This page contains some useful programs I have written.

• PPspliT is a PowerPoint add-in that splits animation effects into different slides. Its most practical application is when you want to produce a PDF file of a presentation where several different shapes are drawn overlapped (because they are supposed to appear at different times). PPspliT does for you the job of producing a separate slide for each entry/exit/emphasis effect you would apply when the presentation is being actually played.
  
  If you still cannot get what I am saying, you may want to look at the following screenshots:
  • A complex slide and the same slide after using PPspliT to spread animation effects on different slides
  • Another even more complex slide and the same slide after processing with PPspliT
  • PPspliT toolbar in Office 2007
  • PPspliT toolbar in Office 2003 (I know: the button icon looks pretty ugly. Sorry :-( )
  • The PPspliT progress dialog
  
  If you want to know more about the add-in features and limits, you may want to have a look at the source code. A complete source package is also available, in case you want to rebuild the add-in.
  
  Download PPspliT 1.0 installer (~700KB, released in Nov 2009, includes uninstaller)
  Compatibility: PowerPoint XP, 2003, 2007. All of the add-in features are implemented for all PowerPoint versions, but minor glitches may exist with versions prior to 2007, sometimes due to VBA bugs.
