How to increase the quality or resolution of converted PDF or PowerPoint files
Is there a way I can improve the quality of converted PDF, Word or
PowerPoint files which are uploaded to OpenMeetings for the Whiteboard.
That is increase the resolution of the conversion process?
I believe Word PDF and PowerPoint files are converted to *.swf files.
Currently the quality of any images within these documents is so poor
that we cannot clearly read the text within images contained in the
uploaded PDF, Word or PowerPoint files.
Using: Debian Linux server,
openmeetings-2.0.0.r1328537-20-04-2012_2319.tar.gz (Build #43)
Thanks,
George Kirkham

Hi George,
It sounds like you've worked on the command-line under linux after
having done a SVN checkout.
If this is the case, then issuing a diff patch is straightforward:
simply issue the following command at the root of your source directory:
svn diff > MyPatch.diff
Then MyPatch.diff will contain the differences between the modified
files (your local copy) and the ones from the reference repository.

Hi,
If people experiment with the pdf2swf zoom parameter, please let me know
what settings you find are the best?
I have spent much time tonight testing resolutions, 100, 120, 150, 180,
220, 300. My preference is for 150, it provides good quality for images
that are within documents, while not causing too much extra load to the
loading of the document to the Whiteboard.
Thanks,
George Kirkham

Hi,
People have complained about the quality of the video (240x180 in
particular), saying that the video quality used to be much better (pre
version 1.9).
Is there a way to increase the quality? In red5/openmeetings/config.xml
there is camQualityNormal (85) and camQualityBest (95), but I don't know
to use these or if there are other settings that can be used. There
seems to be no way in the User interface to change from Normal to Best
Quality? Would it be safe to change these two values to 95 and 100 ?
How would this affect how OpenMeetings works?
Thanks,
George Kirkham

Hi,
I have downloaded and installed "Build #68", however the "Combine device
settings and audio/video test in single UI" does not seem to be part of
this build ?
At this time only the "Choose devices" dialog box is showing. To be
honest, I do not mind this configuration, if it is to be the new way.
How is OpenMeeting behaving for you?
The video Window has orange top and bottom boarders.

I very much like the new "Choose device" window, but does anyone have
the issue that if you have the "Do not ask again" check box option
enabled, then window stays up in the top of the screen and does not
slide down, thus the window is barely visible? Of course this is
confusing for any users.
I am able to select the bottom of the "Choose device" window and drag it
down so I can access it.
The "Do not ask again" check box seems to be altering the behaviour of
the "Choose device" window.

Regarding the proposal to combine the device settings and the audio video

I've committed a change that should realize that (see:

The change does also include to see the selected resolution in the recorded

Thibault,
Sadly I did not get far following the instructions at
http://incubator.apache.org/openmeetings/BuildInstructions.html
Step1 - Get required Software
To develop OpenMeetings you need at least:
Eclipse in a up to date copy and Sun JDK6 (used Deiban packages for Sun JDK and Eclipse)
Apache ANT (minimum) 1.8.3 (installed)
Subclipse 1.8 (Subversion 1.7 required!) http://subclipse.tigris.org/ (Subclipse would not install into Eclipse due to issues with dependices, which I was not able to successful install either)
SVN Command line client (Subversion 1.7 required!) http://subversion.apache.org/packages.html
Spring IDE for Eclipse (installable via Help > Eclipse Marketplace) (no such menu option existed, or could I find a market place)
MySQL (or Postgres, or other Databases supported by Hibernate) are optionally but handy to have them
Adding a new software site
There are several different ways to add a software site to the list of sites that are used when browsing available software and checking for updates. You must know the Web Site location (URL) of the site that you want to add. To add the site, use one of the following procedures:
* Add a new site using the Install/Update > Available Software Sites preference page.
1. Click the Add... button.
2. Type a name into the Name text box.
3. If the software site is located on the web, type the Web Site location (URL) of the site into the Location text box. You may also paste or drag and drop a URL from a web browser into this text box.
4. If the software site is in your local file system (including a CD), click Local... to specify the directory location of the site.
5. If the software site is in your local file system but is packaged as a jar or zip file, click Archive... to specify the name of the file.
* Drag and drop the site URL from a browser into one of the following locations:
1. The Work With combo box or the software list on the first page of the Install New Software wizard.
2. The Available Software Sites preference page.
3. The Location text field in the Add Site... dialog.
https://hudson.eclipse.org/hudson/job/gef-nightly-tycho/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/update-site/
http://download.eclipse.org/mylyn/releases/latest
http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.8.x
Classic way, Eclipse IDE, click "Help" -> "Install New Software...". Type "http://springide.org/updatesite" to access the Spring IDE update site.

