PowerPoint (2007) mpeg files won't run in pdf

[Athena]

Hello,

I have PowerPoint (Office 2007) files with mpeg files. I convert ppt files
to pdf using save as pdf option. My system has Acrobat Pro V8. But in pdf
mpeg files do not run. How can I run mpeg files in pdf files?

Alsois it possible than animations (appearing, disappearing txt etc.) could
run in ppt files saved as pdf?

Thank you.

PowerPoint animations will not transfer as PowertPoint is actually "printing"
to PDF. You have to add the media clips in Acrobat. Go to the Acrobat help
and search "media clips" and you will see how to do it.

Try using Acrobat's PDFMaker add-in rather than PPT's Save as PDF option. That
may help.

To get movie files to work, if neither converter handles them automatically,
you'll probably have to open the PDF in Acrobat and add the media links there
manually.

Hello Steve,

How can I use PDFMaker in PowerPoint. I can see it is listed in addons
but I do not know how to use it. Thank you.

I haven't installed Acrobat into Office 2007 so I'm not really sure where it'll
show up (anybody who knows, feel free to jump in here).

See if you have an Add-ins tab on the ribbon bar. If so, click that and see if
there's an Adobe item or two on it. That should get you started.
