The texts are not searchable in PDF published from PPT 2013 whereas it works in PPT 2003/2007. It appears convert speaker notes to text annotations in the PDF feature is missing in PPT 2013.
We used to approach the following procedure in PPT 2003/2007.
Case: The slide text used to get converted into bit images which makes the text non searchable in the published PDF.
Objective: To achieve text searchablity in the published PDF.
Software: Acrobat 9 Pro for publishing PDF from PPT 2007/2003.
Procedure:
The following two steps may be achieved by any PDF publishing software.
May be incorrect as tried on Acrobat 9 Pro.
Step 1: Open the PPT 2007/2003. Click the Start button>Save As>Adobe PDF>Save.
Alternative: In the "Acrobat" ribbon and click "Preferences". Select the option to "Convert Speaker Notes"
Step 2: Click "Yes" as illustrated in the following dialog box.
Step Result: The PDF is published.
Note: Ensure PDF is published without NotesPage (landscape) format.
Step 3: Open the PDF in Acrobat 9 Pro and Select Comments>Summarize Comments.
The following dialog box appears.
Step 4: Select required radio button and click " Create PDF Comment Summary"
Result: The texts were searchable across the published PDF document.
Please let me know if we can resolve the searchabilty issue in PDF published from PPT 2013.