It's been a long time since I've used eclipse on linux.
However, I would recommend that you download eclipse instead of using the one provided by your OS, the same goes with the java jdk (use the one from sun), and ant (download it from apache). Everything can be put in /opt
Then you can install the subclipse plugin from within eclipse gui, to get the svn features.

RE: Editing OpenMeetings with Eclipse
Posted by George Kirkham <gk...@co2crc.com.au>.
Hi Max,
I was not able to install “Subversion Revision Graph”, “Subclipse Integration for Mylyn 3.x (Optional)”, but I did install the other items.
You said “set "java only" in Preferences->Team>SVN”, but I cannot find such a selection?
Under Window->Preference->Team there is a “Perspective:” set to “Team Synchronizing” while there is also a “Java” option, but I don’t think this is what you mean.
Under Window->Preference->Team->SVN there is a “SVN interface”, “Client:” which I have now set to “SVNKit (Pure Java) SVNKit v1.7.0 SNAPSHOT”, it was JavaLH (JNI) Not Available”.
I then ran “File”, “Import”, selected “SVN”, “Checkout Projects from SVN”, Next
Entered https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/openmeetings/trunk/singlewebapp/
Followed the prompts and selected “Finish”.
But now I get “Error (100 of 125 items), mostly because “Project ‘Openmeetings’ is missing required library: ‘build/lib/…” where … is a listing of about 100 *.jar files. However I am looking around in the Openmeetings code and searching for objects, methods, etc.
What I current want to achieve is to learn what code is required to let the Whiteboard’s zoom feature be available to meeting participants who have not been given any privileges (e.g. “Draw on Whiteboard privileges” ), and while I don’t quite know what I am doing in Eclipse, I think that for a start I want to find the code which is in “WhiteboardObject.java” line 83 “public void setZoom(Integer zoom) {“
WhiteboardManagement.java, line 289 “whiteBoardObject.setZoom((Integer) actionObject.get(2));
UpdateWhiteboardObject
Err, well I think I am somewhat off track. Eclipse is great, but I have a lot of learning in Eclipse, Java and Openmeetings before I can be of much use with the code.
Thanks,
George Kirkham

Thibault,
Sadly I did not get far following the instructions at
http://incubator.apache.org/openmeetings/BuildInstructions.html
Step1 - Get required Software
To develop OpenMeetings you need at least:
Eclipse in a up to date copy and Sun JDK6 (used Deiban packages for Sun JDK and Eclipse)
Apache ANT (minimum) 1.8.3 (installed)
Subclipse 1.8 (Subversion 1.7 required!) http://subclipse.tigris.org/ (Subclipse would not install into Eclipse due to issues with dependices, which I was not able to successful install either)
SVN Command line client (Subversion 1.7 required!) http://subversion.apache.org/packages.html
Spring IDE for Eclipse (installable via Help > Eclipse Marketplace) (no such menu option existed, or could I find a market place)
MySQL (or Postgres, or other Databases supported by Hibernate) are optionally but handy to have them
Adding a new software site
There are several different ways to add a software site to the list of sites that are used when browsing available software and checking for updates. You must know the Web Site location (URL) of the site that you want to add. To add the site, use one of the following procedures:
* Add a new site using the Install/Update > Available Software Sites preference page.
1. Click the Add... button.
2. Type a name into the Name text box.
3. If the software site is located on the web, type the Web Site location (URL) of the site into the Location text box. You may also paste or drag and drop a URL from a web browser into this text box.
4. If the software site is in your local file system (including a CD), click Local... to specify the directory location of the site.
5. If the software site is in your local file system but is packaged as a jar or zip file, click Archive... to specify the name of the file.
* Drag and drop the site URL from a browser into one of the following locations:
1. The Work With combo box or the software list on the first page of the Install New Software wizard.
2. The Available Software Sites preference page.
3. The Location text field in the Add Site... dialog.

