What do I need to do to distribute PowerPoint 2003 as PDF file to keep the
Action Buttons alive so that these buttons will allow the user to navigate
the show while viewing in PDF?

Mack,

If you convert your PowerPoint presentations to Acrobat PDF files, you notice a peculiar thing:
Most of the interactive features ... the action buttons, links and other goodies that make your presentation dynamic and
easy to navigate ... don't work in the PDF! Poof! Gone!
To make the PDF interactive again, you have to open it in Adboe Acrobat and re-create all the links and actions you
already DID in PowerPoint. That's if you have Acrobat. If not, you're out of luck.
That's crazy. PowerPoint does links. Acrobat does links. Why can't they cooperate?
They can! Prep4PDF makes the connection.

Wait, hold up. It's not your fault after all.
It turns out that they change their company name as often as they change their
product names and they change those more frequently than they change their
underwear.

It's not you, it's not the keyboard, it's Abode.
