[Issue] Embed sound file in a presentation in Impress
[Issue] Embed sound file in a presentation in Impress
I am creating presentations with Text and audio slides. I have the slide timed to change when the audio finishes. It all works great up to this point.
The next step I did was to upload the odp file to my server where it can be downloaded to another computer. This also worked.
Now I download it to another computer where the presentations runs but with out sound.
Apparently the sound file is not embedded in the presentation odp file. I have not found a way to embed the sound file, so it must be just inserting a pointer to the sound file and not doing a embed of it.
My question is: Is there a way to actually embed the sound in the odp file and not just point to the sound file?
My OS is Ubuntu 10.04 OpenOffice version is 3.2

Re: Embed sound file in a presentation in Impress
Welcome to the forum!
Sadly, you can't embed such external object, see: Save presentation with sound for other computer.
There is a report for that, the strange thing is that it hasn't any votes yet (you should add 2 votes, I've just voted), and no trace of this issue here neither! See Issue 81753 -Add option to save presentations with all links embedded.

Re: [Issue] Embed sound file in a presentation in Impress
A workaround that may work for you is to put your presentation _and_ its video and/or sound files in a dedicated directory, and send this whole directory to the remote machine

Thanks for the replies, this is what I found when reading the PDF manual. I was so hoping that there was a way to embed the sound but now I see it just can't be done.

You should subscribe and vote for it (up to 2 votes per issue). There was several threads about that here, I can't believe this bug isn't more popular.

I have found a really cool web-based alternative called impress.js [https://github.com/bartaz/impress.js/]. Here is a demo: [http://bartaz.github.io/impress.js/]. To add audio include this plugin: [https://github.com/danielsimons1/impress-audio]
