# kprconverter.pl(1)

converts a KPresenter document from old to new format

## NAME

kprconverter.pl - converts a KPresenter document from old to new format

## SYNOPSIS

**kprconverter.pl** *old-XML new-XML*

## DESCRIPTION

This Perl script converts the XML data within a KPresenter document from the old format (v1) to the new format (v2), which is necessary due to the new text object.  It reads the old XML data from *old-XML* and writes new converted XML data to *new-XML*.

The XML data stored in a KPresenter document can be accessed by passing the **.kpr** document through gunzip.

This utility is part of the KDE Office Suite.

## NOTES

Be aware that *old-XML* should not be the original **.kpr** document, but should instead be just the extracted XML data.

This script is automatically called by KPresenter when an old format document is opened.  Ordinary users should not need to run this script themselves.
