Using Print Settings
If you want your slides to be
included as part of a larger
PDF file that uses standard-
sized pages, use the PDF
layout based on PowerPoint
print settings in the Appli-
cation Settings of the PDF-
Maker Settings dialog. The
default layout for a presenta-
tion uses Landscape orien-
tation and often a full-color
background; printing a pres-
entation as part of a larger
document can take a lot of
time and consume a lot of
ink if you simply convert the
presentation itself. Of course,
using the print settings
option depends on the con-
tent of your presentation.
Bullet lists, for example, will
display properly in a Portrait
orientation; images or charts
may not.

Convert Speaker Notes converts the notes added to your slides to text
note comments in the PDF. Read about text notes and other types of
comments in Chapter 10.
•
"Use PowerPoint printer settings" uses the same printer settings in the
PDF document as in the original file. Read more about printer settings
in the sidebar "Using Print Settings. "
Slides—Without the Backgrounds
If you don't remember to use a print setting to convert your PowerPoint
presentation to PDF, don't worry. You aren't stuck with redoing it to remove
the backgrounds. Acrobat 9 offers a new feature that lets you remove the
background only from your converted slides. Read about using and modifying
backgrounds in #54, "Adding Watermarks and Backgrounds. "
