Tips

Select Create PDF and E-mail or the corresponding button from the Kofax PDF menu, to create and save a PDF and also send a copy as an e-mail attachment.

Use the Settings menu item from the Kofax PDF menu or click the corresponding button to change settings in the Kofax PDF Settings for PowerPoint dialog box and the PDF Create Properties dialog box.

These PowerPoint settings allow comments, hyperlinks and metadata to be transferred to PDF files and for a bookmark to be created for each slide. If metadata transfer is enabled, this overrides any information added through the Document Settings dialog box.
