There are several purposes for saving a PowerPoint presentation as a PDF:
1. Portability: PDF is a widely recognized format that can be easily viewed on any device, regardless of the operating system or software used. Saving a PowerPoint presentation as a PDF ensures that the presentation can be easily shared with others, even if they don't have PowerPoint installed.
2. Formatting: Saving PowerPoint presentations as PDF ensures that the formatting of the presentations remains intact, regardless of the device or software used to view it. This is especially useful when sharing a presentation with someone who may not have the same fonts or graphics installed on their device.
3. Security: Saving a PowerPoint presentation as a PDF can be useful if you want to prevent others from editing or changing the content of the presentation. PDFs can be password-protected and encrypted, making them more secure than PowerPoint files.
4. Printing: Saving a PowerPoint presentation as a PDF can be useful if you want to print the presentation, as PDFs are generally better suited for printing than PowerPoint files. PDFs can be printed at high resolution and are more likely to print accurately across different devices and printers.
To save a PowerPoint presentation as a PDF, follow these steps:
1. Open the PowerPoint presentation you want to save as a PDF.

7. If you want to include comments or markups in the PDF file, check the "Document properties" box and select the appropriate options.
8. Click the "Publish" button to save the PowerPoint presentation as a PDF file.
Your PowerPoint presentation is now saved as a PDF file that can be easily shared and viewed on any device without the need for PowerPoint software.
