Exporting a presentation as PDF
Sometimes, sharing a presentation with a link might not be exactly what you need. Need a hard copy? A customer only accepts PDFs?
You can export any Seidat presentation as a PDF file with just a click of a button. Then, print, email, archive, or even convert it to a PowerPoint presentation. Embedded content (videos, websites...) will not work in the PDF.
Slides are exported as pages with an aspect ratio of 16:9. The slide order starts from the top-left corner of the matrix. Slides in the first column, starting from top to bottom, are placed at the beginning, followed by slides in the next column, and so on (check the picture below).
If you'd like to export your presentation for offline use and keep all functionality, check how to export a presentation for offline use.
Download as PDF for users who are logged in
Navigate to the sharing page of the presentation you'd like to export. You can do so by clicking Share presentation in the presentation preview or clicking Share presentation in the sidebar if the presentation is open.
Switch to the Export / PDF tab.
Navigate to the lower part of the page where it says "Presentation as PDF."
Select the quality for the pdf
Click EXPORT AS PDF at the bottom.
Once exported, you will receive an email with a link to the PDF file. The link is accessible for 14 days.
Download as PDF for users who are not logged in (customers, link receivers)
If you want the presentation link receiver to be able to download the presentation as a PDF, you can enable downloading as PDF by clicking "PDF download" in editing mode from the left lower corner (screenshot below). Once "Presentation viewers can download PDF" is checked, the presentation will have a button on the slide that lets anyone download the presentation in PDF format. The button will be visible for all links made for the presentation and also in the Play mode.
Can't get it to work?
The PDF download button is supported only for Plus and Pro license packages. If you have the Core package or an older subscription model (Team XXS-L), please contact us through our chat or directly with your Customer Success manager to upgrade the license.
PDF Quality options
If you wish to have a smaller PDF file to be exported, select a lower Jpeg quality and/or resolution.
