Key Features
Optimization of presentations
· File size reduction by up to 96%.
· PPTminimizer™ never changes your original presentation. Instead it creates a new file
that contains your new, smaller presentation.
· No remarkable loss of quality in the new files.
· NEW –There is also the possibility of adding and removing presentations from the task list
· NEW – “Search function”, which allows the user to search more effectively for PowerPoint type files. The search feature is similar to that of “Windows Search” in that it can search all drives including servers for certain file types. Unlike when running “Windows search” PPTminimizer does not slow down the computer. The user can continue to use other programs and applications freely, while the search is taking place. It is also possible for the user to set PPTminimizer to specifically search between certain dates and file sizes. For example one can search for all PowerPoint files created within the last month which are under 34MB. Once the search has been completed the user can organise the search results by either date, type or file size before selecting them.
A user friendly tool
· Standard Windows user interface.
· PPTminimizer lets you minimize several presentations in a single operation.
· You can use all classical Windows hotkeys to select your files and the Drag&Drop function if PPTminimizer is already started
· The compression rate is freely selectabel: PPTminimizer offers 4 compression levels (low, standard, strong and customized) so that you can always fit the compression and the pictures quality to your needs.
· Optional setting of the file name and of the minimized PowerPoint® file.
· Precise display of original size, generated file size and percentage of reduction after the optimization
· NEW - Languages: PPTminimizer includes 5 languages: English, Spanish, French, German and Italian. You can change the language settings at all times without the need for a restart.
Sending/Receiving files
Simplified sending of files
· Due to the integrated Email feature, you can send the optimized presentations directly with just one click.
· PPTminimizer is compatible with Outlook but also with most e-mail programs that are compliant with the MAPI interface.
· Relieve your e-mail account, hard disk space, networks and bandwidth.
· Save time: you don’t need to zip / pack your presentations in order to send them.
· Increase your security: even after deleting certain data out of a PowerPoint presentation the information is still stored in the file but not visible in the presentation. People who can use basic programming software are able to see those hidden informations (e.g. price offers to other customers, names or contact data from customers, etc.). PPTminimizer makes all this needless hidden informations inaccessible and thus impossible for unauthorized persons to abuse them.
· NEW - The user can now configure the settings in Outlook to automatically optimize PowerPoint files before sending them by email.
Easier Files reception and edition
· The optimized presentations use less memory, so they get displayed faster.
· PPTminimizer doesn’t change the format of the optimized files, so you can edit/ modify the presentation easily once received.
· No need to unzip/ unpack the files before opening them.
