Are you tired of losing hyperlinks when saving your PowerPoint presentations as PDFs? If so, you're not alone. It's a pain that we have to take the extra step, but thankfully it's there for those of us who still prefer PowerPoint over Keynote.

To save your PowerPoint presentation as a PDF on a Mac, first open the file and click on 'File' > 'Print'. From here, select 'PDF' > 'Save as PDF'. This will allow you to customize the range of slides you want to print. If you only want to print specific slides, such as slides 1 and 3, simply enter the slide numbers separated by commas in the 'Custom Range' box.

One thing to note is that Macs have their own PDF creation mechanism, so when saving as a PDF in PowerPoint, the Mac converter overrides PowerPoint's native PDF creation tool. This can result in losing hyperlinks. To avoid this, you can save your PowerPoint file online and then download it as a PDF.

Another option is to export your PowerPoint file as a Word document (.docx) or Rich Text Format (.rtf). To do this, go to 'File' > 'Export' and select the desired file format. You can also choose to create handouts by going to 'File' > 'Export' > 'Create Handouts'.

In my own experience, I ran into a problem with my PDF losing hyperlinks when I saved the file. To fix this issue, I logged into my account online and clicked on 'Go to My Account'. From here, I was able to download my PowerPoint file as a PDF without losing any hyperlinks.

Overall, saving your PowerPoint presentation as a PDF on a Mac can be a bit tricky, but with these steps you should be able to preserve your hyperlinks. By following these simple tips, you'll be able to easily convert your PowerPoint files into professional-looking PDFs that are perfect for sharing or printing.
