Overview
This article will show you how to convert a PowerPoint into a PDF. PDFs will perserve the layout of the page, which makes saving and sharing documents as PDFs good practice.
Steps
Converting a PowerPoint to PDF is different depending on what version of PowerPoint is being used. On new versions (2016 and Microsoft 365), users can select File > Save as Adobe PDF (if Adobe Reader is installed).
- In Microsoft PowerPoint, click File > Save As. File is located in the upper-left of the software.
- Choose a location to save your PDF. This process is the same as it is when saving the PowerPoint. In this example, I'll select Desktop.
- Use the drop-down arrow and choose PDF (*.pdf).
- Click "Options..."
- Within the Options box, select Slides per page, Handouts, etc. Make your choices and click OK
- Click Save
