Failure detected because of too large images in Open office Impress

This is a user with a Dell computer, 512 MB memory, which had a presentation and IMPRESS at time of printing, the computer hung, he started to suspect of the contents of the foil and not of the Ubuntu operating system, or Open Office, or of the equipment where it was observed that the printing worked well with any other application. The problem was due to some logos embedded in the presentation, which sum was of a weigh that compromised the processor memory.

While the logos or emblems that are displayed on a page takes up very little space on paper, it was about 2 Mb (stretching it by its corners can be seen that does not lose sharpness, which betrays its hyper-size), when original version in the Downloads page of the intranet is 0.330 Mb and the company logo is 2Mb, was also accompanied with the emblems of Footer "emblem of left foot" of 1.6 Mb and " right standing emblem "of 1.8 Mb

Apparently these logos were copied from a paper originally circulated before the official PR emblems placed on the Intranet site of the Corporation, the same on a Dell machine of good abilities, involves the operation of equipment when making an impression, slowing and preventing use other applications until they finished printing half hour later.

When you want to corroborate the original size of a logo, you can use the ACQUIRE function -> Paste as NEW in the GIMP menu Applications -> Graphics. At this point you can use the toolbar and the option SCALE IMAGE, and measure the size in pixels or just save the image to see how much measured as a file, looking for it in the folder where it is saved with nautilus.

Remember, the measure of a letter size is 8.5 inches x 11, and a screen is 800 x 600 / 1024 x 768 pixels, if we're talking that this is a logo should occupy one-eighth page or screen, thinking the most it should take.

An eighth of the logo image page "quite large" should be more or less in 4 x 2 inches and 300 x 200 pixels.

In this case I recommend using GIMP to reduce logos or asking the user to copy the official emblems that are on the official company Intranet.
