Saving presentations made using Google Slides as PDF can have several uses, including:
1. Sharing: PDF files are widely accepted and can be easily shared via email, messaging apps, or cloud storage platforms. Saving your Google Slides presentation as a PDF allows you to share it with others who may not have access to Google Slides.
2. Printing: PDFs can be easily printed, making it convenient for users who prefer to have a hard copy of the presentation. When saving your presentation as a PDF, you can choose to include speaker notes or thumbnails, which can be useful for reference purposes.
3. Preservation: PDFs are more resistant to alterations compared to other file formats. By saving your presentation as a PDF, you can ensure that the formatting, layout, and design of your presentation are preserved, and the content remains consistent across different devices.
4. Accessibility: PDFs are accessible and can be opened on almost any device, including smartphones, tablets, and laptops. This makes it easy to view your presentation on the go, without needing to install any additional software.
5. Archiving: Saving your presentation as a PDF can help you create an archive of your work, which can be useful for future reference. You can store your PDF files on a cloud storage platform or a physical hard drive, ensuring that you always have access to your presentation, even if your original file is lost or corrupted.
