To Preload or Not to
Preload: That Is the
Question
Adobe Presenter gives you
two options for managing
Flash movie preloading.
Choose Download Slides
Completely Before Playback
if your users are likely to
use slow download speeds
to view the presentation.
It will take a short while to
download all the slide con-
tents and delay the start of
the presentation, but there
won't be interruptions dur-
ing the presentation.
If you have multiple Flash
movies on your presentation
(and two or more are on con-
secutive slides), choose Disa-
ble Preloading of Embedded
Flash Movies. This way, the
first movie must finish play-
ing before the second one
can start playing.

You can build the Presenter publication over your underlying Power-
Point publication at any stage of development—whether you start a new
publication from scratch or open an existing slide show.
Tip
To save time when configuring Presenter settings, it's quickest to have the
set of slides created and the basic titling finished. That way, when you select
some of the configuration options, you won't have to guess at settings.
To get under way, open your presentation in PowerPoint and then
choose Adobe Presenter > Presentation Settings to open the four-tab
dialog (Figure 63).
Use the settings in the dialog to configure the presentation features:
1. In the Appearance tab, change the publication appearance:
•
Type an alternate title for your presentation if you don't want to use
the default title, which is the PowerPoint file's name.
•
Type a summary for the presentation to describe its purpose and
contents. If you use your presentation on Adobe Connect Pro, the
summary is shown with other presentation data; in a PDF or local
presentation, the summary isn't used.
