Why convert your PowerPoint presentations into PDF?
PowerPoint Presentations are bulky and converting to PDF will drastically reduce file size. This is especially helpful if you have to email your presentations. If you wish to upload presentations on your website, it is better to upload PDFs and reduce download time. Presentations once converted into PDF cannot be altered or changed by the recipient. You can convert a presentation to a PDF and present from the PDF in full screen view.
If your presentation contains animations and slide transitions or you have embedded music or video files you should not convert the presentation to a PDF. All the effects will get lost. In almost all other cases converting to a PDF does not cause any problems.
