How to Create Slide Shows and Self-running Kiosks in Acrobat

"First, make sure you're using the right Acrobat software. With Acrobat Standard, you can add sound to documents but you can't import video clips. To create documents containing both video and sound, you'll need to use Acrobat Professional, which contains all the tools necessary for integrating media in PDF documents.

Acrobat is not a presentation-authoring program, so you'll need to use an application like PowerPoint to create your presentation. Some people use page-layout software to create presentations, but for animated effects, PowerPoint is the easiest tool for adding motion to both text and objects.

Add your desired animation and motion effects in PowerPoint before exporting to PDF. The visuals you create in PowerPoint display in an Acrobat viewer after PDF creation as long as you follow a few rules."

Use Office for more than the office

"Microsoft PowerPoint is a robust tool for creating powerful presentations. But you can also use PowerPoint to create multimedia cards to send in e-mail to friends and family - perfect for vacations, holidays, and numerous other occasions.

With PowerPoint, you can easily personalize the colors and design, include your own videos and photos of the family, and choose just the right message for each recipient."
