powerpoint >> Cannot optimize Powerpoint 2008 files using Acrobat Pro

by Eurythenes » Wed, 15 Jul 2009 06:59:18 GMT

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel

When I use Adobe Acrobat Pro (v9) to optimize pdf files of my Powerpoint 2008 presentations i get the following error message:

"an error was encountered while processing images"

I can optimize pdf files created on Word 2008 and Powerpoint 2004. PPT or PPTX files converted to pdf files on Powerpoint 2008 both get the same error message.

Is there a fix for this?

Update:
The good people at adobe told me that this was a problem with Powerpoint 2008.

The (not so good) people at Microsoft told me that this is a problem with Adobe.

The problem only occurs on pdf files made with Powerpoint 2008, pdf files created using PowerPoint 2004, Keynote, MS Word, etc. all function fine with Adobe Acrobat Pro

2. After installing Office 2008 SP2 and OpenXML updates Powerpoint cannot open .pptx files 

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel

I upgraded to the latest version of Mac Office last night, along with the most recent OpenXMLConverter. Unfortunately, now neither version of PowerPoint (2008 or 2004) I have installed on my Mac can open any of the .pptx files previously created. I checked to see if Word could open .docx files and it was fine.

Is anyone having similar problems? Any suggestions on how to resolve this?

4. powerpoint 2008 won't open powerpoint 97-2003 files 

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel

Powerpoint for Mac is updated to 12.1.2.

Powerpoint 97-2003 files created by a Windows PC & downloaded into Mac come with extra .pps extension if downloaded through Safari.

Powerpoint for Mac says "this file is an older format that is not supported". And will not open it.

Have tried:
deleteing .pps & renaming file
Using "File/Open" instead of double clicking
Downloading on PC (as standard .ppt) and moving file to Mac on USB memory drive.

Same result for all above. "not supported"

File opens fine in Windows PPT 2003.

File opens in Mac if you use "Quick Look" in "Get Info" menu.

8. Powerpoint 2007 and Acrobat 9 pro extended: animations 

It seems that PPT 2007 and Acrobat 9 has issues with maintaining PPT's 
animations.

I have "Preserve Slide Transitions" checked in adobe preferences, but the 
transitions do not seem to be preserved.

Is there a setting I am missing, or is this just a bug between PPT & 
Acrobat?

I will cross-post this in Adobe Acrobat newsgroup.

Thanks
