Part 3. Troubleshooting on Converting PowerPoint to PDF Directly on MS PowerPoint

Despite the effectiveness of the iSkysoft programs in PDF creation, some computer users still prefer the direct conversion of the files on MS PowerPoint, a process that may result in the following errors:

1. The PDF files created in this manner, when printed, may differ from the original documents hence creating confusion. This problem can be avoided by using the iSkysoft PDF Creator program whose printed copies are an exact replica of the original document.

2. The graphics or images present in the PowerPoint files may not appear in the PDF files created by direct conversion on MS PowerPoint. The user can solve this problem by either using the original PowerPoint file which has all the content, or by using the iSkysoft PDF Creator program.

3. The direct conversion of PowerPoint files to PDF on MS PowerPoint may alter the format of the document. The position of the text may shift hence making the document appear confused. This problem can be solved by using the iSkysoft PDF Creator program.

4. The resulting PDF file may be of lower quality as a result of the direct conversion of the PowerPoint file. The iSkysoft PDF Creator program solves this problem by generating high quality PDF files.

5. Direct conversion of PowerPoint to PDF on MS PowerPoint does not allow one to convert multiple PowerPoint files simultaneously. The conversion of a large number of files therefore becomes very time consuming; a problem solved by the iSkysoft PDF Creator program which allows one to convert multiple files simultaneously.

The iSkysoft PDF Creator program is therefore the most effective and efficient for converting PowerPoint files into PDF.
