However, since MS Office uses the OS X PDF framework to create the PDF files (which is no good for commercial printing workflows), you may still want to create high-resolution images from the PDFs.
At least some of the graphical elements in the design templates are vector graphics, which ensures that these elements won't pixelate later in printing at any resolution. This is sufficient to print the slide on a full A4 or Letter sheet at 300 ppi.Īlternatively, you can save slides as PDF instead of images (File > Save As…), and place those in your page layout application or word processor. Microsoft has limited the maximum possible export dimensions to 2999×2249 pixels (for aspect ratio 1:1.3) which is comparable to the size of a photo from a 6- or 7-megapixel digital camera. the width (the height will be calculated automatically). Unfortunately and inexplicably, Microsoft dropped this option ('Advanced resolution settings') in PowerPoint 2011.Ī quick-and-dirty solution would be to simply increase the pixel dimensions in the export settings.
