PDF presentations: How to present a PDF effectively.

A man gives a professional PDF presentation to a room of people using Adobe Acrobat.

Easily include PDF documents in presentations. Learn how to present PDF files and convert them into Microsoft PowerPoint slideshows.

Learn how to present a PDF in a way that can engage your audience and share your ideas effectively, no matter what tools you have available. You may have to share information from a PDF document when you’re getting ready to give a presentation at work or school. But what’s the best way to display a PDF if you want to keep your audience interested? Read on to learn two ways to give an engaging and eye-catching PDF presentation.

How to present a PDF.

You have a few options for presenting your PDF slideshow. PDF presentation mode is available on most PDF editing software but not necessarily in a PDF viewer. You can also, of course, convert your PDF to a PowerPoint presentation. The simplest way to present your PDF is to share your screen or project the view of your PDF from a free PDF viewer. Check out the instructions for these various methods below.

Option 1: Use PDF presentation mode.

If you use PDF presentation mode, you won’t have to convert your PDF and worry about formatting issues. You will also have preference options as you learn how to put a PDF in presentation mode. Follow these steps:

Open your PDF in Adobe Acrobat .
Select File > Preferences > Full Screen View to select options for your presentation.
Select View > Full Screen.

The options will allow you to decide things like whether you will time your slides and which transitions you want between slides. You can also use a similar process with Preview on your Apple device.

How to present a PDF document

With Adobe Acrobat online services, it’s fast and easy to convert PDFs into PowerPoint presentations. Simply follow these three steps:

Navigate to Acrobat online services and launch the Convert PDF to PowerPoint tool.
Drag and drop your PDF file into the converter or click Select A File to locate it.
Download your presentation once the converter has finished.

You can now open the slideshow as you would any ordinary PowerPoint presentation. And as a bonus, you can edit the text, images, and formatting directly in PowerPoint.

Option 3: Present a PDF using a PDF reader window.

The easiest way to include a PDF file in your presentation is simply by using your PDF reader . Most video call applications let you share your screen and display the PDF to others. If you’re at an in-person meeting, you can also project the PDF reader onto a screen.

To share your screen with your PDF reader in a call, you’ll need to follow these steps:

Open your PDF in your PDF reader, and leave it open.
Begin your video call.
Select the screen-sharing option.
Select the PDF reader as the screen you’d like to share.

Although letting others see your PDF reader may be easy, it isn’t always the most optimal way to give a presentation. It can be slow to scroll through the pages of the PDF file — plus, depending on the orientation, you may also not be able to display an entire page while keeping text at a legible size.

Why create PDF presentations vs. other methods?

PDF slideshows have several advantages. You might be creating a presentation from a PDF as your original document. In that case, there’s no need to complicate your process and convert your PDF into another format. Unlike other presentation methods like PowerPoint, you can present your PDF on any device. PDF presentations also tend to use less storage. Additionally, since one of the main purposes of a PDF is to retain the formatting, you can trust that your fonts and structure will remain stable for your presentation.

What is PDF presentation mode?

PDF presentation mode is the simplest option for presenting a PDF. It doesn’t require converting your file or downloading extra software. It allows you to present your PDF in full screen and use your keys to toggle between pages. You can create transitions between your pages and even time your slides. One limitation of PDF presentation mode is that it doesn’t support videos.

Can I see my notes in PDF presentation mode?

While putting your PDF in full-screen presentation mode shows your slides neatly, it doesn’t show your presenter notes separately on your personal device. If you need to have notes on hand, you can always print them out or give yourself concise notes as reminders on the slides themselves. If you have converted a PowerPoint presentation to a PDF, your notes won’t be lost. They’ll be available for you to look at under Options > Publish > Notes pages.

Tips to help improve your PDF presentation skills.

Presenting in front of a group, large or small, can sometimes feel daunting. Here are some quick tips to improve your PDF presentation skills:

Make your slides visually appealing. Color and images help with visual appeal. Visuals will help keep your audience engaged.
Keep your slides simple. If you stick to one idea per slide, it will be easier for everyone to follow.
Don’t crowd your slides with text. Offer text only to remind your audience of the key points of your presentation. Avoid using full sentences in the slides. Your audience is there to listen to you, not to read your slides.
Rehearse your presentation until it feels natural to give it. It will be easier for your audience to learn if you seem comfortable during your presentation.

More resources on PDFs.

PDF is one of the most relied-upon formats in professional settings, so using it directly for a presentation will be very convenient. Now that you’ve learned how to present a PDF effectively, here are more resources to work with PDFs:

Learn how to get the most out of a presentation appendix .
Learn how to compress a PowerPoint .
Learn how to make a PDF interactive .
You can also convert a PDF to Google Slides and present from there.

Before you begin

We're rolling out a new, more intuitive product experience. If the screen shown here doesn’t match your product interface, select help for your current experience .

The initial view of the PDF depends on how its creator set the document properties. For example, a document may open at a particular page or magnification.

