Convering PowerPoint slides to PDF

[Sam]

I am trying to pdf some PowerPoint slides.
I am using Acrobat 5.
I got to file, print, acrobat distiller, select properties
and choose the adobe pdf settings tab, I select 'Press' as
I find E book setting doesn't produce a particulalry good
quality.
I then click on okay.
When I open the pdf up all the slides are rotated the
wrong way. I can rotate the pages back the right way, but
I just wondered why this was happening?

Incidently if I pdf it to E book settings the slides are
the right way round!

Would love to know why. Thanks very much

Here ya go:

In PowerPoint's Print dialog, choose the Distiller driver then click
Properties.

On the Acrobat tab where you choose the job settings, choose Ebook and click
Edit Settings. On the general tab you'll notice that the Autorotate option is
enabled and set to "Collectively, by file"

OK your way out of that, switch to Press, edit settings and turn Autorotate,
collectively by file on. Acrobat will want you to save the edited settings
under a new name. Give it a name that's meaningful to you (ForPowerPointPDFs,
maybe?) and save it.

Use this new setting to make your PDFs and you won't have to twirl any more of
'em.

if he has acrobat then he should have it as a menu item

if you must print, then check the conversion settings (button below
where you pick e-book/press/print/screen), in it you see the compression
settings, you may want to turn them off if your pictures were already jpeged