It's been a long time since I've used eclipse on linux.
However, I would recommend that you download eclipse instead of using the one provided by your OS, the same goes with the java jdk (use the one from sun), and ant (download it from apache). Everything can be put in /opt
Then you can install the subclipse plugin from within eclipse gui, to get the svn features.

There are several different ways to add a software site to the list of sites that are used when browsing available software and checking for updates. You must know the Web Site location (URL) of the site that you want to add. To add the site, use one of the following procedures:
* Add a new site using the Install/Update > Available Software Sites preference page.
1. Click the Add... button.
2. Type a name into the Name text box.
3. If the software site is located on the web, type the Web Site location (URL) of the site into the Location text box. You may also paste or drag and drop a URL from a web browser into this text box.
4. If the software site is in your local file system (including a CD), click Local... to specify the directory location of the site.
5. If the software site is in your local file system but is packaged as a jar or zip file, click Archive... to specify the name of the file.
* Drag and drop the site URL from a browser into one of the following locations:
1. The Work With combo box or the software list on the first page of the Install New Software wizard.
2. The Available Software Sites preference page.
3. The Location text field in the Add Site... dialog.

It's been a long time since I've used eclipse on linux.
However, I would recommend that you download eclipse instead of using the one provided by your OS, the same goes with the java jdk (use the one from sun), and ant (download it from apache). Everything can be put in /opt
Then you can install the subclipse plugin from within eclipse gui, to get the svn features.

Hello George,
here is the link to the "4.2 beta" (I use it because it look better :) )
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-java-ee-developers/junom6
direct link to linux x64
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/technology/epp/downloads/release/juno/M6/eclipse-jee-juno-M6-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz
I do extract it to the opt:
cd /opt
sudo tar -xzf eclipse-jee-juno-M6-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz
run eclipse
go to Help->Install new Software
enter http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.8.x and install everything :)
then set "java only" in Preferences->Team>SVN

Apache ANT (minimum) 1.8.3 (installed)
Subclipse 1.8 (Subversion 1.7 required!) http://subclipse.tigris.org/ (Subclipse would not install into Eclipse due to issues with dependices, which I was not able to successful install either)
SVN Command line client (Subversion 1.7 required!) http://subversion.apache.org/packages.html

Re: Editing OpenMeetings with Eclipse
Posted by Maxim Solodovnik <so...@gmail.com>.
Under Ubuntu 12.04
I use:
1) ant from apt-get (1.8.2 works as expected)
2) Eclipse EE + subclipse plugin
3) command line svn (apt-get subversion)
4) oracle jdk 1.6 (downloaded as .bin)

RE: Editing OpenMeetings with Eclipse
Posted by George Kirkham <gk...@co2crc.com.au>.
Thibault,
Sadly I did not get far following the instructions at
http://incubator.apache.org/openmeetings/BuildInstructions.html
Step1 - Get required Software
To develop OpenMeetings you need at least:
Eclipse in a up to date copy and Sun JDK6 (used Deiban packages for Sun JDK and Eclipse)
Apache ANT (minimum) 1.8.3 (installed)
Subclipse 1.8 (Subversion 1.7 required!) http://subclipse.tigris.org/ (Subclipse would not install into Eclipse due to issues with dependices, which I was not able to successful install either)
SVN Command line client (Subversion 1.7 required!) http://subversion.apache.org/packages.html
Spring IDE for Eclipse (installable via Help > Eclipse Marketplace) (no such menu option existed, or could I find a market place)
MySQL (or Postgres, or other Databases supported by Hibernate) are optionally but handy to have them
Adding a new software site
There are several different ways to add a software site to the list of sites that are used when browsing available software and checking for updates. You must know the Web Site location (URL) of the site that you want to add. To add the site, use one of the following procedures:
* Add a new site using the Install/Update > Available Software Sites preference page.
1. Click the Add... button.
2. Type a name into the Name text box.
3. If the software site is located on the web, type the Web Site location (URL) of the site into the Location text box. You may also paste or drag and drop a URL from a web browser into this text box.
4. If the software site is in your local file system (including a CD), click Local... to specify the directory location of the site.
5. If the software site is in your local file system but is packaged as a jar or zip file, click Archive... to specify the name of the file.
* Drag and drop the site URL from a browser into one of the following locations:
1. The Work With combo box or the software list on the first page of the Install New Software wizard.
2. The Available Software Sites preference page.
3. The Location text field in the Add Site... dialog.
https://hudson.eclipse.org/hudson/job/gef-nightly-tycho/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/update-site/
http://download.eclipse.org/mylyn/releases/latest
http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.8.x
Classic way, Eclipse IDE, click "Help" -> "Install New Software...". Type "http://springide.org/updatesite" to access the Spring IDE update site.
Thanks,
George Kirkham

