How to convert a slide into a PDF file?

[Xiaoshen Li]

Hi,

I have made a big powerpoint slide for my poster. Now I want to convert
it to a PDF file. My Adobe Distiller does that. But it always make a
8.5x11 inch PDF file. I hope to make 24x32 inch PDF file. Can anybody help?

Thank you very much.

I would start, by doing a page setup in PowerPoint to match your measurements.
Create your poster and then send it to Distiller.

PowerPoint will scale its output to whatever page size you choose in the
printer driver, so:

Choose File, Print
Choose Distiller (or Adobe PDF or whatever the thing's called this week) as
your printer
Click Properties
Choose a 24x32 page size if one's defined or use the Custom size to create a
custom page that size.
Choose Scale to fit in the PPT print dialog box
Print.
