You can now use the colors of your PowerPoint theme in Adobe Presenter themes as well.
1. Open the presentation and click Adobe Presenter > Theme.
2. Click Use PowerPoint Theme Colors and click OK.
Adobe Presenter picks up the colors used in the PowerPoint theme and applies them to the skin of the presentation. You can see the preview in
the Theme Editor.
Theme, Glow, Background, and Font color boxes display the colors used in the PowerPoint theme along with different shades of the colors.
Create and edit themes
The primary way to design how presentations appear in the Adobe Presenter viewer is through the use of themes. Themes serve as the container
for your presentation and let you add static images, colors, and sound to create dynamic and interactive presentations. You can add a theme at
any time. Try using different themes until you achieve the look you want. You can reuse the same theme for each presentation you create or
design new themes.
Adobe Presenter gives you many options for customizing colors, tabs, functionality, graphics, font style, and other design elements of a theme.
Select a presentation theme
1. In PowerPoint, open a presentation (PPT or PPTX file).
2. Click Adobe Presenter > Theme.
3. Click a theme from the Theme list.
4. Click OK.
Create a custom theme
You can create a custom theme by selecting one of the default themes, making changes, and saving the new theme with a different name. For
example, you can start with the theme Sage, change the font color to dark green, and then save the new theme as SageModified. After you create
a custom theme, it appears in the Theme Name pop-up menu and can be used with other presentations.
1. In PowerPoint, open a presentation (PPT or PPTX file).
2. Click Adobe Presenter > Theme.
3. Make changes as desired. For example, click Modify Text Labels to change the text in different areas of the theme, or click the colors under
Appearance to select custom colors.
4. Click the Save As button and specify a name for the new theme.
5. Click OK.
The new theme appears in the Theme Name pop-up menu in the Theme Editor and can be used when publishing presentations.
Change and localize text labels in a theme
Text labels are the words that appear in a theme, such as button text and tab names. You can edit text labels in a theme at any time.
1. In PowerPoint, open a presentation (PPT or PPTX file).
2. Click Adobe Presenter > Theme.
3. Click Modify Text Labels.

Presentations detect the language of a user’s operating system and automatically display the text labels in the user’s native language
if their computer’s language is set to German, French, Korean, Japanese, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, Simplified Chinese, or Dutch.
Otherwise, English text labels appear.
5. As necessary, change the text labels for any element of the presentation theme. For example, you can change the text that displays on
buttons or panes.