View PDFs in Read mode

When you’re reading a document, you can hide all the toolbars and task panes to maximize the viewing area on your screen.

The basic reading controls, such as page navigation and zoom, appear in a semi-transparent floating toolbar near the bottom of the window.

View PDFs in Full Screen mode

In Full Screen mode, only the document appears; the menu bar, toolbars, task panes, and window controls are hidden. A PDF creator can set a PDF to open in Full Screen mode, or you can set the view yourself. Full Screen mode is often used for presentations, sometimes with automatic page advancement and transitions.

The pointer remains active in Full Screen mode so that you can select links and open notes. There are two ways to advance through a PDF in Full Screen mode. You can use keyboard shortcuts for navigational and magnification commands, and you can set a Full Screen preference to display Full Screen navigation buttons that you select to change pages or exit Full Screen mode.

With the October 2019 release of Acrobat, you can now open the review PDF files in Full Screen mode. It helps keep the focus on the content and the received comments. To switch to Full Screen mode, use the keyboard shortcut - Ctrl + L .

Set the Full Screen navigation bar preference

In the Preferences dialog box under Categories, select Full Screen .
Select Show Navigation Bar, then click OK.

Select View > Full Screen Mode .

Read a document in Full Screen mode

If the Full Screen navigation bar is not shown, you can use keyboard shortcuts to navigate through a PDF.

If you have two monitors installed, the Full Screen mode of a page sometimes appears on only one of the monitors. To page through the document, click the screen displaying the page in Full Screen mode.

Choose View > Full Screen Mode.

To go to the next page, press Enter, Page Down, Down Arrow, or the Right arrow key.

To go to the previous page, press Shift+Enter, Page Up, Up Arrow, or the Left arrow key.

To close Full Screen mode, press Ctrl+L or Esc. (Escape Key Exits must be selected in the Full Screen preferences.)

Retain the current state of tools pane in Acrobat Reader

Follow the steps in the article to retain the current state of the Tools pane in Acrobat Reader .

Display size in Acrobat

You can adjust the display size of your PDF for easier reading as per the device you are using. Go to View > Display Size , and then choose Small , Standard , or Large as required.

Display themes in Acrobat

You can change the overall look and feel of Acrobat by setting the display themes. To choose the theme, go to View > Display Theme , and then select one of the themes below:

System Theme - When you choose System Theme , Acrobat changes the UI as per the OS theme. If the OS theme is changed while Acrobat is running, then Acrobat’s theme also gets updated.
Light Gray - The default theme that Acrobat uses is Light Gray. All the UI elements and the document background appear light gray.
Dark Gray - Setting the theme to Dark Gray improves visual ergonomics by reducing eye strain and improves screen usage in dark environments – all while conserving battery power. The dark theme is now extended to include the top menu, on-page context menu, scroll bar, and the comments pane.

Preferences for viewing PDFs

The Preferences dialog box defines a default page layout and customizes your application in many other ways. For viewing PDFs, examine the preferences options for Documents , Full Screen , General , Page Display , and 3D & Multimedia .

The preferences settings control how the application behaves whenever you use it; they are not associated with any particular PDF document. To access the preferences dialog, choose Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Acrobat / Adobe Acrobat Reader > Preferences (macOS).

If you install any third-party plug-ins, set these preferences using Third-Party Preferences.

Deselect the option to prevent in-product marketing messages from appearing.

Transactional messages, which facilitate the Adobe Online Service, cannot be turned off.

Application Startup

Use Only Certified Plug-Ins: Ensures that only Adobe-certified third-party plug-ins are loaded. The notation Currently in Certified Mode indicates either Yes or No depending on its status.
Check 2D Graphics Accelerator (Windows only ): (Appears only if your computer hardware supports 2D graphics acceleration.) When selected, allows hardware acceleration usage when the first document is opened. When deselected, hardware acceleration usage starts after the first document is opened. This option can slow startup time, so it is deselected by default.

This option is available only when the option Use 2D Graphics Acceleration in the Page Display preferences is selected.

Select As Default PDF Handler (Windows only): Specifies which application, Reader or Acrobat, is used to open PDFs. This setting applies if you have both Acrobat and Reader installed on your computer. In Windows 7 or earlier, a browser uses this setting only if it is using the Adobe plug-in or add-on for viewing PDF files. In Windows 8, this setting controls which application is the default PDF application for your system, including in your browser. Windows 8 prompts you to allow this change before applying it to your system. Once set, Windows 8 also uses the selected PDF application for tasks related to PDF files, such as previewing, displaying thumbnails, and providing file information.
Tell Me If Adobe Acrobat Is Not My Default PDF Application (Windows only): If Acrobat is not set as the default PDF handler, a dialog prompts whether to make Adobe Acrobat the default PDF application whenever you launch Acrobat.

