If your PowerPoint slides are cut off after PDF export, the cause is usually a mismatch between slide size, printable page area, scaling, or the conversion method. Use this guide to find and fix the problem before sharing or printing your PDF.
If your PowerPoint fonts change in PDF, the cause is usually an unavailable font, font substitution, missing embedding, or a layout issue. Use this practical checklist to fix the presentation and verify the exported file.
PDF files preserve the appearance of PowerPoint slides, but they generally do not preserve clickable animations, transitions, or timed effects. Learn what to expect and which format to use instead.
