PowerPoint vs PDF: Technical Overview
Why Convert PowerPoint to PDF?
Handouts and sharing. A PDF of a presentation opens on any device, can't be edited accidentally, keeps fonts and layout intact, and is usually much smaller than the original deck. It's the standard way to share slides after a talk, submit them to a teacher or conference, attach them to an email or post them for download.
Old .ppt files are also increasingly hard to open: some modern apps and online viewers don't support the legacy format well. Converting to PDF is a quick way to preserve and read archived presentations without needing an old copy of PowerPoint.

PowerPoint to PDF — Frequently Asked Questions
Do animations work in the PDF?
No. PDF pages are static, so each slide appears in its final state, with all animated elements visible.
Are speaker notes included?
No, only the slides themselves are converted.
Will the PDF look like my slides?
Yes. Layout, text, images and charts are kept. If a font isn't available, a similar font is used, which can slightly change text wrapping.
Can I convert .pptx files as well?
Yes. Both the older .ppt format and modern .pptx files can be converted to PDF.
Do hidden slides appear?
No. Hidden slides are left out, just as they are when you present. Unhide them first if you want them included.
