How to Make PowerPoint into PDF on Mac (macOS High Sierra 10.13) The conversion of PowerPoint files to PDF is a very simple task thanks to iSkysoft PDF Creator for Mac. It enables you to easily convert PowerPoint to PDF in great quality for files sharing.

PowerPoint has several features that may amaze you, but there's nothing quite like what we will explore on this page: an option to convert regular text intoa shape. First of all, this is an undocumented feature. And then, this is such an utterly useful option. For example, you can now easily create logos in PowerPointwithout using any other application. Or use a fancy font and then share that presentation with others in the knowledge that recipients can see the font exactly asintended, even if it's not installed on their computers.

Before we begin, you need to know that there are two methods through which you can convert text to shapes in PowerPoint:

1. The Intersect method: By converting text to a single shape. Think of each paragraph or multiple paragraphs as a separate shape
2. The Fragment method: By converting text into multiple individual shapes. Think of each alphabet as a separate shape

1. Insert a new text box on your slide and type in some text.Change the font type and font size, thefont color, and anyother attributes. Alternatively, select any existing text box on yourslide, as shown in Figure 1, below.

• Note: This technique only works with text boxes, and not text placeholders. Do not know the difference? Explore ourText Placeholders vs. Text Boxes in PowerPoint 2016 for Mac article.
• If your source text is within a text placeholder, there's an easy solution. Select your text placeholder and copy it. Then pasteimmediately within the same slide. The pasted copy is now a text box. Select this text box, and follow the remaining steps of this tutorial. You might want to deleteyour original text placeholder because it might get in the way while selecting the text box, but that's entirely optional.

2. Insert a shape (we choose a Rectangle) on your slide. Make sure that itoverlaps your text box in a way that covers it completely, as shown in Figure 2.

4. Now, carefully select the text box and then select the Rectangle shape. It's important that you select the text box first, since the output shape willtake the format of whatever is selected first.
5. Once your selections are done, access the Shape Format contextual tab of theRibbon (highlighted in bluewithin Figure 4), and click the Merge Shapes button (highlighted in red withinFigure 4). This brings up the Merge Shapes drop-down gallery, as shown in Figure 4.
