Do you want to convert PowerPoint or PPTX to PDF? This is the guide for you!
Microsoft Office PowerPoint (file type: .pptx) is a presentation program. It gives you the tools and features you need to create and present amazing presentations and slide decks.
A quick note about PPTX: You may have seen PowerPoint files referred to as PPT rather than PPTX files. This is because, until the mid 2000’s, the PPTX file type was closed so only Adobe Acrobat could work with it. It’s since become an open file type and comes with XML support (thus the “X” in “PPTX”).
Don’t fret about the technical jargon too much, all you need to know is that since becoming an open file format, more programs can support PowerPoint files.
And this makes converting PPTX to PDF much easier.
PDFs save all the images and formatting of your presentation, to avoid unwanted edits, changes, etc.
Also, converting PowerPoint to a PDF document means that you can send anyone your presentation and they’ll be able to see it, even if they don’t have PowerPoint.
And since modern computers can view PDFs by default, converting your presentation into a PDF means that whoever you send it to will be seeing the exact same thing you see, regardless of the program they use, or their internet connection.
