Save slide show as pdf in Elements 14

Can I save a slide show as pdf with Elements 14?  I have done this in the past - has this feature been removed?  It seems I can only save (annoyingly) in 'movie' format.

Thanks for the help.

    Bill,

    I am afraid you won't find a satisfactory solution in Elements to output a multipage pdf with captions.

    The best you could do would be to use one of the many pdf virtual printers on the market, like Microsoft Print to pdf (included in Windows 10).

    - You select your items in the organizer,

    - you use the 'Print' dialog, setting the printer as 'Microsoft Print to pdf', clicking on the 'More options' of the print dialog, then clicking the 'include captions' check mark.

    The problem is that you have no customization options to format your captions.

    Hi,

    From the Share dropdown on top right select PDF Slideshow. Complete the workflow and you'll be directed to your e-mail client with the PDF slideshow as an attachment. You can save that attachment to your hard disk too.

    Thanks,

    Hi again,

    My goal is to create a slide show that includes the captions I added in

    Elements Organizer. They don't seem to come with the pdf file. The video

    slide shows are much to large. Is there a way I can have the pdf slides

    appear with the embedded captions as they do on the video slide show?

    Thanks

    Bill

    Select your files, and in the right panel (Create and share), choose 'Share'. The slideshow pdf option is the last one.

    It appears that the only selection is to mail the pdf.  I want to save it to my hard disk - is there a way to do this?

    Thanks.
