Microsoft PowerPoint settings (Windows only)

These options determine how Microsoft PowerPoint files are converted. For instructions about accessing these options, see Create or edit file type settings.

Try OpenOffice As Fallback Converter:
When this option is selected and a conversion using Microsoft PowerPoint fails or reaches the specified time-out limit, PDF Generator attempts the conversion by using OpenOffice. If the conversion using OpenOffice fails or reaches the specified time-out limit, an exception is written to the log file.

Filename Extensions:
Specifies the filename extensions for file types, separated by commas, that are accepted for this application. The default is ppt,pptx. Do not include a period before or a space between the extensions.

Convert Document Information:
Adds document information from the Properties dialog box of the source file, including title, subject, author, keywords, manager, company, category, and comments. This option is selected by default.

Add Bookmarks To Adobe PDF:
Converts PowerPoint titles to bookmarks. This option is selected by default.

Attach Source File To Adobe PDF:
Adds the source file to the PDF file as an attachment. This option is deselected by default.

Enable Accessibility And Reflow With Tagged Adobe PDF:
Embeds tags into the PDF file. This option is deselected by default.

Convert Multimedia To PDF Multimedia:
Converts multimedia to PDF multimedia, where possible. This option is selected by default.

Convert Speaker Notes:

Run Macros Automatically:
Runs any macros in the PowerPoint document (such as a macro that inserts the current time) before converting the document.

PDF Layout Based On PowerPoint Printer Settings:
Uses PowerPoint printer settings to lay out the PDF document.

Add Links To Adobe PDF:
Preserves existing links when the file is converted. The appearance of links is generally unchanged. Links can be created only if the Enable Accessibility option is also selected. This option is selected by default.

Save Slide Transitions In Adobe PDF:
Converts slide transitions. This option is selected by default.

Save Animations In Adobe PDF:
Saves converted animations in the PDF file.

Convert Hidden Slides To PDF Pages:

Create PDF/A-1a Compliant File:
Forces the use of the PDF/A-1b:2005 RGB Adobe PDF setting.

A few PowerPoint features are not converted when you produce a PDF file. If a PowerPoint transition does not have an equivalent transition in Acrobat, a similar transition is substituted. If multiple animation effects are in the same slide, a single effect is used. Page transitions and bullet fly-ins are converted.
