Will images and fonts in my deck stay the same when I convert from PPT to PDF?
Yes, Acrobat ensures all fonts, images, and layouts are preserved when converting from PPTX or PPT to PDF.
Will special PowerPoint animations be carried over when exporting PPT to PDF?
While special animations native to Microsoft PowerPoint aren't available when using the PDF format, Acrobat does support transitions between the slides of your presentation.
Can I convert a PowerPoint to PDF on my mobile device?
Yes, you can convert PPT to PDF on any mobile device using Acrobat online. Simply upload your PowerPoint file through your web browser and download the converted PDF instantly.
Is there a file size limit when converting PPT to PDF?
The Acrobat online tool allows you to convert PowerPoint files of various sizes. However, for exceptionally large files, you may need to optimise images or reduce the presentation size for a smoother conversion.
Can I convert multiple PowerPoint files to PDF at once?
Currently, the online converter processes one file at a time. If you need to batch convert multiple PowerPoint files, Adobe Acrobat Pro provides advanced tools to streamline the process.
How can I reduce the PDF file size after conversion?
If your converted PDF is too large, use the PDF compressor to reduce file size while maintaining quality. This helps with easier sharing and storage.
How can I make sure my PDF looks good on all devices?
After converting your presentation, view it on mobile, tablet, and desktop to ensure text is readable and formatting holds. Using standard page sizes and avoiding text-heavy slides helps improve cross-device readability.
What’s the best way to prepare a PPT for printing as a PDF?
Use a standard slide size (e.g. A4 or Letter), adjust margins to avoid cut-off content, and select a landscape or portrait orientation based on your print needs. Always preview your final PDF before printing.
Can I convert multiple presentations to PDF at once?
Yes. With Adobe Acrobat Pro, you can batch convert several PPT files at once, combine multiple presentations into one PDF, and even secure or compress the output.
Will links and media still work after converting to PDF?
Most hyperlinks will work as expected in your final PDF. However, always double-check embedded media or buttons after conversion to ensure full functionality.
