About PowerPoint to PDF
Exporting slides to PDF is useful when you want a fixed-layout copy for reading or printing. PPT and PPTX conversion is not yet available here. Presentation software includes export options that cover most needs.
What to do instead
- Open your presentation in its slide editor.
- Choose Export or Save as PDF, selecting slides or handouts as needed.
- Review the exported pages, especially animations and speaker notes.
What to check
Static PDF pages do not retain animations or interactive slide transitions. Decide whether to export one slide per page or a handout layout before sharing. If the deck uses custom fonts, verify they render correctly in the exported file on another device.
Limitations
PDF Maker cannot currently convert PowerPoint files directly.
Frequently asked questions
Do animations survive PDF export?
No. A PDF is a static document, so each slide becomes a fixed page without transitions or animation steps.
Should I export slides or handouts?
Use one slide per page for on-screen reading, and a handout layout with several slides per page for printed notes.
Can I combine the exported PDF with other documents?
Yes. Export the deck to PDF first, then use Merge PDF to join it with other files.
