If you have Adobe Acrobat, PrimoPDF, or other program that creates pdf,
choose Print from the File drop down menu and choose your pdf "printer"

Maybe my question was off...I have a powerpoint presentation, and I'm trying
to save it as a pdf file so that someone can view it using Adobe Acrobat.
When I'm in my Power Point presentation and I go to "save", under "file
type" the option "pdf" is not available in PowerPoint.

I have viewed a Power Point presentation that someone sent to me as a pdf
file, therefore I could view it(and ONLY view it) using my Acrobat. So, now
I have a Power Point presentation, I want to send it to somene as a pdf file
so that they can open it up using Acrobat and ONLY view it. (not make any
changes or anything).

Correct. PowerPoint doesn't save as PDF.

You need one of the programs Chuck mentioned (and there are others) that can
create PDFs. Usually this is done via "printing" to PDF. The program installs
a special printer driver that makes PDF files instead of printed pages.

I don't want to print it though. I want to email it to someone as an
attachment, and I want to email it to them as a pdf file??

I don't want to print it though.

As I mentioned, you print TO a PDF file ... not paper.

The printing process produces a file.

If you want to open and print the file, you can, but you don't have to.
If you want to attach it to an email, you can.
