+Impressive is a program that displays presentation slides. But unlike
+OpenOffice.org Impress or other similar applications, it does so with
+style. Smooth alpha-blended slide transitions are provided for the sake
+of eye candy, but in addition to this, Impressive offers some unique
+tools that are really useful for presentations.
+
+Creating presentations for Impressive is very simple: You just need to
+export a PDF file from your presentation software. This means that you
+can create slides in the application of your choice and use Impressive
+for displaying them. If your application does not support PDF output,
+you can alternatively use a set of pre-rendered image files or you use
+Impressive to make a slideshow with your favorite photos.
+
+This requires PyOpenGL, pygame. pdftk is optionally required for
+retrieving PDF metadata (page titles, hyperlinks).
