  • Trouble converting PowerPoint 2007 to PDF file

    In the past I used Adobe Acrobat 8 to convert my PowerPoint 2003 files to PDF files and it always decreased the file size of my document. I now have PowerPoint 2007 and I tried to convert a PPT file to a PDF file and it made my document about 5 times larger than it originally was! I have no idea how to fix this. Also, I am wondering if this is an issue for converting Word 2007 documents to PDF as well. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    It may depend on the contents of the PPT. I find that the size is typically 3 times smaller for the limited cases I have done. There are some other issues that I ran into with the way that PPT wouls split the graphics into parts when creating the PDF. It did not happen with OFFICE 2003. If you could post an example of a PDF, it might help. Bill

  • What is the best way to convert from PowerPoint 2007 to PDF?

    Greetings people,
    In PowerPoint 2007 I know you can convert to a PDF by way of printing, save as or from the Adobe menu. However, these produce different results.
    Is there a reason for this? Can settings be changed to ensure the results are the same regardless of what method is used?
    Is there a rule of thumb on which method is best?
    Thank you, Jean

    A lot depends on what you are after. If you use the printer, you will likely need to use a custom page setting to fill out the page properly and not leave spaces on the sides. I think the standard PPT page is 8.5X10, not 11. PDF Maker (or the Save As Adobe PDF) in PPT sets the size appropriately when I have used it. PDF Maker also adds links and such as appropriate, but the printer does not. Your other option is to use the Save As PDF or XPS which is the MS conversion.
    When I tested, the print did go to an 8.5X11 with a border to fit on the page. The other three techniques created the PDF in the same page size as the PPT. The PDF maker and Acrobat menu methods gave the same results, but the file was about 2X the size of the MS method. I did not check the properties that created this different size, but you would have to look at the different options for the creation and see how they compare. The Adobe approach can be kept small also, but may not have used the same options as the MS approach.
    If there were links, then the print will not embed these links and bookmarks, but the other techniques will. Maybe that helps some.

  • PowerPoint 2007 Notes Pages to PDF = low quality

    We're battling a problem here where, when printing a presentation's notes pages from PowerPoint 2007 to PDF, the result has very jagged, low quality font edges. However when printing the same presentation from PowerPoint 2003, the fonts are smooth and perfect. The same result occurs making a PDF with PDF Creator, Nuance PDF Professional 5, etc. BUT, when we print the presentation's notes pages directly to the printer (a Xerox 6060 in this case), the presentation looks perfect as well.
    Because of this, I can't tell where to start looking for help, here or Microsoft. I want to think that PowerPoint 2007 is outputting garbage to the PDF Maker, but like I said, when I print the notes pages directly to the printer, it looks fine.
    Is there anyone experienced out there that can help shed some light on this issue please?

    I assume that 2007 and 2003 of PPT were on different machines. I suspect it is either in the setup of PPT or you are not embedding fonts in the PDF. Be sure you are NOT using the Standard settings file, but select Print or Press.

  • Opening .ppt or .pdf files from flash site

    I'm trying to open a .ppt file directly into powerpoint or a
    .pdf file directly into adobe reader. When I use the GetURL
    actionscript they always open in IE. Is it possible and how do I do
    it? I'm a newbie to flash so please keep your explanations simple

    Hi,
    I read your thread with great interest and it sounds exactly
    like what I'm looking for. The only downside is I can't seem to get
    it to work. I have detailed below what I need to happen and what I
    think I need to do to make it happen.
    What I need to happen:
    Open a .pdf or a .ppt in Adobe Reader or Powerpoint (for
    respective file extensions) by clicking on a button contained on a
    .swf movie. The scenario is that the .swf file is located in C:\My
    Folder\flash.swf and the .pdf or .ppt are in the same folder.
    What I need to do to make it happen:
    Create a folder in the following location C:\My
    Folder\fscommand
    Create a .bat file (called pdflauncher.bat) and save it in
    C:\My Folder\fscommand - the .bat file has the code start
    \myfile.pdf
    Create a button on the .swf file with the actionscrip as
    below:
    on (release) {
    fscommand("exec", "pdflauncher.bat");
    This is what I've done based on reading through your previous
    thread but it doesn't work.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Cannot embed 3D PDF into powerpoint 2007

