Image file path shows up whenever I hold mouse over image

Post by jmt356 »

I saved my Powerpoint as a PDF. Now, when I hold my mouse over an image in the PDF, the path corresponding to the location on my computer from which the image was copied shows up. How can I stop this from happening?
Regards,

After selecting PDF as file type in the Save As dialog, click Options...

Clear the check box "Document structure tags for accessibility".
Click OK.

Is there a way to program PPT such that the image paths never show up by default when saving the PPT as a PDF? My concern is that I may forget to clear the check box or "Document structure tags for accessibility" in a future PPT.

Untested, but see if the advice and macro by Steve Rindsberg in this thread resolved it from PowerPoint.
