Do I need to keep pdf files?

Fairly new to PowerPoint and need to know: once I've set up my
PowerPoint slide show with all slides imported and in place...do I need
to keep the pdf files on my computer? Would save me tons of space on
PowerBook if I can put the original pdf files on my backup disk.

Thanks.

When you import images into a PowerPoint presentation using the Insert >
Picture > From File command, there is an option to "Link to file". If you
checked that option when you imported the PDF, then you need to keep the PDF
files in their current locations. If you left it unchecked, then you can
remove the PDF files.

If you don't remember whether the option was checked or not, or if you used
another method to import the PDF (like copy-and-paste or drag-and-drop),
it's best to delete and re-import the PDF files properly, making sure that
the link checkbox is unchecked.

I didn't import with "Link to file" checked so I guess all is good. I'm
going to take the pdf files from the PowerBook and see what happens.
