How to I provoke the Adobe Plugin to create correct PDFs?

[Bevi Chagnon - PubCom.com]

The problem starts with mis-formatted PowerPoint presentations, and then is made worse by incorrect settings when the PDF is exported.

Suggestions:

1. Learn how to use Microsoft PowerPoint slide masters to create the basic formatting. See https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/video-use-slide-masters-to-customize-a-presentation-055c0...
2. Use any of these 3 methods to export the PDF from PowerPoint: https://www.pubcom.com/blog/tutorials/ms-office/export-pdf/index.shtml

Hope this helps.

not sure what a slide masters have to do with anything but also these instruction don't help. None of the mentionend methodes make any difference. AvantGarde is not replicated correctly in Acrobat

Your answer tells a lot.

PowerPoint's slide masters control the fonts, sizes, and layouts of the actual slides.

Your original screen captures indicate that actual slides were manually formatted which caused the fonts to become scrambled.

As suggested above...

No, it makes no difference. Compare it with Indesign Styles. They are recommended but PowerPoint works fine without them.

Hi @kingma-sbw 

++ Adding to the discussion

Please go through the help page https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/how-to/create-pdf-from-any-document.html and see if that works for you.

No that didn't help. I obviously follow those steps. Interestingly if I use the Save as PDF from PowerPoint the document looks fine. So even the suggestions from Adobe are wrong.

Hi there

The option Save As PDF from Powerpoint is a MS process of PDF creation and not dependent on Adobe.

Please try to update the application to the new version 23.03.20269 from the help menu > check for updates, reboot the computer once, and see if that works.

I always use the latest version

Hi there,

Would you mind sharing a small video recording of your workflow to create the PDF form Powerpoint? Also, check with other PPT files and see if you can create the PDF correctly.

a 404 page did not help me, no. but thanks!

Looks like an error in the URL: the last ) + spacebar got caught in the URL formatting. Just delete them in your browser's address field.

Should end up as https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/troubleshoot-acrobat-pdfmaker-problems-office.html  which does work.

I just got this email from Adoeb from an email that is not monitored. Could someone tell that: no, the problem is not solved and that they can fire their robot?

Not only is this not helpful it also contains blaring spelling mistakes. Imo Adobe has enough money to proof read their response emails. Rather unprofessional.
