    Saving PowerPoint Slide Shows as PDF Handouts

    When creating a document that contains images, saving as a PDF can have substantial compression value. This is also true with PowerPoint presentations. When saving a document that contains only text, pdf is many times larger. Instead, it is suggested that you save as an .rtf to ensure compatibility to all students. The true advantage of PDF is that PDF readers are small in size and freely available. Microsoft has a free PDF converter Addin that converts files to PDF. If you do not have this installed, you may request assistance with this from IT. Example: PPT file size = 770 kb Converted to 3 slide handouts using Adobe Professional (File Print) file size = 48.9 kb Converted to 3 slide handouts using Microsoft PDF Addin (File Save As, minimum size selected) = 99.3
