Adapter for Office: Using Microsoft Office to Publish PowerPoint to PDF
You can publish Microsoft Office PowerPoint (as well as Word and Excel documents) as PDF using publishing functionality from Microsoft Office.
Benefits and Description
Creo View adapters can generate PDF files for Microsoft Office documents without the Adobe Experience Manager. When using Microsoft Office to generate the pdf, only the pdf file is generated. The reader extensions that are necessary to enable markup are not applied. This functionality requires a separately purchased license.
For more information see “Miscellaneous Advanced Settings for PDF Conversion” in the Creo View MCAD Adapters Installation and Configuration Guide.
