Hi,

Alfresco has format conversion (or better transformation as it is named in Alfresco) build in. A lot of formats are supported out of the box. The document transformation can be done form a rule or script, triggered by events like "document updated" or "document created". It is also possible to add custom transformations. The mimetypes webscript provides a list of possible transformations.

In Alfresco Share there is currently no user interface for document transformations - however I know that this module implements a transformation dialog http://www.ecm-market.de/xkey-autoocr-transformer.html where you can choose various target document formats.

Regards,

To be honest, I am not sure that whether Alfreso can convert and export ppt or pptx document into pdf document, so, I can only recommend this <a href="http://www.rasteredge.com/how-to/vb-net-imaging/powerpoint-convert-pdf/">pptx to pdf</a> converting tool to you, with which you can convert powerpoint in the version of 2007 or laters to pdf document easily.