Page Display preferences

Default Layout And Zoom

Page Layout: Sets the page layout used for scrolling when you first open a document. The default setting is Automatic. The Page Layout setting in File > Properties > Initial View overrides this value.
Zoom : Sets the magnification level for PDF documents when they are first opened. The default setting is Automatic. The Magnification setting in File > Properties > Initial View overrides this value.

Two conditions can affect page layout and zoom. 1) Someone has already set an individual PDF to a different initial view in File > Properties. 2) You have the option Restore Last View Settings When Reopening Documents selected in Edit > Preferences > Document category.

Use System Setting: Uses the system settings for monitor resolution.
Custom Resolution: Sets the monitor resolution.
Smooth Text: Specifies the type of text-smoothing to apply.
Smooth Line Art: Applies smoothing to remove abrupt angles in lines.
Smooth Images : Applies smoothing to minimize abrupt changes in images.
Use Local Fonts: Specifies whether the application uses or ignores local fonts installed on your system. When deselected, substitute fonts are used for any font not embedded in the PDF. If a font cannot be substituted, the text appears as bullets, and an error message appears.
Enhance Thin Lines: When selected, clarifies thin lines in the display to make them more visible.
Use Page Cache : Places the next page in a buffer before the current page is viewed to reduce the time required to page through a document.
Use 2D Graphics Acceleration (Windows only): (Appears only if your computer hardware supports 2D graphics acceleration.) Speeds up zooming, scrolling, and redrawing of page content, and speeds the rendering and manipulation of 2D PDF content. This option is selected by default.

If this option isn't available in the Page Display preferences, you may have to update your GPU card driver to enable this hardware feature. Contact your card vendor or computer manufacturer for an updated driver.

Page Content And Information

Show Large Images: Displays large images. If your system is slow to display image-intensive pages, deselect this option.
Use Smooth Zooming (Windows only): When deselected, turns off animation effects, which improves performance.

Show Transparency Grid: Displays the grid behind transparent objects.
Use Logical Page Numbers: Enables the Number Pages command for matching the position of the page in the PDF to the number printed on the page. A page number, followed by the page position in parentheses, appears in the Page Navigation toolbar and in the Go To Page and Print dialog boxes. For example, i (1 of 1) if the printed number of the first page is i. If this option is not selected, pages are numbered with Arabic numbers starting at 1. Selecting this option helps prevent unexpected behavior when clicking Back or Go Back in your web browser.
Always Show Document Page Size: Displays the page measurements beside the horizontal scroll bar.
Use Overprint Preview: Specifies whether Overprint Preview mode is on only for PDF/X files, never on, always on, or set automatically. When set to Automatic, if a document contains overprints, then Overprint Preview mode is activated. The Overprint Preview mode lets you see (onscreen) the effects of ink aliasing in the printed output. For example, a printer or service provider could create an ink alias if a document contains two similar spot colors and only one is required.
Default Transparency Blending Color Space: Sets the default color space, Working RGB or Working CMYK , for transparency blending.

Reference XObjects View Mode

Show Reference XObject Targets: Specifies the type of documents in which reference XObjects can be viewed.
Location Of Referenced Files (Optional): Specifies a location for the referenced documents.

Touch mode for tablet and mobile devices

Touch mode makes it easier to use Acrobat and Acrobat Reader on touch devices. Toolbar buttons, panels, and menus shift apart slightly to accommodate selecting with your fingers. The Touch reading mode optimizes viewing and supports most common gestures. Acrobat and Acrobat Reader automatically switch to Touch mode when on a touch-enabled device. You can change the default preference setting for Touch mode.

Change Touch Mode preference

Choose Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Acrobat / Adobe Acrobat Reader > Preferences ( macOS ).

Under Categories , select General .

In Basic Tools , choose the desired default setting from the Touch Mode menu.

Change the PDF/A viewing mode

PDF/A is an ISO standard for long-term archiving and preservation of electronic documents. Documents you scan to PDF are PDF/A-compliant. You can specify whether you want to view documents in this viewing mode.

When you open a PDF/A compliant document in PDF/A viewing mode, the document is opened in Read mode to prevent modification. A message is displayed in the document message bar. You will be unable to make changes and add annotations to the document. If you turn off PDF/A mode, you can edit the document.

In the Preferences dialog box under Categories , select Documents .

You can switch in or out of PDF/A viewing mode by changing this preference setting.

Display PDFs in Line Weights view

The Line Weights view displays lines with the weights defined in the PDF. When Line Weights view is off, it applies a constant stroke width (one pixel) to lines, regardless of zoom. When you print the document, the stroke prints at the true width.

Choose View > Show/Hide > Rulers & Grids > Line Weights . To turn off Line Weights view, choose View > Show/Hide > Rulers & Grids > Line Weights again.

You cannot turn off Line Weights view when viewing PDFs within a web browser.

