Creating a PDF from PowerPoint with Bookmarks and Notes Pages

New Here ,
Mar 20, 2020 Mar 20, 2020

I'm attempting to create a PDF document from PowerPoint (Office 365).  I want to generate the Notes Pages AND PDF bookmarks (from the titles of each slide).  I have only found ways to do one or the other.  I can generate a PDF with the Notes Pages from File->Print->Settings->Print Layout->Notes Pages.

I can generate a PDF with bookmarks using File->Save as Adobe PDF->Options->Create Bookmarks. 

I'm using Windows 10. 

 

But I can't find an option in either path for the other option.  Any pointers, ideas, help is appreciated.

Hi,

this is old post but I don't see any replies and I have exactly the same question, using the same Office 365 and Win10.

 

I have PowerPoint presentation and I want to create pdf file where Notes of the Slides are following the Slide AND to have PDF bookmarks (from the titles of each slide). Please see attached screenshots. Depending on the method used (the same as above), I can have Bookmarks but then Slide Notes are in the separate layer (SlideNotesNotCorrectlyShowingBookmarksOK.jpg) or Slide Notes are correctly printed but then I don't have Bookamrks (SlideNotesCorrectlyShowingNoBookmarks.jpg)

 

Anyone knows the solution? Thanks!

I don't think either of you are missing anything in the available options for each method of exporting to PDF. If notes must be located under each slide you will have to create the bookmarks manually. If it helps, you can 1.) highlight the slide title in the text and 2.) hit the add bookmark option for each slide. This will fill in the bookmark automatically while setting the location at the same time. Not ideal but maybe to help a little...

Hi,

 

Thanks for confirming (and for the tip), I was really going in circles here. I have some old macros that were doing that stuff automatically, but with the change of Acrobat versions those do not work anymore. OK, it seems that I have to live with it 🙂 

 

Thanks again
