PowerPoint PDF Creation on a Mac

New Here ,

Hello,

 

I have a Mac.

I have PowerPoint on the Mac.

In the PowerPoint I've tried to export my document to pdf - but the hyperlinks don't work in the pdf.

I tried using the "Create and Share Adobe PDF" button - but once I did, the font and formatting went off.

 

Is there a way/tool that I can use that can create a PDF, keep the hyperlinks and keep the formatting I've used in PowerPoint?

Exporting an interactive PDF from any MS Office app on Mac is nearly impossible. It's an Apple thing, not Adobe.

 

Suggestion:

Open the PPT file in a Windows version of PowerPoint that has the Adobe Acrobat PDF Maker extension (plug-in) installed. This will give you the PDF Maker export tools to make the PDF you need.

 

Details about making interactive (and accessible) PDFs from MS office are detailed in our blog, https://www.pubcom.com/blog/tutorials/ms-office/export-pdf/index.shtml

not entirely! the best way to do it, if you're using a MS365 account to create the ppt, open it in webview and PDF from there. all of your links will be intact.

Hi @getweild,

 

Hope you are doing well. Thanks for writing in!

 

When exporting from Power Point, you can go to the Acrobat Ribbon-> click on Preferences-> make sure the check box "Add Links" is checked.

[screenshot attached for reference]

 

 

Hope this helps.