Show or hide navigation pane, tools pane, toolbar items and more

While viewing a PDF, you can choose to select the following elements to be displayed in Acrobat from the View > Show/Hide menu:

Page Controls: You can choose to hide the page controls like Fit To Width Scrolling, Fit To One Full Page, floating toolbar and more. Choose View > Show/Hide > Page Controls > Show Page Controls . To hide the floating toolbar , choose View > Show/Hide > Page Controls > Undock.
Menu Bar: To show or hide the menu bar, choose View > Show/Hide > Menu Bar. You can also use the keyboard function key F9 .
Button Labels: Displays the button labels of the selected tool . To show or hide the button labels, choose View > Show/Hide > Button Labels.
Rulers & Grids: Use grids to accurately line up text and objects in a document. To view or hide the grid, choose View > Show/Hide > Rulers & Grids > Grid . A check mark appears next to the command name when the grid is displayed. For more information, see Grids, guides, and measurements in PDFs .
Cursor Coordinates: The Cursor Coordinates show the coordinate position of the pointer within the document pane. To view x and y coordinates, choose View > Show/Hide > Cursor Coordinates . For more information, see View Cursor Coordinates .

Compare a revised PDF to an earlier version (Acrobat Pro)

Use the Compare Files feature to show the differences between two versions of a PDF. You can customize many options for displaying the compare results. For more information, see Compare two versions of a PDF file .

How to Convert PDF to PPT

How To Present a PDF Like a PowerPoint

October 9, 2023 by Hung Nguyen

Learn to present a PDF in full-screen mode like you would a PPT file or convert it to PPT for easy presenting.

You can present a PDF as if it were a PowerPoint presentation in two ways. You can either open a PDF and view the content in full screen or save the file as a PowerPoint. If you choose the latter, you can then open the file in Microsoft PowerPoint and present it as you usually would. Check out the full instructions for both methods below.

How To Present a PDF Like a PowerPoint Presentation

Open your pdf document with your pdf reader., click “view” and choose “enter full screen” or “slideshow.”, present as you usually would and navigate using the arrow keys., press the “esc” (escape) key to exit the slideshow when finished..

There are a few limitations to presenting PDF files like this: some media file types, such as animated GIF images, won’t work and will remain static in your presentation. You also can’t add speaker notes to PDF presentations. While we believe PDF is quite versatile, in this case, it might be better to convert the PDF to PPT format using our free converter.

How To Change a PDF to PPT To Present

Go to the PDF to PPT converter.
Drag and drop your PDF.
Wait for the tool to convert it to PPT.
Click “Download,” and you’re done.

Convert your PDF to PPT format in a heartbeat

Once you have the PPT file open, you can present the data as you would normally. If you have an older version of Microsoft Office, you’ll have to click the “Slide Show” tab and choose “Play from Start” to start a presentation.

While you have a PowerPoint file open, you can also edit the content as you’d like. Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is available within the PDF to PPT tool, where we’ll pluck the content of each PDF into an editable PPT file for your convenience. And while you’re on our blog, check out how to insert a PDF into a PowerPoint — learning new PDF and PPT-related tricks is always good!

We offer the most popular online PDF to PPT converter. A big part of our popularity comes from our simple and intuitive drag-and-drop interface as well as our range of practical tools to convert, edit, sign, protect, and lock PDFs and other documents. Of course, we also offer a tool to reverse this whole process and turn PPT back into PDF.

Easy to Convert and Present

Regardless of the PDF reader, from Adobe Acrobat/Adobe Reader to Preview, or even on your web browser, you should be able to present PDF like a PowerPoint with ease. If you want the extra benefits of presenting using PowerPoint, our tool is free to use, without the need t download software.

We hope this guide could be of help, and good luck with all of your future presentations!

How to Download a Powerpoint as a PDF

Easy to use online converter to save and download PowerPoint presentations in PDF format. No registration, no watermark, no installation.

How to View a PDF in PowerPoint: A Step-by-Step Guide

Viewing a PDF in PowerPoint is a simple process that can be accomplished in a few steps. Firstly, you’ll need to have both Adobe Acrobat and PowerPoint installed on your computer. Once you have both programs open, you’ll be able to import your PDF into PowerPoint as an object, allowing you to view and present it within your PowerPoint slides.

After completing this process, your PDF will appear as an image within your PowerPoint presentation. You can then resize, move, and format it just like any other image in your slides.

Introduction

Have you ever been in a situation where you needed to present a PDF in a meeting or a class, but all you had was PowerPoint? Or maybe you’re trying to incorporate a PDF document into your PowerPoint presentation without having to switch between applications during your presentation. Whatever the reason, understanding how to view a PDF in PowerPoint can save you time and make your presentation more seamless.

This topic is particularly important for professionals and students who often work with both PDFs and PowerPoint presentations. Whether you’re sharing research findings, compiling a report, or teaching a class, integrating PDFs directly into PowerPoint can enhance your presentation and make it more interactive. So, let’s dive into the step-by-step tutorial on how to get this done efficiently and effectively.

Step by Step Tutorial: Viewing a PDF in PowerPoint

Before we begin, ensure you have both PowerPoint and Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer as these will be required.

