Benefits of converting Google Slides to PDF
- PDF files are more widely compatible than Google Slides. This means that you can share your PDF file with people who don’t have Google Slides installed.
- PDF files are easier to print than Google Slides. This is because PDF files are static, meaning that they don’t have any animations or interactive elements.
- PDF files are more secure than Google Slides. This is because PDF files can be password-protected.
Keep in mind
- The quality of the PDF file will depend on the quality of your original Google Slides.
- If you have any animations or interactive elements in your Google Slides, they will not be preserved in the PDF file.
- If you have any links in your Google Slides, they will be converted to hyperlinks in the PDF file.
