Thanks very much for that link. That looks like exactly what I am
experiencing. I will check that tomorrow (got stuck late tonight on another
job, so I won't have time tonight)

I hope this will be the solution I need, it looks promising from first read.
The only problem I will possibly have is that most of the other workers at my
company work on Macs (even though I've tried to get them to use the PCs for
the PPT work; I work on both) and the VBA solution in that link won't work on
the Mac. This might even be the way to get them to switch to PC for these
jobs.

Sometimes the carrot is mightier than the stick. <g>

The macro should, I think, be adaptible to PPT 2004, not 2008, but once again yes to
The Version Which Is Yet To Come (MS has announced that VBA will be back in Mac
PPT2008+1)


Thanks again.

I have a client who needs to submit PDFs of their presentations in Notes view
for legal routing. They have recently upgraded to the latest version (they
were previously using v2000) and I am now finding that when printing Notes
view, the slide itself becomes a single graphic on the notes page in the PDF,
both on Mac and Windows. The client needs to be able to select and highlight
the text and add notes on the slide before they submit the PDFs, and since
the slide is a graphic, the text is unselectable (and often unreadable at the
resolution the PDF is made)

I haven't found any settiings that can be changed to fix this, is there a
fix (other than saving the files back to 2003 and printing the PDFs there),
or am I stuck with this.

Have a look here; it addresses a slightly different problem but it's part and
parcel of the same problem you're reporting here:
