Do you have one or two C++ extension at hand (except former

The PDF Import extension:

This deserves some discussion: these two extensions are very
popular so it would be better to find a solution to this before
users ask for support in scores.
If I understand correctly, we have now have two problems with
these extensions: 1) License: both extensions have GPL (or similar)
dependencies, so they cannot be formally released by this Apache
project. 2) Compatibility: the STLport change makes the latest
versions incompatible with OpenOffice 4.0.
Can the problem be solved by simply rebuilding the two extensions
in the new framework? If it isn't too hard, it's better to upload
an "unofficial" version (meaning: released by individual
developers, but not officially by the project) to the Extensions
site than dealing with feature limitations and support requests.
For the time being, I updated
http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Extensions/Extensions_and_Apache_OpenOffice_4.0
with this information.

For me, the absence of the Presenter Console would be a major barrier
to canverting my presentation laptops to AOO 4.0. I hope a way, even
if not an official release, can be found to make this available more
or less concurrently with the AOO 4.0 release.
If Presentation Minimizer is being rewritten, some thought should be
given towards adapting the code to provide a similar optimisation and
reduction process for Writer documents; users often insert
illustrations of considerably too higgh a resolution and size into
Writer. A minimise process for this application wuld be useful.
The Presenter Screen and the Presentation Minimizer have been integrated
into OpenOffice as 'native' functions - Thanks to Ariel.
Thus, the corresponding functionality is available in AOO 4.0.
Best regards, Oliver.
