Put Powerpoint Files on a Diet

Sometimes your students will just want to print the presentation slides as a study guide handout. That's what Mick Dunne (Dental Hygiene) had in mind. He posted his vocabulary presentation for students to download. But the Powerpoint file is over 8 MB in size. The larger the file, the longer the download time.

Since Mick wanted his students to have the study guide handout, it was best to use Adobe Acrobat to create the printed view - with full color - for students to use. This file was well under 1 MB, just 335 KB!

Easy access to files is one half of the solution, making smaller files is the other half.
