Batch printing of presentations through the "Microsoft Print to PDF" system printer, followed by cropping to the required format.

Why It Exists

Exporting a presentation to PDF and printing it to PDF are different things, and the results differ. Printing goes through the printer driver: page settings, margins, and scaling all apply. Sometimes that is exactly the path required — for instance when the receiving side expects a document that has been through print.

PowerPoint cannot batch-print. This program can.

The Order of Work

1. Make "Microsoft Print to PDF" the default printer.
2. Put the presentations into the input folder.
3. Run the printing.
4. Crop the result to 16:9 or A4/A3.

Cropping is separate from printing: printing produces the page as it is, and fitting to a format is done on the finished PDF.

Technical Reference

Requirements

An installed PowerPoint and the "Microsoft Print to PDF" system printer set as default. The program does not switch the printer for you: that is a system setting, and it should not be changed silently.

Formats

.pptx and .pptm are accepted.
