Apache OpenOffice Impress, a part of the Apache OpenOffice office suite and developed by Sun Microsystems, is an open source presentation program compatible with and similar to Microsoft PowerPoint.[4][5] In addition to being able to create PDF files from presentations, it is also able to export presentations to SWF files allowing them to be played on any computer with a Flash player installed. It is able to view, edit and save files in several file formats, including the .ppt format, which is used by Microsoft PowerPoint.[6]
OpenOffice Impress users can install the Open Clip Art Library, which adds a large gallery of images for general presentation and drawing projects. Linux distributions Debian, Gentoo, Mandriva and Ubuntu have provided the ready-to-use openclipart package for download and install from their online software repositories.
Available under the ApacheV2 license, Impress is open source software.
