How would you like to distribute a PowerPoint slide show—complete
with slide transitions and animation—without having to pack the files
and add a player?
PowerPoint’s PDFMaker in Word has several options you can configure
for converting a presentation to a PDF document ( Figure 13 ).
Figure 13 PowerPoint’s PDFMaker includes a number of
options for converting media and animations added to the slides.
Like a Word document, a PowerPoint document allows for comment,
tag, and bookmark conversions. These options include the following:
•
Convert Multimedia adds any linked audio or video files to the PDF file.
Read about using different media in Acrobat in Chapter 13, and see how
to use video in PowerPoint in #14.
•
Preserve Animation converts animations in the presentation to PDF
animations. The settings allow for overlapping shapes and graphics,
Action Buttons, and Action Settings.
•
Preserve Slide Transitions converts the PowerPoint transition effects to
PDF transition effects.
•
“Convert hidden slides to PDF pages” converts any slides designated
as hidden (they don’t play in the regular presentation) to pages in the
PDF file.

Take It to the
Next Level
Along with the “traditional”
sort of PowerPoint presen-
tation you can create and
convert to PDF, Acrobat 9 Pro
includes a new feature called
Adobe Presenter. Presenter
installs itself into PowerPoint
as a separate menu, and is
used to produce sophisti-
cated output. With Presenter,
you can record and edit
audio and video, design
and administer quizzes that
comply with international
standards, and export a pres-
entation as a Flash movie
embedded in a PDF, or with
all the files to make an auto-
run CD.
Read all about it in
Chapter 9, “Building Content
with Adobe Presenter.”
