Acrobat for Windows and Mac: Creating PDFs

(thinking…)

From PowerPoint with embedded Excel chart, pdf generated by pressing "Create and Share Adobe PDF" button produces PDF with ghost image

Using Office 365 with latest updates. Using Adobe Acrobat Pro 2023.003.20244 64-bit.

For multiple PowerPoint presentations, we have seen that if the PowerPoint presentation has an embedded Excel chart or an embedded Excel sheet, when we create a PDF, the resulting PDF has a ghost/shadow type image showing.

This happens when pressing the PowerPoint toolbar button "Create and Share Adobe PDF".

Please note that this shadow/ghosting problem does NOT happen when choosing to print and selecting "Adobe PDF" as the device to print to.

Samples are attached.

    Hi

    Thanks for sharing your feedback. This is an expected behavior since the image is not actually an image but a linked file. So the shadow/ghost image distinguishes the linked image from a normal static image. Hope that resolves your concern.

    Thanks
