Presenter Publish Output Visual Fidelity Issues (in both PPTX and PPT Formats) in Presenter 8 and Presenter 9

Issue DescriptionWork around for PPTXWork around for PPT

1

Fonts in a PowerPoint file published on a local server that does not contain the fonts are replaced in the published presentation.

Install the required fonts on the server.

2

Certain Underline Styles do not appear as expected when published in Office 2003 (as PPT files).

Only 'Single line' underline is supported for PPT files created in Office 2007.

Adobe Presenter doesn't support Images in the CMYK color space in PPT files. If such images are used in the PPT file, they sometimes aren't visible in the published presentation.

CMYK images are supported

Save the image file in the RGB color space, reinsert it in the presentation and publish.

5

For some cases, text inside textbox/placeholder overflows to next line in published output. This issue can be caused by not honoring kerning effects for some sans-serif fonts like Times new Roman, Georgia, and so on.

In case text overflows to the next line in the published output:

  • Simply increase the width of the textbox/placeholder in the presentation slide.
  • Alternatively, use the add 1% shadow workaround.

If Audio, Video or SWF is inserted in the Slide Master of a Presentation in Slide Master View, then it gets inserted only in the first slide. It does not get inserted in the rest of the slides.

Problem Description

1

PowerePoint inserted video -> Animation, 3D, shadow, reflection, glow are not supported on PowerePoint inserted video.

2

Equations -> By word, by letter, by paragraph animations do not work on equations.

3

Actions -> Mouse over, mouse click actions on same object will not work simultaneously.

4

Animation triggers -> Animating one object on two triggered timelines simultaneously.

5

Slide transitions -> All 2007 slide transitions are supported except comb and newsflash. New transitions of PP 2010 and 2013 are not supported.

  • 3D Effects: Bevel Effect, 3D Rotation
  • Non 3D Effects: Shadow, Reflection, Glow, Soft edges, Text Transform

Applying 1% shadow workaround is used for any shape/textbox where you are seeing a difference between PowerPoint and Presenter's output.

Note: Applying this workaround causes loss of color animations. If your shape does not have color animation, you can apply 1 % shadow on the shape.


A 1 % shadow forces Presenter to rasterize the shape using PowerPoint VBA APIs. The look of the shape is the same as it is in PowerPoint.

The drawback of this approach is:

  • All color animations on the shape are lost because Presenter does not support color changing animation on images. However, 1 % shadow does not change any display behavior of the shape in PowerPoint.
  • It does not work when a PPTX file is uploaded on Adobe Connect using the browser directly (and not through Adobe Connect stand-alone add-in). So when you want to use this workaround on Adobe Connect:
    • Make sure you are using AdobeConnect stand-alone add-in
    • Publish the PPTX locally, and then upload the published output on Adobe Connect.
