Distortion of shape objects in preview and publish modes

Don't Group the objects and then try to publish. If the TEXT is distorted the group rest of the objects and keep the TEXT separate and Publish. You can get some better Results.

Hi Ash, I have gotten in the practice of using images as much as possible instead of the objects as the objects ten to act funky every once in a while.  Click on the object, or group, right click, then Save As Picture.  Then replace the object with the image.  That way there is no "shape change" that can take place.

Agreed with you Robert, But a few drawbacks happen when you use images:

1. If u want to change something in the slide next time then you have to edit the image first and then you have to import it again.

2. Also in some slides images makes the file size heavier.

Agreed.  Perfectly understand you for editing purposes.  But, the transfer from PPT to Presenter causes this issue sometimes.  That's the resolution/workaround for me currently.  Instead of deleting the object once you save it as an image, maybe you can simply drag it off the slide so it wont show.  That way you'll have the original shape for editing if you need it.  You are right about it making the file size a little larger though.

Hi guys,

Thanks for the feedback...

I think the issue arises as a result of grouping these objects together, however, this could get pretty messy to manage if i do not group them, especially regards my animations.

I've had to resort to saving them as pictures and reimporting them - not ideal but will suffice for now, until the articulate developers can resolve this issue.

Many thanks Ash

Hi Ash,

I am not sure how you saved them as pictures but if you did it with PowerPoint SaveAs, there is a tool that can save all slides in a presentation as pictures and reimport them just in two clicks. While conveting all slides to pictures, it preserves media, notes and transition effects. You can check it out at GitHub.
