M-Files PowerPoint hidden slides are not ignored when generating PDF with M-Files.

matiasmueller

Hi

When I generate a pdf from a powerpoint file in M-Files by using the M-Files command then I run into the problem that hidden slides are not ignored. Is that a bug or is there a setting i can change. It’s rather unfortunate that hidden slides are in the pdf.

    I think the client-side PDF conversion should obey the options set in the PowerPoint document. Thus in PowerPoint, go to File > Options > Advanced > When printing this document, select 'Use the following print settings' and uncheck 'Print hidden slides' and remember to save the presentation. Then see if there is any difference in the behavior.

    Another thing you could try as a workaround would be to use server-side PDF conversion: create a simple workflow that has a state with the "Convert to PDF" action selected and put the document in the workflow.
