In my workplace, the Office Suite is the standard. I use Powerpoint daily. My
need is to combine multiple PowerPoint files in order to get them to a Xerox
high speed printer. In order to do this I need to pdf files, combine the
files together and send to the printer so that it is in one file. If a
Powerpoint presentation contains tranparencies created by the artist, when I
pdf using PDFMaker (out of Powerpoint), I get perfect transparencies. If I
use the pdf driver (file/print/Adobe PDF. etc.), the tranparencies turn into
hatch patterns. I need to use the driver at times to create 2-up files in
order for my customers to save $$$ on color printing costs. My customers
don't want the "handouts"  style of 2-up, they like the larger 2-up version I
can create by going into the pdf driver properties box, selecting the
"layout" tab, landscape, two-up. Please help. It has to be something in the
PDFMaker driver that is not on the Adobe PDF driver. Please Help! and Thanks
in advance.

If you print from PPT to PDF usin PDFMaker, printing to normal slides ...

then

Open the PDF in Acrobat and print to PDF again, this time using the settings for
multiple slides per page of output ...

Does that work?

If you still have troubles with transparency, try Acrobat's Print as Image
option.
