How to Convert A PowerPoint Presentation To PDF

To convert your PowerPoint presentation to a PDF file, you will need to use the full version of Adobe Acrobat and not just the Acrobat Reader.
The advantages of converting a PowerPoint presentation into PDF (Portable Document Format) are the following:
Lighter file size
Final user does not need to have PowerPoint (though the free Acrobat Reader will be required)
Quality of display is guaranteed on all screen and monitor resolutions
Layout, fonts and colors used in your presentation are maintained
File can be seen on Mac, Linux, PC and other types of computers
Presentation can be encrypted, password protected, and numerous features can be placed under control (copy & paste of contents, printing, etc.)

To convert your PowerPoint presentation into an Adobe Acrobat PDF file, please follow these steps:
Open the PowerPoint file.
Select Print from the File menu.
Pull down the "printer" menu and choose Adobe PDF as your printer.Click to enlarge
Set printing options, if needed. if you need to create a PDF of a presentation for handout purposes you may want to print out 4 or 6 pages per slide as to maximize usability and print costs. To do this you will need to select "Handouts" in the "Print What" pull-down menu, then choose the "Slide per page" option (all within the Print dialog box).Click to enlarge
Click OK. Acrobat will prompt you to give your file a name, and it will save it on your hard drive as a PDF file.
It's all done, just take into account that such operation may take a while, depending on the length and on the weight of your presentation.

How To Give A Great Presentation

How To Give A Great Presentation
Posted July 20, 2005 —
Public speaking can be very stressful. I know that whenever I get up in front of a crowd I go through a panic moment. It takes a lot of discipline, practice and preparation to put on a good presentation and even knowing what you need to know can be hard.
A year or so ago I wrote on the subject of first time speaking. Since that time I’ve been able to use many of those tips as well as some new tricks to help get myself ready for speaking engagements. I also had a chance to spend time with a speaking coach which helped more than I’d have ever guessed.
Now when I’m speaking, while not 100% comfortable, I do feel much better and I’m able to not only make it more fun for me, I think I pass along that good feeling a bit more to my audience. I’ve got several good tips, tricks and resources that will hopefully help some of you. These things should help whether you’re speaking at a large conference, giving a small internal presentation to you coworkers or classmates or giving a sales pitch. They’re pretty universal.

Mental and Physical Preparation Before Your Presentation
I’ve found that the more prepared I am, the more confident I feel. This makes for a better presentation. As you get comfortable speaking you’ll naturally feel more confident and the need to prepare (and time it takes) will not be so important. For newer and first time speakers I think you should spend as much time as you can getting ready. Well, don’t make yourself crazy, just make sure you know and feel comfortable with your material and practice a few times.
If you’ve never spoken before a meeting with a speech coach can really help. They talk with you, get an idea of your style and will offer you some specific advice on how to address the crowd, what your particular problems might be and more. For example when I went I was told:
Speak slower.
Talk to individuals in the crowd.
Think before you speak. Take pauses.
These things were (and still are) very, very helpful for me to remember when I’m speaking. Going over them before I get up there reminds me and helps me be more calm and confident.
A few other ways to prepare yourself:
Drink lots of water.
Get a good night’s sleep.
Avoid the urge to go out drinking the night before. If you do, moderate yourself. (Especially if you’re at SXSW.)
Eat.
Breathe.
Visualize a positive outcome.
Hang out with the other speakers (if there are any) and ask them questions and for advice. This always helps me as they will usually build you up.
Preparing Your Support Materials
The key to preparing your actual presentation is to remember that less is more. If you want to share your information with people who couldn’t be there, try writing an article. Even detailed presentations have something missing. A few common, and good to know, guidelines to a good presentation:
Keep text to a minimum. No more than 5 bullet points per slide and if you can keep them to one core idea—that’s better. People will tend to read this stuff and not pay attention to what you’re saying.
Check the contrast and font size. Make sure that if you have text on the screen that people can read it.
Use pictures to get your idea across. They’re easier to remember, less distracting and make more impact. Have stories ready and use imagery to set the backdrop.
Avoid complicated charts and graphs, they’re hard for your audience to follow. Keep visual ideas very simple.
Check the resolution of your presentation. Maybe go with 800×600 to be safe. I don’t know how many times I’ve seen slides that don’t fit on the screen. You never know for sure how it’s going to work out when you get things set up if you don’t have full control over the environment.
Have simple to follow notes to go along with your slides and major talking points. They should serve as a reminder, not something for you to read from.
Prepare more than you can speak to, but also be prepared to get cut short. Time flies up there.
Giving The Presentation
While you don’t want to spend too much time while in the midst of your presentation thinking about what to say or do, but there are a few things you should remember when speaking:
Think positive.
Tell stories. Stories will get your idea across much better than charts and graphs and numbers. They also have the added benefit of helping to engage your audience.
Don’t read your slides. They should support what you are saying, not be what you are saying. The same goes for your notes.
Keep your intro short and strong. People want to know who you are, but they also want to get into the meat of your talk. A quick, solid and clear intro is better than a meandering joke or list of accomplishments any day. Changes are most people in the audience know a bit about you already.
Keep it slow and steady. Pause when you need to take a breath, you’ll think better.
Don’t agonize over mistakes, and don’t say your sorry. Keep confident and if you mess up—move on.
Pause to let strong ideas sink in. This can be hard to remember, but your audience needs time to absorb and take breaks too!
Smile, joke and laugh if appropriate. A little humor can go a long way, but don’t over do it.
Learn from your mistakes. I know that I learn a little every time I get up and speak.
End strong. Make your finally crisp, clean and powerful.
Be prepared for interruptions and questions. If you are doing well, you’ll have lots of questions.
I hope this stuff helps some of you. I know that the advice I’ve been given over the years has helped me quite a bit. I’m still not a great speaker, but I’m getting better and I sure as heck feel more comfortable about it than I used to—which to me is more than half the battle. As always, if you’ve got more tips or a story of your own, post it in the comments.

