And the community fork LibreOffice is still building (it takes many hours to compile, even on modern hardware). So I needed something in the interim.<br /> <br /> My first try was to save the whole document as PDF, and use pdftk to split it.<br /> <br /> pdftk 01_About.pdf burst<br /> <br /> Did the split, creating 35 nice one-page PDF's so fast I had to check that they existed.<br /> Then copy them over to the next workstation, only to find that the software there doesn't accept PDF's. PDFTK: Success; receiving software: FAIL!<br /> <br /> Take II. GhostScript. After a couple of tries due to my own typing errors, this worked:<br /> <br /> gs -sDEVICE=jpeg -r100x100 -sOutputFile=01/slides/slide%02d.jpg 01_About.pdf<br /> <br /> Bingo! 35 JPEG files of about the right size.
