Adobe Acrobat



Hi guys!

My first post of the year, I’ve got something a little banal but something that you might see pop up from time to time when people have issues printing. I had a student drop by asking whether they could convert a PDF file to powerpoint (their professor had saved the powerpoint that they were presenting in class as pages within a single PDF, and the student wanted to print it out so that they could leave room to take notes.) 

We tried to convert the file using a tutorial online, but when that failed we just adjusted the print settings to print them with room to spare (we did landscape, multiple per page, and 1 by 3- it centered a column of 3 pages on the sheet. While this isn’t optimal, it gave the student room to take notes.)

This reminded me that a ton of problems that can pop up can be solved simply using the print settings- it can be an quick first try when fixing formatting problems.
