PowerPoint + Acrobat

[til]

When creating an Acrobart file from Power point i get from
time to time the error message : "powerpoint found an
error that it can't correct...".
I read the articale about the Nav and office conflict
(http://www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/FAQ00220.htm)

but this not seems to be the problem becouse i have NAV
COPORATE and not 200x and its not happing when i close the
application just when im printiing to PDF (using acrobat 5)
its seems that in simpale jobs (like one page with the
word test) the problem is not apper just when im using a
largge jobs.

Thanks Til

Corrupted slides or objects on slides might be the cause of this.
I'd first make a copy of your presentation and put it someplace safe.

Are you using PDFWriter? That might be part of the problem. Always use the
Acrobat Distiller printer instead.

Then read this, follow the suggestions, then save the presentation under a new
name and try making your PDF again:

Do this before using PowerPoint seriously

If that doesn't solve the problem, try this:

HTML "Round-tripping" to repair corruption

If that still leaves you unable to print, c'mon back and let's talk some more.

Why?

Why?

Depending on the version of Acrobat and PowerPoint, it may crash or give bad
results or get up to other mischief. PDFWriter's mostly intended for printing
quick and simple text/light graphics pages to PDF, not for serious graphics
use. That's the company line from Adobe, not just my opinion, by the way. ;-)

Actually, I figure it this way: there's a *reason* why they stopped installing
PDFWriter by default in Acrobat 5 and totally discontinued it in Acrobat 6.
