Quick export to PDF
Click the Export Directly as PDF icon to export the entire
presentation using the default PDF settings. You are asked to enter the
file name and location for the PDF file, but you do not get a chance to
choose a page range or the print quality.
Controlling PDF content and quality
For more control over the content and quality of the resulting PDF, use
File > Export as PDF. The PDF Options dialog box opens. This dialog
box has five pages, described in this section. Make your selections, and
then click Export. Then you are asked to enter the location and file
name of the PDF to be created, and click Save to export the file.
General page of PDF Options dialog box
On the General page (Figure 192), you can choose which pages (slides)
to include in the PDF, the type of compression to use for images (which
affects the quality of images in the PDF), and other options.
Range section
• All: Exports the entire document.
• Pages: To export a range of slides, use the format 3-6 (slides 3 to
6). To export single slides, use the format 7;9;11 (slides 7, 9, and
11). You can also export a combination of slide ranges and single
slides, by using a format like 3-6;8;10;12.
• Selection: Exports whatever material is selected.
Images section
• Lossless compression: Images are stored without any loss of
quality. Tends to make large files when used with photographs.
Recommended for other images.
• JPEG compression: Allows for varying degrees of quality. A
setting of 90% tends to work well with photographs (small file
size, little perceptible loss).
• Reduce image resolution: Lower-DPI (dots per inch) images
have lower quality.
Note
EPS images with embedded previews are exported only as
previews. EPS images without embedded previews are exported
as empty placeholders.