Write down the location of the SWF file you want to use. 2. Choose View>Toolbars>Control Toolbox. 3. Click the Hammer button (More Controls). 4. Choose Shockwave Flash Object from the menu. 5. Drag a box across the screen to get the desired size and location. 6. Right click the box and choose Properties. 7. In the Properties window, click the top line, Custom.

If your movie didn’t appear in Normal view, it will appear when you return to Normal view after running the slide show.

Importing a PowerPoint presentation into Flash

Earlier we explained how to bring a Flash movie into PowerPoint, but how about bringing a PowerPoint presentation into Flash? You can't do it directly, but you can save the files in WMF format and import them into Flash. Here's how: · In PowerPoint, choose File > Save As.· In the Save as type drop-down list, choose WMF (a vector format) and click Save.· When asked if you want to save all the slides, say you do (if that's what you want). PowerPoint saves all the slides in a separate folder.· Open your Flash movie and click the first keyframe where you want to start. · Choose File > Import. Find the files in the folder and click the first one. They'll be named slide1.wmf, slide2.wmf, and so on. Click Open. · When Flash asks you if you want to import the entire sequence, click Yes. Flash imports each slide onto consecutive frames. Because you're importing a vector format, you can edit all the objects and the text in Flash!

How To Convert PowerPoint To Flash Manually

Converting PowerPoint to Flash would absolutely be a good choice to distribute your bulky PowerPoint Presentation.You can do the whole PowerPoint-to-Flash conversion manually or with related softwares. First, you'll need to prepare the PowerPoint document. Make sure you are not using any complicated gradients or animations. These will be interpreted poorly when they are brought into Flash. Also, make sure there are no objects that fall outside the confines of the slide area. This will ensure that all the slides align correctly when they are imported to Flash. Now, save a copy of your presentation without any background images. You may want to also choose a contrasting background color to easily see the content of each slide. You all import the background images into Flash at a later time. Second, choose File > Save As... from your PowerPoint document and save the presentation as a Windows Metafile (*.wmf). This will save your entire presentation as a sequence of files. WMF files keep all text. Next, create a new Flash Document and resize the Stage to 720 x 540. Change the background color to black. Choose File > Import > Import to Stage... and import the first WMF file. When asked to import all of the images in the sequence, choose Yes. This will place each slide from your presentation onto a sequence of frames. Then, create a new layer under the slides layer and import the images to use for your background. You'll probably need two images, one for title slides and one for the regular slides. Now it's time for some manual labor. You'll need to go through every frame of the movie and delete the solid background shape from your slides layer. Once this is complete, you should see the content of each slide with the correct background image behind it. Finally, add a frame to the end of your movie. Place some static text on that frame that says something like "End of slideshow, click to exit." Alright, now it's time to move on to some ActionScript. Create a new layer for your actions. There are a few statements you'll need to include right away. First, you want this movie to play full screen so add an fscommand. fscommand("fullscreen","true")-;To make sure the Stage resizes correctly specify the scaleMode. Stage.scaleMode = "exactFit"; Finally, you don't want the movie to begin playing through all the slides right away before the user starts clicking, so add a stop function. stop(); You'll need to include some functions that will be used frequently to navigate the presentation. function gotoNextSlide():Void { if (_currentframe < _totalframes) { gotoAndStop(_currentframe + 1); } else { quit(); } } function gotoPreviousSlide():Void { gotoAndStop(_currentframe - 1); } function gotoHome():Void { gotoAndStop(1); } function gotoEnd():Void { if (_currentframe < _totalframes) { gotoAndStop(_totalframes - 1); } } function quit():Void { fscommand("quit"); } Next, we need to handle all the keyboard and mouse events so that the user can navigate through the slides. We'll do this by creating a new listener object. var myListener:Object = new Object(); myListener.onKeyDown = myOnKeyDown; myListener.onKeyUp = myOnKeyUp; Key.addListener(myListener); myListener.onMouseUp = myOnMouseUp; Mouse.addListener(myListener);-Here are the listener functions. function myOnKeyDown():Void { if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN) Key.isDown(Key.PGDN)) { gotoNextSlide(); } else if (Key.isDown(Key.UP) Key.isDown(Key.PGUP)) { gotoPreviousSlide(); } else if (Key.isDown(Key.END)) { gotoEnd(); } else if (Key.isDown(Key.HOME)) { gotoHome(); } } function myOnKeyUp():Void { if (Key.getCode() == 27) { quit(); } } function myOnMouseUp():Void { gotoNextSlide(); } If that's too complicate to you, you can try some PPT to SWF software, like SameShow PPT to SWF Converter,MelodyPPT,Arbicate etc, all of them can help you convert PowerPoint to Flash with cool effects From http://www.sameshow.com
