Hi All
I have to give a presentation this week at work, traditionally people have used power point or a .pdf
I was going to create the document in corel then go down the .pdf route,
I was really wondering because I need to shrink the document as much as possible as to what resolution images ought to be? currently I have tentatively turned them down to 200 dpi but the file is still huge, anyone have a recommended size?
the other problem I have is that some sheets are portrait or odd sizes, they seem to look ok in adobe .pdf reader in full screen mode so will pressumably be ok for the projector?
Now I know alot of this depends on the projector itself and to be quite honest I dont know anything about it, I think its fairly standard and its one of those that you plug into your computer and it beams the image onto one of those roll down/roll up screens.
thanks in advance
Harry and Foster,
thanks for your advice guys, what I'm going to have to do is to lay the sheets out as I want them sequentially and as a narrative, then I'll go and chat to the IT guys at work tomorrow and find out the resolution size etc as suggested, what I might end having to do is creating the slides the same size as one another but for the images that are odd shapes and sizes I will have to simply draw a rectangle the size of the page and colour it in black, (although the corel black never seems to match that in adobe reader), I guess I'm a tad confused on the whole because I've put together a tester .pdf of some of the odd shapes and they look fine in acrobat reader, its just how the projector will contort them I guess because I sort of presumed that they would look as they were on the screen?

Then you are probably OK.
Acrobat reader in full screen mode will scale each page up or down so that it fits the screen, but it will not stretch it. Portrait pages will use only part of the screen width in order to maintain their correct shape.
Non-proportional stretching will only occur if the projector has a different aspect ratio to the screen of the computer that is driving it. But that will not happen with a properly configured setup.
I think your advice has done the trick, getting it together now, thanks again!
