About the PowerPoint to PDF tool
A PDF of a deck is what you send when the meeting is over: it opens anywhere, prints predictably, and nobody can accidentally edit it. This tool reads the presentation directly — modern .pptx and the older binary .ppt alike — and draws each slide onto its own page at the deck's real dimensions, so a 16:9 presentation stays 16:9.
Slides are laid out with absolute positions rather than flowing text, so the conversion reads each shape's coordinates out of the file and places it exactly there. Text boxes, pictures and coloured shapes come through. Anything PowerPoint draws itself at display time — charts, SmartArt, gradients, effects — is not stored as something we can redraw, and is left out with a note telling you so.
Frequently asked questions
Can I convert an old .ppt file?+
Yes. PowerPoint 97-2003 .ppt files are read directly, with no need to re-save them as .pptx first. The format is a completely different one — a binary record tree rather than zipped XML — so it has its own reader, which pulls out the slide order, each shape's position, its text and styling, and any JPEG or PNG pictures. Two things that format keeps in the slide master do come out plainer: backgrounds are white, and text coloured from the deck's theme rather than with a literal colour is drawn in the default ink.
Will my slides look exactly the same?+
Text, images, positions, colours and the slide size are reproduced. Charts, SmartArt diagrams, gradient fills, shadows and 3D effects are not — PowerPoint renders those itself, and the file only contains the data behind them.
Are animations and transitions included?+
No. A PDF page is static, so each slide is exported in its final state, exactly as it would look after the animations have finished.
Does one slide become one page?+
Yes, at the deck's own dimensions — widescreen decks produce widescreen pages, not letterheads with white bars.
Can I include the speaker notes?+
Yes. Turn on the notes option and the first lines of each slide's notes are printed under the slide, which is handy for rehearsal handouts.
