Hi Steve,

Thanks for the reply and no problem - details coming up:

In the slide show, selected text elements or graphics are overlayed with an
"Action button", for which the "Action setting" typically is a hyperlink to
move to a different slide. In some few cases to show a video or play an audio
file, but lets stick to the "move to" buttons.

When running the slideshow with powerpoint, no problems - it works fine.
Point to the text or graphics, the cursor turns from an arrow to a hand, left
click and the predefined slide is shown. Only error encountered so far, is a
natural, remember to arrange the order of the elements, meaning the action
button is to be brought to front.

Have been using this for years, works fine. When allowing others/partners to
use the presentations, our company does not allow for the release of the ppt
file. Current practice is to convert to Adobe PDF and release the pdf file
only. Again, have been using this for some time now to - it also works fine.

Corporate has now released a new template file (new design guidelines), have
now build an up to date presentation using that new template file. The
powerpoint show works fine again. The convert to Adobe PDF action is also
concluded without any errors or warnings. The pdf file looks fine, can be
printed - everything is as it should be, except for the action buttons. When
pointing at a text element, the cursor turns into a large I, not a hand. When
pointing at a graphics, the cursor turns into a crosshair, not a hand. As
there is no selectable elements, left clicking naturally has no effect.

Conversion of the slideshow to a pdf file is actually a "click on the pdf
button" action, as adobe acrobat is installed.

Opening any powerpoint slideshow, based on the past template, converting it
to pdf - produces a pdf file which just works. Making a presentation from the
new corporate template or just a blank template (file, new, blank
presentation) makes the slideshow work as a powerpoint show, but the pdf file
is without the action buttons. They simply aren't there.

Presume that they (Action buttons) aren't converted to pdf, but fail to
identify what affects the conversion to happen or not. Found no setting in
Powerpoint (Tools, Options) or Adobe (Adobe PDF, Change conversion settings)
that are differently set. Failed to find any guidance in help files or FAQ's
either.

Any solution to this?

Thanks
