I need to convert a powerpoint file into a PDF file. I have instructions to do this (found here for the 3'x4' : http://www.csuchico.edu/biol/PosterGuide.htm ) and i have CutePDF as well. However, in teh instructions they state to go to "Print" in powerpoint and coose "CutePDF" in the printer box. CutePDF is not a printer option so I click "Find Printer" and an error box pops up saying "The Directory Service is Currently Unavailable". I have no idea what this means or what to do.

If anyone can shed some light on how to convert powerpoint to pdf it would be greatly appriciated!

My computer is a desktop working with Windows XP Home and Microsoft Office 2002

We use a free PDF converter at work called PDF995. It installs as a printer driver so that you can simply "print" it from Powerpoint into a PDF file. It's a free download that you can get direct from the manufacturer's web site: http://www.pdf995.com/download.html
