Set printing options, if needed. if you need to create a PDF of a
presentation for handout purposes you may want to print out 4 or 6 pages per
slide as to maximize usability and print costs. To do this you will need to
select "Handouts" in the "Print What" pull-down menu, then choose the "Slide
per page" option (all within the Print dialog box).Click to enlarge
Click OK. Acrobat will prompt you to give your file a name, and it will save
it on your hard drive as a PDF file.
It's all done, just take into account that such operation may take a while,
depending on the length and on the weight of your presentation.
