Animations are not supported or exported. Based on the description provided prior to trying the program, I expected animations and transitions to be supported. I'm sorry to say I was very dissappointed. I'm not opposed to rolling up my sleeves and creating multiple templates in multiple programs when neccessary, but I was excited to find this and I just gave the trial a go. Everyone needs to know Powerpoint, I never argued against that, but there are alternatives to knowing it in a master sense, hence Recosoft. I think you are misinterpreting what I am saying. If you are more comfortable with powerpoint more power to you, I just would make the argument of more time being spent on a presentation because of the lack of tools at your disposal would actually cost you more time, and make you charge a client more, who may not return after the higher pricing. The file produced by Recosoft is built as if it was natively constructed in Powerpoint. It may need some tuning in powerpoint which is no issue, but building a 70 slide presentation with a limited interface, limited graphical capabilities, and a lack of customization seems counter intuitive when you use Adobe products day in and day out. Recosoft allows me to set up everything I need in a much more designer friendly way in InDesign, and with the click of a button create a perfectly editable and converted powerpoint file. PDF from InDesign exported to PowerPoint only gives you an exceptionally rough starting point. And trying to create PowerPoint presentation masters from PDF? Uggh! InDesign supports Type 1 fonts but not so Microsoft (starting with Office 2013 on Windows). Except for some raster images, Microsoft is RGB only ( implied sRGB). InDesign supports full ICC color management including CMYK and RGB of different flavours. InDesign supports 16 transparency blending modes (including multiply which is what normally should be used for drop shadows) while Microsoft only supports the equivalent of the Adobe normal blending mode (you can't even get a decent drop shadow). InDesign supports a much richer imaging model than Microsoft Office. It is totally unrealistic either through PDF to PowerPoint conversion or otherwise! Why? On the other hand, I don't expect to be able to convert these presentations to PowerPoint. It is the only way I can deal with placement of graphic objects, advanced graphic attributes, advanced typographical features, reliable layout (that doesn't change based on the phase of the moon and the resolution of the currently selected printer), and full access to paragraph and text styles. Actually, I use InDesign for 100% of my presentations.
