How to Convert PowerPoint to PDF (PPT to PDF)

In this step-by-step overview, learn how to convert a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation into an Adobe PDF. We look at three ways to export your PowerPoint to PDF, including using File - Export, File - Save As, and File - Print. We also explore various options, like converting all slides or just a range of slides, and various publish options, like slides, handouts, notes, or outline. Lastly, I show you a hidden trick that allows you to email a PDF attachment with just one click by adding a command to the Quick Access Toolbar.

Such a useful tutorial 🔥 I really like the methods and the last one is very helpful, but PDFs do not support animation and transitions 😭 But yes, it is useful to upload it on the 👍 web

the first option you showed would always give me an error code but the second option you showed actually worked for me! Thank you I didn't even think about the save as option.

Thanks so much Kevin for all the useful tips you've been sharing. I did a screen recording video in PowerPoint (based on one of your tutorials, thanks again!) as a part of my PowerPoint presentation. How do I share the content in pdf with the option to play the screen recording video?

Hey Kevin, another great comprehensive video! We have run into an issue we hope there is a solution to. When we use any of the methods laid out in your video, any link that is written out will remain clickable in the PDF but links embedded in images don't retain their clickability. Is there a way to convert a PPT into a PDF and keep clickable images and objects without having to include a written out link? Any insight you have would be great! Thanks!
