2. In the dialog, on the General tab, choose a default Transition type for
all slides, e.g. Blinds, Wipe, or Dissolve. An individual slide can
override this setting with its own transition setting.
3. Check Manual Advance if you don't want your slideshow to display
slides one by one automatically—slides will be progressed manually
by mouse-click or by pressing the space bar. For automatic
slideshows, choose a Duration, i.e. the number of seconds each slide
will remain on screen.
4. Uncheck Preview PDF file if you don't want to see a slideshow
preview in your PDF reader immediately after publishing.
5. When your slideshow reaches the last page you can Loop slideshow
continuously or Return to normal view to exit the slideshow.
6. In the Compatibility field, select a version of Adobe Reader for your
intended audience.

navigate to and select an audio file (WAV, MP3 and AIFF files).
8. Set a percentage Scale.
9. Select from the Publish profile drop-down list to choose a preset
publishing profile. You can modify a selected profile to create custom
profile settings using Save As....
10. For multi-section slides, from the Slides tab, duplicate or copy a
selected slide with the Insert or Copy button, respectively. Delete a
slide if needed, or rearrange the playback order of existing slides with
the Up or Down buttons. For more information, see Multi-section
slides (see p. 260).
11. The Compression, Security and Advanced tabs are as described in
Exporting PDF files (see p. 255), and should be set accordingly.
12. Click OK. In the dialog, save your named PDF file to a chosen
location. If Preview PDF file in Acrobat was checked, your
slideshow will start to run automatically.
