Hi,
I create links in my PowerPoint presentation.
After printing the slides to Acrobat Distiller none of the links are in PDF.
What do I do wrong? Thanks for help.

Printing to Distiller is like printing to paper. It doesn't preserve links
(other than their formatting).

When you installed Acrobat, it should have installed a new toolbar and menu
item called PDFMaker. If it's not there, try reinstalling Acrobat (and if
PDFMaker is an option, be sure to enable it).

PDFMaker's icons do a slightly different job of printing from PPT to PDF; one
of the differences is that it preserves some (but by no means all) links and a
few action settings.

If you find that it doesn't do a thorough enough job, try our commercial addin,
PREP4PDF (free demo at http://prep4pdf.pptools.com)
 
Thanks, Steve,
I have the PDFMaker Toolbar visible in Word but not in PowerPoint.
How do I get it there?

As I mentioned, try reinstalling Acrobat. It's been a while since I last installed
it so I don't recall whether the Office add-ins (including PDFMaker in PPT) were
optional install items or not, so be sure to do a custom install and check all your
options.