Subject: Re: Editing OpenMeetings with Eclipse
It's been a long time since I've used eclipse on linux.
However, I would recommend that you download eclipse instead of using the one provided by your OS, the same goes with the java jdk (use the one from sun), and ant (download it from apache). Everything can be put in /opt
Then you can install the subclipse plugin from within eclipse gui, to get the svn features.

RE: Editing OpenMeetings with Eclipse
Posted by George Kirkham <gk...@co2crc.com.au>.
I wish I could " you can install the subclipse plugin from within eclipse gui ", but this does not work so well, it keeps failing due to some kind of dependencies.
Maybe "download eclipse instead of using the one provided by your OS " would work better, but then how would I do this?
It looks like I cannot get Debian's Eclipse to work, so back to using Text Editors, but which openmeetings files should I edit?
Thanks,

It's been a long time since I've used eclipse on linux.
However, I would recommend that you download eclipse instead of using the one provided by your OS, the same goes with the java jdk (use the one from sun), and ant (download it from apache). Everything can be put in /opt
Then you can install the subclipse plugin from within eclipse gui, to get the svn features.

Editing OpenMeetings with Eclipse
Posted by George Kirkham <gk...@co2crc.com.au>.
I am using Debian for my OpenMeetings server,
Could someone give me a few hints on how to install Eclipse to edit
OpenMeetings.
Using synaptic package manager, if I select the package "eclipse", it
will want to also install debian's ant but to be able to build
OpenMeeting I had to download and use Apache's ant.
You are correct I am using "svn", does Eclipse integrate with svn and
can I set Eclipse to use my downloaded Apache's ant ?

RE: When a user first joins an Meeting Room, they are presented with two screens asking about Audio/Video hardware, can these be combined into one screen.
Posted by George Kirkham <gk...@co2crc.com.au>.
Sebastian,
Apologies for the confusion. Is it possible to have the two dialog
boxes you mentioned, the "1) There is the Audio / Video test" and the
"choose your audio / video device settings" dialog box changed to be one
dialog box?
You are most likely so familiar with OpenMeetings you do not see this as
a problem, but the number of first time users who come into OpenMeetings
who get confused is amazing.
If people don't like my suggestion, then don't bother about it. But
then could I ask that the "Start recording" button text be changed to
something like "Start test recording" or "Start Recording Test", as I
often get asked what does this mean. And I know the screen is well
documented, but the new users still get confused.
I think the text is "1316, recording flag, Start recording", but I
think this text is also used for other "Start recording" buttons, so if
I change this text to "Start recording test", then other buttons in
OpenMeetings will be labelled wrong ?

Hallo Georg,
I don't understand this request.
There are no identical boxes.
1) There is the Audio / Video test where you can record 5 seconds of
video and playback (this pops up even before entering the room)
2) There are the device settings to choose your audio / video device
settings
=> Both boxes have on the bottom a checkbox already "do not ask again".
=> In the roomtype restricted the (2) popup will not popup
=> In the room configuration you can disable the popup (1)
I don't think that there is something to do here.
As for the resolution: You always can re-start your audio/video by
clicking on the re-sync icon and choose different settings and restart
the publishing.

