PowerPoint PDF

[Guest]

I am trying to make a PDF from PowerPoint with the updated Adobe Acrobat 7.0
(I think it is 7.1). I notice that my slide tab (the little slides to the
left in PowerPoint) look different from my slides in the slide pane. The
text and graphics in the slide tab view are not in the same locations or
proportions as the text and graphics in the slide pane. The crazy thing is
that when I create a PDF, it appears that the slide tab view is what is being
used, because even after I figured out how to elmiinate the white margins in
making my PDF, the text boxes and graphics are cut off oddly and the font
sizes have changed. I cant' see what is really happening, so I can't format
the slides t make this work. I am tgoing to school online, and this problem
is preventing me from posting my homework!

The most likely thing, I'm guessing, is font substitution. Open your
presentation, choose Format, Replace Fonts from the main menu and look at the
whole list of fonts in the upper listbox. Are there any with ? icons next to
their names?

If so, select each one in turn, choose a likely replacement font in the lower
listbox and click Replace.
