Hi Joe,

We see the same problem as well.  We're using the recently OpenOffice 3.2 to 
convert 
from .ppt/.pptx documents to PDF.

For .ppt and .pdf, the results look good.  For .pptx, it's either Microsoft 
doesn't 
make it easy to convert or OpenOffice has not added proper support.  We are 
relying 
on OpenOffice, so we can only offer as good as conversion as OpenOffice 
supports.

For best results, we recommend using .pdf as it embeds all the needed fonts.  
The 
good news is that Microsoft offers a "save as" capability for .pdf in Office 
2007.  
You can download it from