Hi,
When a user first joins an Meeting Room, they are presented with two
screens both asking about Audio/Video hardware, can these be combined
into one screen, please.
Users find it frustrating and very confusing when they first join in a
OpenMeetings Meeting Room because they are presented with two similar
but different screens (I know I have been trying to introduce several
people to OpenMeetings). I do like the option of being able to "not
show these again".
What I would suggest is that only the device selection screen appears.
For Audio a "Microphone Test" toggle button be there with a microphone
level meter for the test.
For video, 1) since the video camera drop down list detects if there is
a video camera, then why not only give the users the "video options" to
select from if they have a video camera,
2) if they select a video camera, load up a second floating "video"
window to the side which shows the video at the resolution that they
select, if they select a different resolution then change the video
window to that resolution, this way they can see the effect/size of
their video resolution selection. After all in the current system, once
they have chosen their devices they are given a video window anyway, why
not a bit earlier so that can interactively select an appropriate
resolution. Currently I see people either select a too small resolution
or a too large resolution as they have no idea how it will look.
Please let me know what you think about this suggestion and if it is
feasible.
Thanks,
George Kirkham

Re: When a user first joins an Meeting Room, they are presented with

Posted by "seba.wagner@gmail.com" <se...@gmail.com>.
Hallo Georg,
I don't understand this request.
There are no identical boxes.
1) There is the Audio / Video test where you can record 5 seconds of video
and playback (this pops up even before entering the room)
2) There are the device settings to choose your audio / video
=> Both boxes have on the bottom a checkbox already "do not ask again".
=> In the roomtype restricted the (2) popup will not popup
=> In the room configuration you can disable the popup (1)
I don't think that there is something to do here.
As for the resolution: You always can re-start your audio/video by clicking
on the re-sync icon and choose different settings and restart the
publishing.

When a user first joins an Meeting Room, they are presented with two screens asking about Audio/Video hardware, can these be combined into one screen.
Posted by George Kirkham <gk...@co2crc.com.au>.
Hi,
When a user first joins an Meeting Room, they are presented with two
screens both asking about Audio/Video hardware, can these be combined
into one screen, please.
Users find it frustrating and very confusing when they first join in a
OpenMeetings Meeting Room because they are presented with two similar
but different screens (I know I have been trying to introduce several
people to OpenMeetings). I do like the option of being able to "not
show these again".
What I would suggest is that only the device selection screen appears.
For Audio a "Microphone Test" toggle button be there with a microphone
level meter for the test.
For video, 1) since the video camera drop down list detects if there is
a video camera, then why not only give the users the "video options" to
select from if they have a video camera,
2) if they select a video camera, load up a second floating "video"
window to the side which shows the video at the resolution that they
select, if they select a different resolution then change the video
window to that resolution, this way they can see the effect/size of
their video resolution selection. After all in the current system, once
they have chosen their devices they are given a video window anyway, why
not a bit earlier so that can interactively select an appropriate
resolution. Currently I see people either select a too small resolution
or a too large resolution as they have no idea how it will look.
Please let me know what you think about this suggestion and if it is

RE: Code to increase the quality or resolution of converted PDF or PowerPoint files
Posted by George Kirkham <gk...@co2crc.com.au>.
Sebastian your request "I asked him if he is able to create a regular patch / SVN diff.
Creating a patch / SVN in eclipse: Right click on the project => Team => Create Patch => save to file
(You need Subclipse or Subversive installed)", may be a bit beyond my expertise at this stage (but certainly willing to learn, but it may take time, so I would appreciate it if someone could take up the task this time).
I actually used the linux "find" command, searching for "swftools_path" to find the areas that needed changing, taking a guess that it would be OK to change these files, and then used a text editor to make the changes, compiling them with "ant", thanks to Stephen's assistance in providing instructions on how to get ant to work.
Eclipse is not (yet) installed to my PC and I am not at this time familiar with using the application. Given time I could learn, but at this stage I would like to assist with making a few suggestions/requests for changes, that is about as far as my time can permit just now. Having worked with GUI interfaces with Visual Basic a number of years ago, I have experience with designing easy to use interfaces. I hope you don't mind, but I want to make a few requests. I am hoping people may accept my requests and implement them if they are simple to implement, and when they will take more time, then please still review their usefulness.
Thanks,

Hello George,
thank you for your contribution.
Please could you use JIRA for Apache code contributions? We only can