    Hello:
    I can't embed 3D model from .pdf file into powerpoint 2007.
    Followed all instructions, the 3D model is captured from VMD program using acrobat 3d 8.0,
    it is saved automatically as .pdf file,
    it is able to open and rotate in the acrobat reader,
    then in powerpoint 2007, when i want to embed it,
    i click the embed 3D button, the add 3d data window appear,
    but in the file selection, the .pdf file is not supported.
    only those .u3d, .cad, ... are supported, and i tried these, they can be embeded.
    but i am confused, how can i really embed the .pdf file to powerpoint?
    Any help is appreciated. Thanks a lot.

    Thanks for both of your help.
    I am still not quite understand how the OCX means.
    Does it mean the "embed 3D" button appeared in powerpoint or some other kind of software?
    Currently what I did is export the 3d model in the .pdf to a .u3d file.
    then I can choose the .u3d file and embed it since this format is supported. And I can rotate it in powerpoint. But the only problem is it's now in perspective view and I cannot change it to orthographic view inside the powerpoint.
    Even in the .pdf I set the default view to orthographic, the exported and embeded is still perspective.
    So is there any way to export it as orthographic model?

  • How to print an excel file (2010 version) with multiple tabs into a pdf file with bookmarks (acrobat 9). I was able to do this easily using excel (2007 version).

    Recently I got a new laptop, with excel 2010 version and acrobat 9 standard.
    I could no longer print (save as) an excel file with multiple tabs into a pdf file with bookmarks.

    Thanks if anyone could help me with this.

    You need to upgrade Acrobat to a newer version.

  • Problem when saving a PowerPoint 2008 for Mac file to PDF.

    When I save my PowerPoint 2008 for Mac file as a PDF, the text/font comes out wrong in the PDF -- kind of looks degraded (thinner, darker, more pixilated). I've tried changing the font in the PowerPoint file many times and tried saving it as a PDF both directly and through print -- but each time the text/font doesn't come through correctly in the PDF.  The images/photos in the PowerPoint file all convert to the PDF just fine.  Can anyone help?

  • Hyperlinks in Word 2007 not appearing in PDF file

    I am not sure if this is more of a Word problem, or an Acrobat problem.
    However, I have a document in Word that contains a table of contents and several cross-references that are hyperlinks to locations in the document. In the Word file, you can CTRL + click and you will be taken to the destination of the hyperlink, for example to a topic in the Table of Contents.
    I used to make these a couple years back and they worked fine.
    I am using Word 2007 on a PC with Acrobat 8.1.2. I have tried both the Standard and the Rich Content PDF job options and neither of them seems to give me hyperlinks in the finished PDF file. Am I missing something?

    I've also had problems carrying links over from a Word file (I'm using Word 2002). External links in footnotes are not carried into the PDF file unless, using Change Conversion Settings - Settings, the 'Enable Accessibility etc.' box is ticked. Even then, in a 2mb file, with a lot of footnotes, whether the links are carried into the PDF file seems to depend on which computer I use. OK with XP and 1.5gb; but with Vista and 3gb the links do not appear in the PDF file. In either case its a 10+ minutes process.
    If you don't tick the box, links in footnotes are carried over only if the actual URL appears in the text. However, the process is much quicker.

  • Can't open PDF file created in Microsoft PowerPoint in Keynote!?

    When i try to open the PDF file by finding the file in 'Finder' and then opening it with a program, keynote is not highlighted as a program that will work. I then tried to force the file to open by selecting 'all applications' instead of 'available applications'. This time keynote is highlighted, but when i try to open the PDF i get a message saying "file could not be handled because Keynote cannot open files in the “Preview Document” format."
    Please could someone help as i need to be able to open and edit these PDF files for my degree!!
    Many thanks!!

