Adobe Presenter 6

Add and edit presenters

A presenter is a person who provides information during a presentation. For example, if the subject is software training, the presenter may be an instructor, trainer, or product manager. A single presenter can be assigned to all slides in a presentation, or different presenters can be assigned to individual slides.

You can display information about the presenter: name, job title, short biographical notes, a company logo, and contact information. This information can make a presentation more credible, personal, and interesting.

Add a new presenter profile

In Presenter, you store presenter profiles in one central location. You can then use them in any presentations you create.

  1. In PowerPoint, open a presentation (PPT file).
  2. From the Adobe Presenter menu, select Preferences.
  3. Select the Presenters tab.
  4. Click Add.
  5. Enter the name of the new presenter.
    Note: The Name text box is the only text box that you must fill in to create a new presenter.
  6. (Optional) Enter a job title, such as Vice President.
  7. (Optional) Next to the Photo text box, click Browse and navigate to an image file in JPEG or PNG format. The recommended size for a presenter photo is 88 x 118 pixels. After you select an image file, the image appears in the Presenter Photo area on the right. During the presentation, the image is displayed at this exact size in the Presenter viewer.
  8. (Optional) Next to the Logo text box, click Browse and navigate to a logo file in JPEG or PNG format. The recommended size for a logo is 148 x 52 pixels. After you select an image file, the image appears in the Logo preview on the right. During the presentation, the logo is displayed at this exact size in the Presenter viewer.
    Note: If you added a video file, such as a “talking head” video file of a person speaking, that video is displayed in the logo area. If you add a logo file, the video file takes precedence and the logo will not be displayed.
  9. (Optional) Enter an e‑mail address.
  10. (Optional) In the Biography text box, enter information about the presenter, such as professional and educational credentials, employment history, phone number, or job description.
  11. If you want to make this person the default presenter for all presentations, select the Default option.
