Re-create Legacy Presentations to Play in Java-free Mode

Existing legacy desktop (.prs) presentations cannot play in Java-free mode. To make a presentation Java-free, you must re-create the presentation in mobile (.mprs) format, and replace any Java-reliant audio and video files with Java-independent files. For audio files, the accepted format is .wav, .spx, or .mp4. For video files, the accepted format is .mp4.

To re-create a presentation to play in Java-free mode

1. In Dialogue Design, click File > New Presentation on the menu.
2. In the Create New Presentation dialog box, in Format, click Mobile and Desktop, then click OK.
3. For each component (for example, .ppt file) included in the existing legacy desktop presentation:
   1. Click New Slide > Import File.
   2. Browse to and select the file.
   3. Click Open.
4. Review the imported files to identify any Java-reliant audio and video files, typically files in the following formats:
   • Audio: .we, .aac, .mp3, or other similar types
   • Video: .avi, .vp8, .swf, or other similar types
5. On your computer:
   1. Browse to the saved location of the Java-reliant audio and video file source file(s).
   2. For audio files, convert the file(s) to either .wav, .spx, or .mp4 format.
   3. For video files, convert the file(s) to .mp4 format.
6. Return to the presentation in Dialogue Design.
7. For each Java-reliant audio file:
   1. Select the slide that contains the audio file.
   2. Click Slide > Remove Audio to remove the audio file.
   3. Add the Java-independent audio file to the slide.
8. For each Java-reliant video file:
   1. Right-click the video slide, and click Delete to remove the video file.
   2. Add the Java-independent video file to the slide.
9. Save the presentation.
   • If you save the presentation using the same file name as the existing legacy desktop presentation, it will publish over the legacy file and not take up additional space on your Skillport site.
   • If you save the presentation with a different name, it will add another title and take up additional space on your Skillport site, incurring an additional cost.
10. Publish the presentation.