Step 1: Open PowerPoint

Open your PowerPoint presentation or create a new one where you want to view the PDF.

In this step, you should open the PowerPoint presentation you want to work with. If you don’t have one already, you can create a new one.

Step 2: Insert Object

Go to the “Insert” tab, click on “Object” in the Text group and select “Create from file.”

By clicking on “Object,” you’re telling PowerPoint that you want to add an object (in this case, a PDF) from a file saved on your computer.

Step 3: Browse for the PDF

Click on “Browse” to find and select the PDF file you want to insert into PowerPoint.

Locate the PDF file you wish to use in your presentation and select it. Make sure it’s the correct version of the document you want to present.

Step 4: Insert and Resize

Click “OK” to insert the PDF into your slide and resize it as needed.

Once the PDF is inserted, it will appear as an image. You can click and drag the corners to resize it so it fits nicely within your slide.

Additional Information

When working with PDFs in PowerPoint, it’s essential to ensure that the content within the PDF is legible and fits well within the slide. If the PDF has multiple pages, you may need to insert each page individually, which can be time-consuming. It’s also worth noting that while the PDF will look like an image, you won’t be able to edit the text or graphics within it directly in PowerPoint.

Another useful tip is to use the ‘Link’ option when inserting the PDF. This will create a link to the PDF file rather than embed it, which can help keep your PowerPoint file size down. However, this means you’ll need to ensure that the linked PDF file is also accessible during your presentation.

Remember to test your presentation before the actual event to ensure that the PDF displays correctly and that you’re familiar with navigating between the PDF and your other slides.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can i insert a multi-page pdf into powerpoint.

Yes, you can insert a multi-page PDF, but each page will need to be inserted as a separate object.

Will inserting a PDF into PowerPoint affect the presentation’s quality?

No, inserting a PDF should not affect the quality of your presentation.

Can I edit the PDF once it’s inserted into PowerPoint?

No, you cannot edit the PDF content within PowerPoint; it will act as an image.

What if I cannot find the ‘Insert Object’ option?

Make sure you’re in the ‘Insert’ tab in PowerPoint; if you still can’t find it, your version of PowerPoint may be different, and you can search for help within the application.

Can I hyperlink text within the inserted PDF?

No, hyperlinks within the PDF will not be functional when viewing it in PowerPoint.

Viewing a PDF in PowerPoint can be incredibly useful for a variety of presentations. Whether you’re a student, educator, or professional, incorporating PDFs into your slides can make your information more accessible and your presentation more dynamic.

With the steps outlined in this guide, you’ll be able to seamlessly integrate PDFs into your PowerPoint slides. Remember, practice makes perfect. Be sure to test out your presentation beforehand to ensure everything runs smoothly. Happy presenting!

Presentation mode for PDF documents serves the purpose of enhancing the viewing and delivery experience during presentations or public speaking engagements. It is a feature that allows PDF files to be displayed in a full-screen, immersive manner, enabling presenters to engage their audience more effectively and deliver their content with impact. Whether it's a business meeting, educational seminar, or conference, presentation mode offers several benefits that contribute to a seamless and professional presentation experience.

Right now, we’re offering an intuitive workflow for the Presentation Mode that has two entry points:

Facetime, Zoom, conference call, or a screen recording: once you start the call or the recording, a Start button will appear in the upper left corner of the screen. Tap the Start button in order to enter Presentation mode.
External monitor connected physically or Airplay sharing: once you’re connected, or you’ve shared the screen via Airplay, the Start button appears in the same manner as in the previous case.

Both entry points offer a new, redesigned experience with several benefits:

In the first case, you get a Pen Tool in the left part of the screen, and it has six options - the first pen works as our Pointer tool, and it disappears in a few seconds. Other pens are permanent, and you can change the colors for them under Pen Tool in Annotate mode.

To stop the Presentation mode, simply tap the cross button.

In the second case, you see your file right away as if in screen mirroring mode, and you have three buttons once you tap Start: Freeze, Focus and Pointer.

Freeze button allows you to get a screenshot of the PDF file you’re presenting. Focus button offers the ability to highlight the selected area of the document if you need to emphasize some part of it. Pointer button enables a pen with marks that disappear in a few seconds.

The information in the article is confusing or wrong.
I don’t like the described feature or policy.
There isn’t information I was looking for.

It’s optional, but it will help us improve further 🙂

Share this article, how to present a pdf slideshow easily.

When delivering a significant speech or presentation, we want to make it impressive and attention-grabbing. One indispensable partner is an interactive PowerPoint slideshow. However, during file transfer and sharing, the formatting of the PowerPoint document won’t be retained as expected owning to compatibility. On that condition, we may need to make a PDF slideshow. So, the question arises: how do we present a PDF slideshow ?

