  mmm I've had to do this for a client- basically I just took the PDF of the INDD and exported it from Acrobat as a bunch of JPGs they could then put into powerpoint on their own.

  • I had the same idea but they need to edit all of the content themselves and this is well laid out.. its a bit of a holiday oh shit ho ho ho cluster f :)– Iggyboo1/3

  i did one recently. i saved a copy of the indesign file and deleted all the content that needed to be editable, exported as pdf, exported jpgs and used them as backgrounds.

  then, the laborious task of adding the content page by page. it didn't take too long in the end.

  I wonder how different the world would be if one could go back in time and make it so that PowerPoint never happened...

  • Amen.– Iggyboo1/5

    if we did that maybe we'd be stuck with something even worse...– doesnotexist3/5

  i did a ppt a few years ago freelancing. the client's client was a car racing team so i did all the bullet points as tyres that rolled in as the points appeared. each slide entered with a car revving sound. it was as bad as you're thinking and they fucking loved it.

  • haha, sounds like some of my clients– Josev