    Welcome to the forums!
    PDF files are not editable. It sounds like you need the original PowerPoint files, and not the PDF versions that were created from them.

  • Problem Creating PDF Files from Excel 2007

    I am running WinXP SP2, Office 2007, and Acrobat v8.1.2. I have an Excel workbook with multiple worksheets. When I was using Excel 2003 I could create a PDF file using five of the six worksheets. Since upgrading to Office 2007 I am unable to create PDF files from Excel. I can create PDF files from Word 2007. When I attempt to use the Acrobat Plug-in to create a PDF I get a message saying the file needs to be saved first. It then attempts to save the file to a strange, somewhat random, file name (e.g. A234G53). When I say OK Excel just hangs and is unresponsive. The way that I can clear it is to stop Excel using Task Manager. I have tried reinstalling Acrobat without successfully solving the problem. Any ideas on how I can diagnose and/or solve the problem?
    Thanks.

    Is your Excel file on a location outside your machine's disk? If so, try copying to local disk.
    Does the Excel file have any protection applied to it? If so, try removing the protection
    If these don't work, can you post a sample file that demonstrates the problem.

  • Convert powerpoint slide with embedded file (word, excel, etc) to pdf

    So far the result I have once the slide is in PDF, I can't no longer click the file to open it.
    Thank you.

    Hi Joel,
    The feature you are looking for, is currently not available in Acrobat.
    But you can create an interactive link (to open Word/Excel) using Acrobat. Please look at the following link:

  • Embedding a PDF file into PowerPoint 2010, clickable in SlideShow mode

    If you embed a PDF file into PowerPoint slide by both draging and dropping or instering it as an object, only the first page of the PDF is embedded as a picture or you can change it to a PDF icon.
    When in design mode, the embedded PDF is clickable and is opened in Adobe Reader (either from the PowerPoint slide if directly insterted or from its physical path if linked depending on the configuration).
    But in slide show mode, the picture or the icon is not clickable.
    The only workaround is to assign a hyperlink to the picture or the icon (the insterted object).
    Is there any other way in opening a PDF file from PowerPoint Slide Show without assigning a hyperlink ??

    Hi,
    Assign a hyperlink is the only way to accomplish Open file (.pdf, .docx, .xlsx) from PowerPoint Slide Show.
    From PowerPoint slide show, it only identify the file with hyperlink.
    Best Regards.

  • PDF and PowerPoint 2007, strange slides and handouts

    I'm getting strange output when I create a presentation in PowerPoint and print to Acrobat. The problems happen whether I print Slides or Handouts.
    -- On some slides, the slide title is partially or completely missing.
    -- In grayscale mode, some graphics show up in color.
    -- Solid-color shapes (boxes) show up cross-hatched.
    -- For handouts only, some slides have headers and footers, and others do not.
    I'm using PowerPoint 2007, up to date, and Acrobat Professional 9.1.3.
    I've used PowerPoint and Acrobat for many years and only recently began to have these problems. I've tried changing some of the endless printing options in Acrobat, but nothing I've found so far has made a difference.
    Those problems (with the possible exception of the color graphics in grayscale mode, I don't remember) do not happen when I print to Microsoft's XPS format.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you!

    Thank you! That's helping a lot. I don't see how to get grayscale in that route, but at least I'm getting proper color handouts, no errors. Plus it outputs much faster. Hmmm. I haven't tried saving in PPT format instead of PPTX. And then there's an Excel spreadsheet that takes several minutes to output 14 pages via print to Adobe PDF printer (it used to be much faster, I don't know why it suddenly slowed down, I didn't change the spreadsheet), I wonder if that would be faster if I saved in PDF format rather than printing to the Adobe PDF printer.
    Again, thank you. You have helped, plus you gave me leads to follow.
    ATB,
