How to Convert A PowerPoint Presentation To PDF
To convert your PowerPoint presentation to a PDF file, you will need to use the full version of Adobe Acrobat and not just the Acrobat Reader.
The advantages of converting a PowerPoint presentation into PDF (Portable Document Format) are the following: - Lighter file size
- Final user does not need to have PowerPoint (though the free Acrobat Reader will be required)
- Quality of display is guaranteed on all screen and monitor resolutions
- Layout, fonts and colors used in your presentation are maintained
- File can be seen on Mac, Linux, PC and other types of computers
- Presentation can be encrypted, password protected, and numerous features can be placed under control (copy & paste of contents, printing, etc.)
To convert your PowerPoint presentation into an Adobe Acrobat PDF file, please follow these steps:
- Open the PowerPoint file.
- Select Print from the File menu.
- Pull down the "printer" menu and choose Adobe PDF as your printer.

- Set printing options, if needed. if you need to create a PDF of a presentation for handout purposes you may want to print out 4 or 6 pages per slide as to maximize usability and print costs. To do this you will need to select "Handouts" in the "Print What" pull-down menu, then choose the "Slide per page" option (all within the Print dialog box).

- Click OK. Acrobat will prompt you to give your file a name, and it will save it on your hard drive as a PDF file.
It's all done, just take into account that such operation may take a while, depending on the length and on the weight of your presentation.
