From: Elaine on 9 Sep 2005 19:23 Hello Steve, Once I disable the hyperlink message, I want to burn the presentation to a CD. Do I have to have Adobe Reader on the CD to read the PDF? -- Thank you...

As far as launching a PDF, whoever plays the presentation would likely need to have Reader installed; you used to be able to set it up to run from CD but I don't believe that's possible any longer. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================

Hi Elaine, This might help you get around your problem. In the same folder create a new presentation slide. In this slide you can write something like: ' to view pdf files you require Acrobat Reader if not click hear. You can then create a button to go to adobe site to download acrobat reader. Then create another button this saying:'if you have arobat reader click here'. Hyperlink this button to your pdf file which should be in the same folder. Now save this presentation slide as a web page. From your main presentation remove the hypelink to the pdf files and re do the hyperlink to the web page you have created. Now when the viewer click this link the page opens in a browser separate to your main presentation with hypelinks to adobe site to download acrobat reader or view your pdf files and when everything is shut down you return to the main presentation. Most importantly no security warning. Why? Hypelinks to web pages do not bring up the security warning. Hope this has helped you.