RE: Code to increase the quality or resolution of converted PDF or PowerPoint files
Posted by George Kirkham <gk...@co2crc.com.au>.
Alexei,
I believe I have ?
I have submitted the request via "OPENMEETINGS-247 Make document conversion quality an administrator changeable option", but it remains "unassigned" ?
While my code works for me in test, I would request that the developers review and convert to the standard that they use, and also add value bounds checking (which I do not know how to implement).
If I need to help in other ways by submitting the code in another way, please let me know how. But again I would state again, the code is only to demonstrate what I could to see the requested change to be implemented, not necessarily the final solution.
Thanks,

Re: Code to increase the quality or resolution of converted PDF or
PowerPoint files
Posted by "seba.wagner@gmail.com" <se...@gmail.com>.
Yes I think George already created a Jira Issue, however I asked him if he
is able to create a regular patch / SVN diff.
Creating a patch / SVN in eclipse: Right click on the project => Team =>
Create Patch => save to file
(You need Subclipse or Subversive installed)

Hi Georg,
I just added -j 100 to every convertion. I don't think anybody is
interested in adjusting this via configuration, the resulting SWFs are
pretty small anyway.

Code to increase the quality or resolution of converted PDF or PowerPoint files
Posted by George Kirkham <gk...@co2crc.com.au>.
Hi,
I have that the SWFTools -j (JPEG Quality) and zoom (dpi) options do a great job in converting text. Currently I have the zoom set to 300 but have not tested greatly to see if there are any issues like very large files or very slow connections caused by this.
To allow these two settings to be user adjustable by the OpenMeetings administrator, I used the below code.
Two Questions:
1) I would appreciate it if this change could be added to the OpenMeetings source.
2) Could someone add code to validate that the values when changed by the administrator, are integers between the acceptable ranges, e.g. for zoom, between 50 and 600.

Maxim,
You said “Sebastian already add converter parameter”.
Can you tell me where to set the parameter, what it is called, and in which version it was introduced? - that would be very helpful.

Hey George,
I’ll look at this before lunch.
Out of curiosity what was the issue you had with compiling?
If you are using Debian and got ant via apt-get install ant then this will fail as the version that gets installed doesn’t support the force option so you will need to download the binary from the apache ant web site:
Example quick fix:
mkdir /usr/tmp/ant
cd /usr/tmp/ant
wget http://mirror.rmg.io/apache//ant/binaries/apache-ant-1.8.3-bin.tar.gz <http://mirror.rmg.io/apache/ant/binaries/apache-ant-1.8.3-bin.tar.gz>
tar –zxvf apache-ant-1.8.3-bin.tar.gz
then cd to your svn OM directory (in this example = /usr/tmp/svn/openmeetings/trunk/singlewebapp/)
now issue
/usr/tmp/ant/apache-ant-1.8.3/bin/ant
This will use the 1.8.3 version of ant to compile the OM 2.
I’ll come back to you later with my tests.
Cheers

RE: How to increase the quality or resolution of converted PDF or PowerPoint files
Posted by George Kirkham <gk...@co2crc.com.au>.
Hi,
To explain why I would like to increase the PowerPoint slide conversion process, please review the following clips from screen shots of an actual PowerPoint presentation slide and that of the slide as it is in OpenMeetings.
And yes the images included in the slide do have small text, but that is what our need is. The closer I can get to the actual PowerPoint presentation’s quality, the better. The below images are only one example.
Below is the screen shot clip from PowerPoint;
Below is the screenshot clip from OpenMeetings;
Thanks,

Stephen,
You were correct I was using the wrong version of ant so thanks for explaining to me how I could download and use the correct version.
My build fails with the error, if you know how to get resolve the error please let me know. I expect that it will be something simple like not having any JAVA_HOME environment variable set, or the wrong version of Java ?
-retrieve-openlaszlo:
compile.laszlo.main.debug:
[java] Compiling: maindebug.lzx to maindebug.swf8.swf
[java] Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IncompatibleClassChangeError: Found class com.sun.image.codec.jpeg.JPEGImageEncoder, but interface was expected

