PPT to PDF?

[Guv Bob]

Is there a simple way to convert a PPT powerpoint file to PDF without going through a paste-up process?

Thanks in advance.

- A simple (and open source) way is PDFCreator

http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/
"PDFCreator easily creates PDFs from any Windows program. Use it like
a printer in Word, StarCalc or any other Windows application."

- Otherwise, you may try http://Conv2pdf.com (online service)

Good luck

Generally speaking, you just use File | Print and print to a PDF driver.
Somehow I suspect there's more to your question than that, though. If you
need to preserve links and stuff, then Prep4PDF is the way to go (as Shawn
suggested already).

Another good tip would be to use Google Docs (www.google.com/docs) to
import your PPT, then use Google's native PDF export tool to create
your PDF file. Does a ripper of a job!

There's a freeware program called PDF Creator. I use it all the time
to do just what you're talking about. Download it and then you print
to it as if it were another printer. Save and print the result and
you're done.

Thanks, P and Chuck!!

Not sure what you mean by a 'paste up' process.

You can download the free PDF Creator (google for it). This becomes a
"Printer" in your computer. So from within any software that can print
stuff (MS Office, email tools, browser) you can simply print a
document, and instead of a printer, specify PDF Creator as the
printer. This creates a PDF file on your computer.

There are some online tools too. There's a free "Create PDF" section
on acrobat.com, and now Google Docs does some very basic importing of
PPT files as well -- but don't expect any big stuff from this.

I've found that all of these scenarios will create PDF files that will
have a border around the slides. That's the way printers work in
Windows anyway. If you don't want the borders, then Acrobat
Professional is pretty much the only solution I'm aware of.

Hope this helps.
