, you can export several swf files and insert each one in a separate powerpoint slide in your presentation.

Problem exporting to powerpoint - blank or permanently 'initializing'

Hi all,
I am having a nightmare trying to export my dashboard to powerpoint. It works ok in word. I can open the swf in explorer fine. But it does not work in PDF.
Everytime I try to export to powerpoint, it comes up with the message u2018server busyu2019 and gives me the option of u2018switching tou2019 or u2018retryu2019. When I click on u2018switching tou2019 a couple of times, it finishes. However, I end up with a blank presentation or a white presentation with a permanent u2018initializingu2019 in the middle that doesnu2019t work in slide show mode.
When I try and open the same file I have created in office 2003, it works fine (apart from some slight moving of text which I can deal with u2013 for now).
I am using Xcelsius engage with SP3.2 with office 2007, flash 10.1 and my computer is on XP.
Please, please help!!

Hi there,
I have posted a suggestion via this link [Server Busy issue with Xcelsius|Re: Server Busy; or you can refer to my following steps:
1. Open the Windows Task Manager.
2. Go to tab Applications and look for task Microsoft Excel - Compatibility Check and double click on it. This action will bring you to the small windows of Excel which alerts you about the compatibility check of the Excel file.
3. Click button Continue to process the import.
4. Go back to Xcelsius and click Retry button to import the Excel sheet.
Well, the issue is solved.
Hopefully this tips will be useful for you.
Cheers,
Danny Pham

IMP-00010: not a valid export file, header failed verification

Hi everyone,
I am new in oracle's world, and I've been working with an export from a sun platform, and I try to import to a windows platform. I've been receiving this message error
IMP-00010: not a valid export file, header failed verification
Please, help me I have to finish with that today..
Thanks and have a nice New Year

thanks for your answer.
sorry, but I don't have all exact information, because that export is comming from a client, and I don't know all information. I only know that the platform is sun.
I received the file via an usb memory, directly from the source.
I've been read that if you make an export in sun platform and it isn't as binary when you transfer it to a windows platform, it will be corrupt.
Could you confirm me that?

Keynote export to Quicktime fails with any animation

I'm making recordings of Keynote slideshows, and I keep running into the same problem: any time I include an animation, of any sort, the export to Quicktime fails. Any advice?
Specifically, regardless of the format (whether it's an animated GIF, a Quicktime movie, or ???), I have the animation set to begin immediately, on transition. I can see it animating while I'm talking. When I export it to Quicktime, my voice continues, but Keynote remains stuck on the first frame. Sometimes it does animate a little bit, toward the end of the time that I'm on the slide, but regardless, voice and video sync are way, way off for the rest of the movie.
Has anyone else encountered this and fixed it? I've seen one person be advised to export using fixed timing, but that's not an option for me: the amount of time I spend on the different slides varies quite a bit.

Yeah, it's pretty simple- with your keynote slideshow open, just open quicktime player, go to "file" then "new screen recording". A little box will open with a record button. Press record, and then play your slideshow in keynote from the beginning. You will have to wait and let it record in real time. After it is done, it will prompt you to save it as a quicktime movie. Then you just have to open iMovie, click "import" and then select the quicktime movie you just made. Then click the musical note button on the lower right, select the mp3 of the VO track or music that you want to use, and drag that onto the timeline. You should right-click and select "detach audio" so you can move it around and get the timing you need. Then just "finalize project" and you're done! Easy-peezie.
And I have no idea about future keynote updates...overall it's a nice program but the exporting problems definitely need to be addressed.

PDF export from Pages fails "Print - error while printing"

Every month I have been generating PDF versions of my invoices by using the 'export' function of Pages. This has always worked fine without any problems.
Today (end of Feb 08), the pdf export function always fails with 'Print - error while printing". A pdf file is saved to disc but it is corrupted and unreadable. I can still export as rtfd.
I don't see anything about this in the logs, but I do notice that there was a Pages software update to 3.0.2 earlier this month.
Anybody know how to fix this?

Hello
Before re-installing, it may be useful to
a - repair permissions with Disk Utility
b - trash the preferences file: <bootVolume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Preferences:com.apple.iWork.Pages.plis t
if it's not sufficient, try to print from an other user account.
If it works this way, you will know that the application's files are not the wrongdoers as every account calls the same application file.
