Do you know that you could turn your powerpoint presentation to PDF in Office 2010 and 2007? Yes, this can be accomplished without using any third party tool!

Microsoft Powerpoint is a great tool for creating impressive slides with great fonts and images.Powerpoint presentations are usually made with a lot of graphics, pictures, photos and images, to reinforce the information that the presenter is presenting. A good powerpoint presenter usually shares the powerpoint presentation with his audience, a few days before the actual presentation. This gives the audience a high level idea of what will happen during the presentation session and this would also make the session more interactive.

The presenter could choose to share a PDF document of the powerpoint presentation, as PDF is a great way to share documents by email or any other means, and the content cannot be easily changed!

It is easy to convert ppt to pdf in office 2010 and 2007. Moreover, the PDF copy of the powerpoint preserves the fonts, images and the formatting! The PDF documents would also look the same on most computers.

How to convert powerpoint (PPT) to PDF?

In powerpoint 2010, click File >> Save & Send >> Create PDF/XPS document.

You could also optimize the PDF file for publishing online and printing, by choosing "Standard" or "Minimum Size" options, while saving the PDF.

That is it!!!

For powerpoint 2007, a microsoft add-in was released to publish ppt as pdf. After installing the add-in, you need to open a presentation, Click on the Office button in the top left corner of the PowerPoint 2007 screen, choose "Save as" and click on PDF or XPS in the pop-up menu.You will then be presented with a "Publish as PDF or XPS" dialog box. You then have to specify a location to save the converted pdf file.

While powerpoint is a great tool to create impressive diagrams, PDF is a great way to share content as it reduces the file size considerably.Convert ppt to pdf and share powerpoint presentations with ease.

Catan app adds Seafarers expansion with in-app purchase

Posted: 25 Mar 2011 10:24 AM PDT

The great Catan iOS game has added in its first expansion, available via an in-app purchase, and it’s based on the Seafarers of Catan expansion from the original German board game. The expansion introduces ships and shipping routes to the kingdom-building simulation, and it includes 10 different scenarios to build ships in, as well as pirates, a Gold River tile and some extra victory cards with different bonuses.

The expansion content is US$3.99 inside the app, but even if you don’t want to shell out the extra four bucks, one of the scenarios is included, so you can at least see how it changes the game. The Catan app itself has been critically acclaimed, and I really like this model of releasing content — it seems like a nice solid way of both making sure that content updates are significant improvements to an app, as well as allowing developers to get their own reward for releasing that content. Hopefully we’ll see some more apps, outside of the board game model, take this approach in the future.