Hey George,
I’ll look at this before lunch.
Out of curiosity what was the issue you had with compiling?
If you are using Debian and got ant via apt-get install ant then this will fail as the version that gets installed doesn’t support the force option so you will need to download the binary from the apache ant web site:
Example quick fix:
mkdir /usr/tmp/ant
cd /usr/tmp/ant
wget http://mirror.rmg.io/apache//ant/binaries/apache-ant-1.8.3-bin.tar.gz <http://mirror.rmg.io/apache/ant/binaries/apache-ant-1.8.3-bin.tar.gz>
tar –zxvf apache-ant-1.8.3-bin.tar.gz
then cd to your svn OM directory (in this example = /usr/tmp/svn/openmeetings/trunk/singlewebapp/)
now issue
/usr/tmp/ant/apache-ant-1.8.3/bin/ant
This will use the 1.8.3 version of ant to compile the OM 2.
I’ll come back to you later with my tests.
Cheers
the –j flag?

Hey George,
I’ll look at this before lunch.
Out of curiosity what was the issue you had with compiling?
If you are using Debian and got ant via apt-get install ant then this will fail as the version that gets installed doesn’t support the force option so you will need to download the binary from the apache ant web site:
Example quick fix:
mkdir /usr/tmp/ant
cd /usr/tmp/ant
wget http://mirror.rmg.io/apache//ant/binaries/apache-ant-1.8.3-bin.tar.gz <http://mirror.rmg.io/apache/ant/binaries/apache-ant-1.8.3-bin.tar.gz>
tar –zxvf apache-ant-1.8.3-bin.tar.gz
then cd to your svn OM directory (in this example = /usr/tmp/svn/openmeetings/trunk/singlewebapp/)
now issue
/usr/tmp/ant/apache-ant-1.8.3/bin/ant
This will use the 1.8.3 version of ant to compile the OM 2.
I’ll come back to you later with my tests.

Stephen, if you can so as you suggested “I'll have a crack tomo and compile with the changes to see if it makes a difference”, that would be good. It would at least prove if this was the location in the code that the change would need to be made. After that I can then work on how I could update my OpenMeeting server with the change ?

I think that's the correct location, I'll have a crack tomo and compile with the changes to see if it makes a difference, maybe you can run pdf2swf from the command line and view the swf file in the first instance to see the quality change dramatically using the j flag?

I noticed that the default is 85. This could be increased to say 95 but how to do this for OpenMeetings?
Checking the OpenMeetings log it would seem that it is using pdf2swf without any “-j” setting, I found this in the log file;
args: [/usr/local/bin/pdf2swf, -s, insertstop, -s, poly2bitmap, -I, /user/lib/red5/webapps/openmeetings/upload/files/le8…
I could not find any settings in the /usr/lib/red5/webapps/openmeetings/config.xml file for the pdf2swf arguments.
And I don’t think that I can change this in OpenMeetings, it is most likely set somewhere in the source code?
Sadly I have never managed to successfully build OpenMeetings using “ant”, but checking the source code, maybe the place to add the “-j” option may be in;
./openmeetings/trunk/singlewebapp/src/org/openmeetings/app/documents/GenerateSWF.java line 216
// Create the Content of the Converter Script (.bat or .sh file)
I wonder if the developers would be able to add the “-j” option as a user setting?

Yes, I have tried zooming in, but zooming in just high lights that the
actual conversion is of poor quality, looks to be around 200dpi, where
400dpi or 600dpi would be preferred.
Most of our documents or slides contain images, which once converted
have far less quality than the original PowerPoint Slide or Word
Document when viewed on the computers screen. Particularly any text in
the images is not quite readable.

I believe Word PDF and PowerPoint files are converted to *.swf

Currently the quality of any images within these documents is so
poor that we cannot clearly read the text within images contained in
the uploaded PDF, Word or PowerPoint files.

I believe Word PDF and PowerPoint files are converted to *.swf
files.
Currently the quality of any images within these documents is so
poor that we cannot clearly read the text within images contained in
the uploaded PDF, Word or PowerPoint files.
Using: Debian Linux server,
openmeetings-2.0.0.r1328537-20-04-2012_2319.tar.gz (Build #43)

Have you tried zooming in? Top right hand corner is the zoom slide bar, I've not seen any poor conversions in my setup to be honest.