How to Present PDF as Slideshow

The PDF presentation mode is a common view mode among those who need to make presentations a lot. If a PDF reader can display a PDF in slideshow mode, then the trouble of saving PowerPoint as a PDF will be saved. SwifDoo PDF is an extremely useful PDF viewer that includes a PDF presentation mode. In this section, we explore how to present a PDF like a PowerPoint :

This is a Microsoft-like and lightweight PDF viewer for Windows. With an intuitive interface, no extra time is invested in learning how to navigate the software. Akin to other PDF readers on the market, SwifDoo PDF provides multiple view modes: single page, continuous, facing, and continuous facing. On top of these four basic view modes, SwifDoo PDF is equipped with more unique features: simple mode, fullscreen, and slideshow.

Check out how to make full use of this PDF presenter:

Step 1: Download and install SwifDoo PDF

Navigate to the SwifDoo PDF official website to access the latest installation pack. In less than a minute, SwifDoo PDF is successfully installed on your PC. Then launch the installer. Please make sure the destination folder has enough space. When completed, start the PDF presenter.

When you’ve entered the slideshow mode, deliver your killer presentation as if you were using PowerPoint. Everything is under your control by scrolling down the mouse or clicking on the Down or Right keys on your keyboard.

Tips: The full-screen mode is a bit distinguished from the PDF slideshow mode. The former is to present the view on the whole screen, while the latter mode is to display the PDF like a PPT, with blank areas if the original PDF is vertically placed (as shown in the above picture).

How to Convert a PDF to a PPT Slideshow

SwifDoo PDF is not only a PDF presenter as described above, but it is also a multi-faceted PDF converter with the ability to save PDF as PowerPoint.

How to Open/Insert PDF in PowerPoint for Free

Some users may wonder if it is possible to open a PDF as a PowerPoint presentation. The primary purpose is to insert a PDF document into a PPT slideshow without any external PDF presenter. The answer is positive. We have a handful of methods to add a PDF to a PPT document, among which we handpick the easiest way, which is to insert a PDF into a PowerPoint document as an object:

Step 1: Prepare a PDF slideshow and launch MS PowerPoint

The precondition is that you’ve made a PDF file for presentation use. Once ready, open the Microsoft PowerPoint software.

Step 2: Move to the Insert tab

Click on the Object button, choose Create from file in the Insert Object dialogue box, and press the Browse button to add a PDF to the current PowerPoint.

This is the third way to insert a PDF into a PowerPoint document. Notably, this approach has an apparent deficiency: the PPT file only displays the first page of the PDF. Alternatively, tick the “Display as icon” box to present the entire PDF document in this PPT.

How to insert a pdf in google slides.

Display your PDF's content in your presentations!

Quick Links

Method 1: insert pdf pages as images in google slides, method 2: link to your pdf in google slides, key takeaways.

To add a PDF in Google Slides, convert your PDF pages to images and use Insert > Image > Upload From Computer to add those images to your slides. Alternatively, upload your PDF to a cloud drive and use Insert > Link to add a link to your PDF.

Google Slides doesn't allow you to embed PDFs in your presentations, but there are a couple of workarounds to display your PDF content in your slides. You can use your PDF pages as images, or upload your PDF somewhere online and link to it from your slides. Here's how to use both methods.

Related: 7 Google Slides Features for Eye-Catching Presentations

One way to display your PDF's content in your Google Slides presentation is by converting each PDF page to an image format (say JPG ), and adding that image to your slides .

We've already written guides on converting PDF to JPG on both Windows and Mac systems. Follow the steps in those guides to get an image file for each page of your PDF. Regardless of which platform you use, though, Adobe's PDF-to-JPG conversion tool will work well.

Once you've done that, you can begin editing your presentation by launching your preferred desktop web browser, accessing Google Slides , and opening your presentation.

On the presentation page, in the left sidebar, click the slide in which you want to add a PDF page. Then, from Google Slides' menu bar at the top, choose Insert > Image > Upload From Computer.

On the "Open" window, access the folder containing your PDF pages as images, and double-click an image to add it to your slide .

In your selected slide, you'll see your image (which comes from a page in your PDF file). You can reposition the image by dragging it around the slide, and you can resize it by dragging the handlers around it.

Follow the above steps for each PDF page you want to add to your presentation, and you'll be all set.

Another way to add your PDF in your Google Slides presentation is to upload your PDF somewhere online and then link to it in your slide . However, this won't make the PDF readable directly in your slideshow. Instead, when you're presenting your slideshow and want to access the PDF, you'll click the link to the PDF and the file will open.

To upload your PDF, you have several cloud storage options available. But since you're already using Google Slides, it makes sense to use Google Drive as your PDF storage provider (though you're free to choose any other provider if you want). We'll go for Google Drive in this guide.

To upload your PDF file, first, open your desktop web browser and launch the Google Drive website . Sign in to your account, then in the left sidebar, click New > File Upload.

In the window that opens, navigate to your PDF file and double-click it. Once your file is uploaded, right-click it and choose "Get Link."

