Why does the format change when exporting PowerPoint to PDF, and how can I keep A4 dimensions?

lateinslayer · 5. Januar 2025

Hello, I am currently working on a book project created in Microsoft PowerPoint. The original slide size in PowerPoint is set to A4 dimensions 210x297mm. However, when I export the presentation to a PDF file, the format changes, and the dimensions shrink to 190.5x275.2mm. I need the PDF to retain the original A4 size for printing. Does anyone know why this happens and how I can ensure that the PDF remains A4 210x297mm when exporting? Thank you in advance for your help!

This is the German PowerPoint Answers forum. Not everyone here reads and writes enough English to answer a question posted in English, German is preferred. So if you do not get sufficient answers here, you might consider posting in the English version of
Microsoft Answers. Or repeat your question in German. Or look for a 3D forum.

I myself do not use the 3d builder, I prefer Paint 3D, which comes for free with Windows 10.

The preferred file format for 3d in PowerPoint is .glb. And I know that this file format supports transparency. If such a file has transparency, it usually is shown on PowerPoint slides. So I suspect there is a problem when exporting the file to glb. Did
you test the glb file in other programs? Does it show transparency?

All options related to fonts and colors can be accessed by clicking Design, then Styles, and then Customize. If you have any questions about what the different options do, feel free to respond and I can answer.

How does ODBC with Excel work under Windows 7 without running Excel as Administrator?

Using Windows XP I didn't need to have admin rights to configure ODBC connections and as well none to use these ODBC connections e.g. in Excel 2010.

Now using Windows 7 I need admin rights to configure ODBC - that's okay. But I also need them to connect via ODBC to my database. When I don't run Excel as admin, the connection doesn't start (there is even no message why not) - I need to start Excel as admin
each time.

Is there no way to use ODBC without starting Excel as administrator? (I would be ok, when the admin password prompt appears when I try to connect to my ODBC data source... but this doesn't happen)...

The main problem why I can't default to run Excel as administrator: I cannot open any Excel-Document e.g. out of the Windows Explorer with Excel. I always have to start Excel first and then use the File-Open-Dialogue to access the Excel sheet.

Information:

I use an IBM ODBC driver for DB2 and Excel 2010, Windows 7 SP1
