Loss of quality in conversion

Question

Good afternoon. Whenever I convert a pdf file using adobe acrobat or using windows menu conversion, the images lose a lot of quality. Is there any way to convert to PDF quickly with your program that will not lose quality? Thanks

If you are trying to create a PDF file from a PowerPoint presentation under Windows 10 with Acrobat DC installed, perform the following steps:

(1) Open the PowerPoint presentation in PowerPoint.

(2) From the Acrobat tab in the PowerPoint ribbon, click on Preferences, specify Conversion Settings to be Standard or High Quality Print and press OK. These settings will downsample images to 300dpi only if over 450dpi and will use the least lossy JPEG compression.

(3) From the Acrobat tab in the PowerPoint ribbon, click on Create PDF and in the file dialog, specify the file name for the PDF and and other options (there is an Options) button, and press Save.

(4) This should provide a very high quality PDF file from your PowerPoint presentation with fonts embedded and the least amount if any raster image quality loss.

No, don't use any funky “right click” options from Explorer or any cloud services as you may lose signficant quality.
