powerpoint and pdf format

davidche SG

Hello everytime i download my school notes from the school website, the presentation is always in pdf format, as in the slides are directly like mounted onto the white paper.

IS there anyway i can change the pdf format to ppt format because i need to edit the presentation to suit my style for printing. (the background is all purple in colour and it watstes ink)

I think the purple background was there so that people cannot reproduce it via photocopy.

There are softwares that can break PDF files, but again, you'd need to buy them (or get them via the other means).

How about just copying the text and pasting them on another software - drag and highlight, and then copy?

Or you can just ask the lecturer to change it to without background so that you can print it out… A lot of students will thank you for that

acrobat professional cs3?
photoshop cs3?
Laughing both are out of a student's reach

I beg to differ, i am a student.

Chin Eng SG

why do you beg to differ? those software are out of your reach most definitely. Some more their new security measures are quite hard to crack.

Adobe Acrobat Professional - not all students will have, unless you are doing research work.

Adobe Photoshop CS3 - students may have, if schools have purchased and want students to upgrade to it. Otherwise, most will be using CS2.

And you know you can set your printer to print in black and white.