In the window that opens, at the bottom, click "Copy Link."

You now have your PDF's shareable link copied to your clipboard. You'll add this link to an item in your presentation.

To do that, access your Google Slides presentation. Then, open the slide where you want to add the link for your PDF. On the slide, choose an image or text you want to add a link to.

While your item is selected, from Google Slides' menu bar, choose Insert > Link.

In the open box, right-click and select "Paste." Then, choose "Apply."

And you've successfully added a link to your PDF file in your slide. Clicking this link will open your PDF.

And you're all set.

Save PowerPoint presentations as PDF files

When you save presentation as a PDF file it freezes the formatting and layout. People can view the slides even if they don’t have PowerPoint, but they can’t make changes to it.

Select File > Export .

Click Create PDF/XPS Document , then click Create PDF/XPS .

In the Publish as PDF or XPS dialog box, choose a location to save the file to. If you want it to have a different name, enter it in the File name box.

Optionally, if you want to change what the final PDF file is like, do any of the following:

At Optimize for , select Standard for higher quality (for example, if you want to print it). Select Minimum size to make the file smaller (for example, if you want to send it as an e-mail attachment).

Click Options to set how the presentation will appear as a PDF. Here are some of the available options:

To save the current slide only as a PDF, under Range , select Current slide .

To save specific slides as PDF, in Slides(s) , enter the slide number range in From and To boxes.

If you don't want to save slides, but instead only save comments, handouts, or Outline view, under Publish what , select an appropriate option. You can also specify the number of slides to appear in Slides per page dropdown box, and modify the order ( Horizontal or Vertical ).

You can choose to include frame slides, hidden slides, comments, ink, non-printing information such as Document properties or Document structure tags, in your PDF by selecting the appropriate options.

Click Publish .

There are two ways to make your PowerPoint for macOS presentation a PDF.

You can save your presentation as a PDF in File > Save As .

You can export your presentation as a PDF file by going to File > Export .

Both methods do the same thing, so you can choose whichever you're more familiar with when you want to create a PDF version of your presentation.

Method 1: Save your presentation as a PDF

Select File > Save As .

Choose the location where you'd like to save your PDF, and then in the File Format menu, choose PDF.

Shows the PDF option in the File Formats list in the Save As dialog in PowerPoint 2016 for Mac.

Method 2: Export your presentation as a PDF

In the File Format menu, choose PDF.

Note: If you’d like to have more options to customize PDF conversions of presentations in PowerPoint for macOS, let us know by providing us feedback. See How do I give feedback on Microsoft Office? for more information.

Set the print quality of the PDF

Features such as saving notes, saving slides as handouts, including hidden slides in the PDF, or setting the PDF to a smaller file size aren't available. However, you can set the print quality of a PDF to a higher or lower standard.

Tip: PowerPoint for macOS doesn't preserve hyperlinks in PDFs but if you save your presentation to OneDrive you can open it in PowerPoint for the web and download as PDF from there. PDF files generated from PowerPoint for the web preserve hyperlinks, are accessible, and also tend to have a smaller file size.

You can set the print quality of the PDF to High , Medium , or Low —depending on your need. By default, the print quality is set to High—which is the optimal choice for printing a PDF. Follow these instructions to set the print quality of the PDF:

Click the PowerPoint menu > Preferences .

In the PowerPoint Preferences dialog box, click General .

Under Print Quality (Paper/PDF) , set the Desired Quality to an option of your choice.

Set the print quality of the PDF to High, Medium or Low

Click the File tab, click Download As , and then click Download as PDF . (The file is converted to PDF, and then a dialog box tells you that it is ready to download.

Click Download . A message bar appears to show you that the downloaded PDF file is ready to save to your computer. (The exact message varies depending on the web browser you're using.)

Click Save As , and then a dialog box appears that allows you to specify where to save the file on your computer.

Display pdf in presentation mode on a chromebook?

Is there any way to display a pdf in fullscreen presentation mode on a chromebook? I have crouton installed but I want to give a presentation without boot into crouton. I found one chrome extension that almost worked, but it must not have used the gpu or something to render the pdf---it was too slow to look good during a presentation for complex pdf slides.

The three dots button in the built-in browser editor has an option to Present, which brings up your PDF full screen. If you are trying to present the mentioned PDF in Gallery (that is, if you opened it in Files instead of off a PDF link within Chrome), this option doesn't show up until you select "Open in PDF editor".

This PDF viewer allows for presentation mode. I believe it's the same PDF viewer used in Firefox. Be sure to let it be able to access file URLs (through chrome://extensions ) if you are presenting a local file.

Alternatively, you can try using the default PDF viewer. Select 'Fit to page' (using the lower left button). Afterwards, you can use the left and right keys on your keyboard to navigate slides. Unfortunately, the default PDF viewer doesn't allow one to disable scrolling, but it may be worth a try.

