How To Convert Ppt To Pdf With Gif Animation

From Animated PPT to Animated PDF

From time to time I need to present some content in-front of the audience, of course in form of the presentation with some slides helping me. Despite I'm not a huge fan of animations, they can be actually helpful in delivering the ideas during a talk. Especially, animations within the presentations are extremely helpful when the content of the slide should be delivered footstep-by-step.

It'southward not a clandestine that immediately afterward a talk, people who attended the talk, most likely are going to forget about of the content. Equally one of the possible solutions, the presenter can provide people with presentation by the end of it. And unusually, to be it more "interoperable" and "system independent" the format of the distribution should be PDF and not TeX or PPT.

I my particular example, I need some solution to convert PPT presentations with animations into PDF. I started to search for a solution for the problem "How the MS Ability Point (PPT or PPTX) slides can be exported to the PDF with animations", and found following solutions:

PPspliT is a PowerPoint add-in that splits animation effects into different slides
Neil Mitchell'due south VBA Script for PowerPoint -> PDF (Part 1)

The solution with VBA scripts was the best suiting my needs. Hither are the steps (I used 2013 version):

Open your MS Power Betoken presentation and navigate to the "View" panel
Click on Macros
Within the Macros console blazon some dummy name (like "test") and click on "Create"
- The IDE (integrated development environment) Microsoft Visual Bones For Awarding will be opened
- NOTE - there is besides an alternative how to kickoff IDE, use hot keys "Ctl + F11"
Inside the opened IDE replace text with the code from here and salve it
On the "Saving Dialog" windows click yeah and shut IDE
Become to your opened Power Signal presentation, click on "Macros" and run "AddElements"
At present you lot tin can notice that the all original slides were "dimmed", and new slides were added. In newly created slides, the original slides with animations are duplicated.
- NOTE Even if the original elements within the MS Power Point presentation located in one unmarried block are appeared 1 by one during the animation, after transformation to multiple slides with aid of VBA script, the block with animations will announced only one every bit a whole, to overcome this issues, the elements that are animated should be separated into unlike blocks
