Embedding a PDF
If I have a number of high res PDF's whats the best way of importing them into power point whilst keeping the file size down. At the moment my ppt docs can be as big as 150MB.
For upcoming training course dates see: Pricing & availability
RE: Embedding a PDF
Hi Rebecca
Thank you for your question. Is your presentations still quite large before the PDFs are added? If so you may be able to compress any images to make the initial file size more acceptable.
You can do this by clicking on an image then under Picture Tools, on the Format tab, in the Adjust group, click Compress Pictures then click Options, and then under Target Output, click the resolution that you want.
If you have to save your 2007 version presentation to 2003 format then the file size will increase to cope with recreating 2007 features in a way that PowerPoint 2003 can handle.
You can find some more check-lists here

Finally it may be possible to compress the PDF files you are working with. This is done outside of PowerPoint. Check the software used to making the PDFs as it may have an option to make compressed PDF files.
I hope this helps - do let us know if you have any further questions.
Kind regards,
Andrew
