Nenhum produto de terceiros é necessário. Como você observou, o PowerPoint pode exportar uma apresentação como um PDF. Com a aplicação de um pequeno script, você pode alcançar seu resultado. Eu peguei o script VB abaixo. Basta criar um arquivo com um nome que termine em ".vbs", cole o código abaixo.
Para usar:
CSCRIPT ppt.vbs "input file name" "output file name"
É importante notar:
- Se o (s) nome (s) contiverem espaços, eles precisarão ser citados.
- Se você não especificar um caminho para o arquivo de saída, o PowerPoint o colocará sua pasta Documentos.
Eu incluí links em linha para referências aos vários bits.
