handouts are blank?

[riggs]

Hi all:

I've used powerpoint for years, often making handouts for
presentations. This follows the typical path of selecting print, then
choosing microsoft powerpoint from the pull down menu, selecting the
number of slides to print per page and then selecting save as a PDF
file. It always works except yesterday. PPT saves the proper number
of pages but they are all blank. I had a look at various settings, of
PPTs that do generate good handout PDFs and the one which doesn't.
They seem the same, although I must admit that I don't know what I'm
looking for. I've copied the file, renamed it, tried a different
computer, etc. There aren't any unusual pictures or graphs and it is
quite small in size (<2mb). Anyone have any ideas of how to get
something other than blank handouts? My audience will undoubtedly
appreciate it, as will I. Thanks for your time.

Hello,
First I would like to make sure we are speaking about the same thing,
because you said: choosing microsoft powerpoint from the pull down menu
which I don't know where it comes in printing dialog.

Are you printing from PowerPoint to PDF and there's nothing on the pages,
is it?

I have two:
1. what about used template, is it different than in PPT presentation which
just works?

2. do you have checked/unchcked option view>master>handout master

3. And finally I've got another one. Would that be possible that you
accidently did your presentation in master view, so now when printing
black/white (if you do so) it's removing the master design, which is in
fact your presentation?
