MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / November 2006printing powerpoint
I have 8 different powerpoint presentations that I'm making a manual out of. I want to be able to print this like a book. I have clickbook to print with but my question is how do I link all this presentations together so there aren't any blank pages when it goes to the next presentation. Thanks in advance. Do you have the ability to turn these into PDFs. I know that Adobe Acrobat can put together several PDF files into one. You can try making one big PowerPoint file by inserting slides from one into another (be sure to check keep source formatting), but that seems more likely to mess something up to me. --David  SignatureDavid M.

You need a program that does that, such as Adobe Acrobat (not just the free reader). Search the Web because I think there are some free options. --David SignatureDavid M.

Thanks in advance. > I don't know if I can turn them into PDFs. How would I find out. From any program, choose File, Print. You'll see a printer dialog that gives you a list of the printers installed on your computer. If Adobe PDF or Distiller or something else with PDF in the name is on the list, you can probably make PDFs by picking that printer and printing. In order to combine PDFs or to eliminate blank pages, you'd need Adobe Acrobat or one of the various other PDF "editing" programs. Try doubleclicking a PDF. If you have Acrobat, it'll launch itself when you do this. If you get Reader, that won't do. It doesn't allow editing. But before getting into all of this, another question. PowerPoint doesn't add blank pages on its own. Sounds like perhaps ClickBook is doing that. Test to see if you get them when you assemble presentations with just even or odd numbers of slides and to see if there's a ClickBook option to add or not add blank pages. > > Do you have the ability to turn these into PDFs.

Thank you very much for your help. Have a good day. > > I don't know if I can turn them into PDFs.

Thank you very much for your > help. You could always do the old computer manual trick: add another slide that says This page intentionally left blank. Or for more fun: This page accidentally left blank. |
