Like (almost) everywhere many ways to convert a PowerPoint file into a PDF lead to Rome.

In the first option, you select the slides in an overview directly and convert them.

To do this, select “Slide Sorter” in your open PowerPoint file “View”

In the overview displayed there, you have a good overview of all slides in your presentation and can select them one after the other. (Hold down CTRL and select with left-click)

After selecting the desired slides, we click on “Print” in the “Start” tab and select a virtual PDF printer there.

In our example, we simply use the “Microsoft Print to PDF” feature, which is installed by default.

Under the item “Settings” in the print menu we select “Print Selection” to convert only our previously selected slides.

The 2nd possibility to bring your presentation into a PDF works as follows:

• In the “Start” tab, select “Save As” – “Browse” and assign a name for your document. As file format select “PDF”.
• After selecting the appropriate file format, you have more options for saving.
• Customize the options (such as: from page to page) for the file you want to save as a PDF, and then click Save.

After saving, you will receive a PDF document of your PowerPoint presentation that you can conveniently email or print out.

Optionally, we recommend the professional software Nuance Power PDF 2.0. This integrates seamlessly into all Microsoft Office programs, and offers even more comfort features.
