Use elearning templates
Adobe Presenter is shipped with default elearning templates that contain different layouts for your presentations. These layouts let you quickly
decide the placement of text and other assets on a slide.
To use the templates in your presentation, do the following:
1. Create a new project by clicking New > New From Existing.
2. Navigate to C:\User\Documents\Adobe\Presenter Assets\PowerPoint Templates and choose a template.
You can then apply a Powerpoint theme (Design ribbon) to the new presentation.
Apply PowerPoint themes to presentations
In Adobe Presenter presentations, the slide background is determined by settings in PowerPoint. You can customize the background of the slides
in a presentation by using PowerPoint design templates. When you apply a design template, all slides in the presentation are assigned the design
template background.
For example, you might create a presentation in PowerPoint using the design template named Technology, add the theme named Arctic in the
Adobe Presenter Theme Editor, publish the presentation to Adobe Connect Server, and view the presentation. You notice that the theme clashes
with the slide background of the Technology design template so you want to change the slide background.
Follow the procedure below corresponding to the PowerPoint version installed on your computer. (To check version number, open PowerPoint,
click the Help menu, and select About Microsoft PowerPoint.)
Use PowerPoint XP templates as slide backgrounds
1. In PowerPoint, open a presentation (PPT or PPTX file).
2. From the Format menu, select Slide Design.
3. Select an appropriate template that matches the theme you have chosen for your presentation and click Apply.
4. To test the design template background with the presentation theme, publish your presentation locally and view the results. (In PowerPoint,
select Adobe Presenter > Publish, select My Computer, and click Publish.)
Use PowerPoint 2007/2010 template as slide backgrounds
1. In PowerPoint, open a presentation (PPT or PPTX file).
2. From the menu, select Design tab.
3. Select an appropriate template that matches the theme you have chosen for your presentation and click Apply.
4. To test the design template background with the presentation theme, publish your presentation locally and view the results. (In PowerPoint,
select Adobe Presenter > Publish, select My Computer, and click Publish.)
Avoid using the Concourse theme background. Gradient images in this theme do not display properly.
