Excerpt/Capsule: This tutorial explores problems with PDF generation from PowerPoint.
Some fonts in my converted PDF are not the same as in the original PowerPoint
This often happens when you are using Adobe Type 1 fonts in your presentation, and using the free Microsoft Save as PDF and XPS add-in to convert your presentations to PDFs. However, this add-in works fine with Open Type and True Type fonts.
Why is the Save as PDF and XPS add-in not a default option?
Why doesn't Microsoft make the Save as PDF and XPS add-in as a part of Office rather than requiring me to download it as a separate add-in? That's a great question -- and no one knows for sure why they implemented the PDF output option as an extra add-in requiring a separate installation. But you can send your feedback to Microsoft.
