I'm using Microsoft PowerPoint 2011 on a Mac. When I use 'Save As.' And choose PDF format, I would like a PDF that has all the slides except for slides marked as Hidden in my slide deck. Update July 1, 2011: Dear users of PowerPoint 2010 and all users of PowerPoint on Mac OSX, due to popular demand, I have created a new post taking into account the limitations of newer versions of PowerPoint. Please refer to my new post on. Users of PowerPoint 2003 and 2007 may use the techniques outlined below. --------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- Not many people know that you can create journal quality, 300dpi,.tif images in PowerPoint. Well, you can. By default, PowerPoint compresses images and saves them at 96dpi. For most users, this isn't a big deal, but if you are interested in printing the contents of your slides, for example, or as a figure in an academic journal, 96dpi isn't going to cut it. Is an acronym for dots per inch, and is a measure of printing resolution. Generally speaking, the higher the dpi, the better the printing will come out. Changing the dpi setting in PowerPoint The trick to changing PowerPoint's dpi setting, is that you do not actually change it in PowerPoint. Select Run from the Start menu. Type regedit into the Run box, and then click OK. Once the Registry Editor has opened, navigate your way to the registry key for PowerPoint. This will depend on which version of PowerPoint you are using. PowerPoint 2003: HKEY_CURRENT_USER Software Microsoft Office 11.0 PowerPoint Options PowerPoint 2007: HKEY_CURRENT_USER Software Microsoft Office 12.0 PowerPoint Options 4. Select Options by clicking on it once, and then click the Edit menu, then New and then DWORD Value. Type ExportBitmapResolution, and then press ENTER. Select ExportBitmapResolution, and click on Modify on the Edit menu. In the Value data box, type your desired resolution value: 300, then click Decimal (the value will change to 768), and then click OK. Exit the Registry Editor. Saving a high resolution image in PowerPoint To save an image, you simply export a PowerPoint slide as a picture. Have the slide that you want to export open. Select Save As from the File menu. In the Save as dialog, select the type of file that you want to export your slide as (.gif,.jpg,.png,.tif,.bmp,.wmf or.emf), and then click Save. Why use PowerPoint to create images at all? As I've, a lot of people have Office installed on their computers, and universities often provide Office for their research students and staff. Because of its large user base, researchers often crunch their numbers and create their figures in Excel. Importing an Excel chart into PowerPoint is as easy as copy-pasting, and you may then save the figure as a high resolution tiff image, as outlined above. PowerPoint provides another advantage, which is the reason that many conference posters are created in ppt format. The file may be saved as in native PowerPoint format, preserving the different objects. Need to insert a bigger arrow? Need to change the font size? Piece of cake.

It's easy to send the file to a collaborator, changes can be made, and comments inserted in text boxes. Further reading. Hey Emily, It is true that I usually do this work on Windows, even on my Mac by using Parallels. Anyway, I checked this out for you. I have the OSX version of PowerPoint 2011 on my machine, and it seems that you cannot set the dpi to 300. There is an option to scale images to 220 dpi, but that's not the same is it? Apparently, this functionality was included in PowerPoint 2008, but was removed in 2011! Here is a quote from someone working at Microsoft Support, 'Unfortunately, the 'Dots per inch' option is no longer available in Office for Mac. If this is a feature you'd like to see in future versions of Office for Mac, be sure to send your feedback by clicking.' See here: http://www.officeformac.com/ms/.59bcff97/0. I no longer have PowerPoint 2007 jmwing, so I can't give you a definitive answer. However, I just tried this with PowerPoint 2010 on Windows 7 and was able to output a TIF file with a printing resolution of 307 dpi. When saving the file, in the Save As dialog, I clicked the Tools button and then Compress Pictures. I then changed the Target output from Screen 150 ppi to Use document resolution. I am not saying that this will fix your issue, but it is the only '150' that I can find.
