How do you convert an animated PowerPoint to a PDF?

PDF files don't handle any kind of animation, and you can show only one representation of a PowerPoint slide per PDF page. Keep in mind that PDFs are portable data format, which means they don't follow the rules of any particular software. In essence, a PDF is a screen representation of a paper print-out. You would not expect animation on a paper print-out, so don't expect them in a PDF either.

If you want your audience to see the animations, you will need to provide them with the PowerPoint deck or save the PPT as a video.

If you need a PDF version of a highly animated PowerPoint deck, you will need to create a copy of the PPT and let each slide display only (and all) the elements that you want to show on the PDF. Then save as PDF (or print to your PDF printer).

If you want to be able to edit your PDF file once you have created it from your PPT file, then you will need to use Hivimoore PDFelement - PDF Editor for the conversion.