Microsoft Edge's upcoming PDF feature could be perfect for presenting documents

A new feature for Microsoft Edge will make it easy to view and present PDFs without any distractions.

What you need to know

Microsoft Edge may soon support a full screen mode for viewing PDFs.
The full screen mode hides the PDF reader toolbar, which could be useful during presentations.
PDF full screen mode automatically fits content to the size of a screen and allows you to scroll through documents.

Microsoft is working on a full screen mode for viewing PDFs in its Edge browser. The feature was spotted by Leo Varela, who shared screenshots of the functionality on Reddit . The full screen mode is available through Edge Canary but is part of a controlled rollout. That means that even if you are on the latest build of Edge Canary, you may not be able to try out the feature.

Edge already has an option to view any PDF or website in full screen mode but doing so still shows the PDF reader toolbar. The new PDF full screen mode hides the toolbar and automatically fits the document to fill the screen. An option to view two pages will also be available.

While hiding the toolbar could be used when just browsing PDFs, the mode is likely designed with presentations in mind. If you are sharing your screen in a virtual call or meeting, PDF full screen mode lays out a document in a way that's easy to view without distraction.

Varela notes that the entry on the Edge roadmap titled "Page scrolling on PDF documents" may refer to the new PDF full screen mode. That feature is marked in development with a planned release date of Q1 2022, which would line up with the option being in testing now.

An upcoming feature for Microsoft Edge will allow you to view PDFs in a full screen mode that hides the toolbar.

A more structured income statement

MPMs – Disclosed and subject to audit

Greater disaggregation of information

Next steps

The way companies communicate their financial performance is set to change.

Responding to investor calls for more relevant information, IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements 1 will enable companies to tell their story better through their financial statements. Investors will also benefit from greater consistency of presentation in the income and cash flow statements, and more disaggregated information.

So what does this mean for companies’ financial reporting? Essentially, companies’ net profit will not change. What will change is how they present their results on the face of the income statement and disclose information in the notes to the financial statements. This includes disclosure of certain ‘non-GAAP’ measures – management performance measures (MPMs) – which will now form part of the audited financial statements.

IFRS 18 marks a step towards more connected reporting. Financial statements that include relevant and consistent information will afford users better information on companies’ financial performance.

IFRS 18 brings three categories of income and expenses, two income statement subtotals and one single note on management performance measures. These, combined with enhanced disaggregation guidance, set the stage for better and more consistent information for users – and will affect all companies.

Gabriela Kegalj KPMG global IFRS presentation leader

Under current IFRS ® Accounting Standards, companies use different formats to present their results, making it difficult for investors to compare financial performance across companies.

IFRS 18 promotes a more structured income statement, as set out below. In particular, it introduces a newly defined ‘operating profit’ subtotal and a requirement for all income and expenses to be allocated between three new distinct categories based on a company’s main business activities.

All companies are required to report the newly defined ‘operating profit’ subtotal – an important measure for investors’ understanding of a company’s operating results – i.e. investing and financing activities are specifically excluded. This means that the results of equity-accounted investees are no longer part of operating profit and are presented in the ‘investing’ category.

IFRS 18 also requires companies to analyse their operating expenses directly on the face of the income statement – either by nature, by function or using a mixed presentation. Under the new standard, this presentation provides a ‘useful structured summary’ of those expenses. If any items are presented by function on the face of the income statement (e.g. cost of sales), then a company provides more detailed disclosures about their nature.

Companies often use ‘non-GAAP’ information to explain their financial performance because it allows them to tell their own story and provides investors with useful insight into a company’s performance.

IFRS 18 now requires some of these ‘non-GAAP’ measures to be reported in the financial statements. It introduces a narrow definition for MPMs 2 , requiring them to be:

a subtotal of income and expenses;
used in public communications outside the financial statements; and
reflective of management’s view of financial performance.

For each MPM presented, companies will need to explain in a single note to the financial statements why the measure provides useful information, how it is calculated and reconcile it to an amount determined under IFRS Accounting Standards.

To provide investors with better insight into financial performance, the new standard includes enhanced guidance on how companies group information in the financial statements. This includes guidance on whether information is included in the primary financial statements or is further disaggregated in the notes.

Companies are discouraged from labelling items as ‘other’ and will now be required to disclose more information if they continue to do so.

Now is the time to get ready to report under the new standard, which is effective from 1 January 2027 and applies retrospectively. It is available for early adoption.

Assess the impacts on your financial statements.
Communicate the impacts with investors.
Consider how the new requirements impact financial reporting systems and processes.
Monitor any changes in the local reporting landscape.

Our high-level guide, available shortly, will help you understand the new accounting standard and assess the impacts for your company. And look out for our First Impressions publication, which will provide more information on the new standard, including our detailed insight and illustrative examples.

1 IFRS 18 replaces IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements .

2 IFRS 18 defines management performance measures (MPMs); these measures are currently commonly known as non-GAAP measures, alternative performance measures (APMs) or key performance indicators (KPIs).
