Why convert PPT to PDF There are two benefits for converting PowerPoint to PDF: Benefit 1: It reduces your file size by as much as one third, making it easier to share and email your file with your colleagues, bosses and clients.

Benefit 2: It locks down your PowerPoint presentation and protects your content.

That way someone cant just copy and paste your content into their presentation.

To protect your presentation outside of the PDF file format option, you can also save your presentation as a Picture Presentation or password protect your presentation.

What about hyperlinks, transitions and animations Because the PDF file format is meant for printing (not presenting graphics), there are a number of PowerPoint features you lose in the conversion process.

PowerPoint animations to PDF (new workaround) So there is a NEW workaround you can use to get your animations into the PDF file format using some VBA code.

On his blog, Neil Mitchell has written a macro you can install to convert your PowerPoint animations into the PDF file format.

On the flip side, if you dont install that macro, all of your PowerPoint animations will be removed when you convert PowerPoint to PDF.

This means that all your animated objects will be left where they are on your slide.

It doesnt matter what type of animation you had applied to them either (appear, disappear or motion path effect).

For example, if you have a list of bullet points with the Appear Animation effect applied to them, your bullets will just appear (as they are) without the animations applied to them.

Thankfully, you will not lose your bullet points.

Off slide content All off slide content including speaker notes, comments, formatting guides or graphics outside of your slide space will be removed.

If you have off slide content that you dont want removed, make sure to sweep through your presentation and move it onto your slide before you convert PPT to PDF.

Slide transitions and effects All slide transitions and timings are removed in the PDF file format.

If you need to keep your transitions and other other effects, you will want to use a different method for protecting your presentation.

Hyperlinks and zoom transitions The PDF file format does support hyperlinks.
