Do you want to export your Powerpoint slides into a PDF before sharing it with others? Saving a PowerPoint presentation as a PDF has its pros and cons. The biggest advantage is that recipients won’t be able to edit your slides, and also that you can embed fonts easily. An even better advantage is that you may use PDFs as a substitute for creating drafts or finished slides, rather than using printouts, thus saving so much paper. Disadvantages include that you cannot be entirely multimedia-friendly, because it’s not easy or simple to end up with animated PDFs, or even create PDFs with audio and video clips. Whatever your thoughts may be, PowerPoint makes it very easy to create PDFs.

I was sitting in my office overlooking the Docks in Gloucester in the UK. It was winter and freezing cold. The water in the docks was frozen, and the seagulls were skating across the ice. My telephone rang. The voice at the other end of the phone was breathless and sounded in a panic.
“Marcus,” he said. “I need your help – we have to save a life.”
That was my introduction to Snowy the chicken and the start of a nine-month publicity campaign.
If you are giving a talk, you need to immediately capture the attention of your audience. You want to grip them, arouse their interest, and get them involved from the very start. I could have started the above talk by explaining that I was working as the Head of Public Relations for Gloucester City Council and that I was going to give them a talk about how to run a publicity campaign and keep it going for nine months.
