Import PowerPoint drawing as separate, editable objects?
I have some PowerPoint diagrams that I'd like to re-do in OG, but without re-doing them.
Here's one: [url]http://kan.org/download/AcquisitionConnections.ppt[/url] I do have access to a PowerPoint/Win so I can export as WMF: [url]http://kan.org/download/Slide1.WMF[/url] If I copy/paste from Illustrator, the whole slide becomes one object that I can't ungroup. If I "print" to PDF from PowerPoint/Mac and open that in OG I get Teh Huge text, and no boxes. I _can_ read the WMF into Illustrator and then copy/paste each object, one-by-one, but that's extremely tedious and doesn't maintain my layout. I can't be the only one with this requirement, can I? |
Well, you *could* save out of Illustrator as a PDF or PDF-compatible .ai file, then directly open that file in OmniGraffle Professional.
Quite a bit can get lost in translation, however we're working on improving that aspect of Pro in the near future. |
Opening powerpoint in an editbale fashion would save lots of time. Is there any progress on this?

Any progress on this topic?
I'm looking for a solution to this topic as well. My agency used powerpoint for most of their diagramming needs before I switched them to OmniGraffle. We have a lot of good diagram styles as powerpoints and was wondering if there was a way to import these objects into OmniGraffle.

We've got a feature request open for PowerPoint import/export. Our general approach is to give priority to the most frequently-requested features/changes.
This isn't at the top of that list yet, but I'll make sure your interest gets recorded so the rest of the team knows you want this. Thanks! |
Add me to the list :)
Add me to the list of interested parties. We do way too much in PPT, and I would be incredibly happy to be able to import them into OmniGraffle instead.

Using a win7/pc open in msoffice and paste object into Visio 2010 and save as VSD. Open in OG pro.
Question: If you need to import an infographic into OG, does that mean you're using it to create presentations? Imho, OG's not a great app for that. Better to use InDesign instead. |

Add me to the list of people interested in being able to import ppt files. Would be such a relief to be able to get out of doing collaborative figures in powerpoint.
