SEO Problem with PowerPoint to PDF?
-
Can anyone think of any reasons why it would be a bad idea to use PowerPoint to create documents and then convert them to PDFs? Do you think this could cause any crawling issues for Google?

Google does index PDF files quite well, and from my experience Powerpoint does a good job of generating PDFS. I don't expect you'll see any problems here.
But how about this... if you uploaded your powerpoint to a service like SlideShare you will probably provide a better experience to many users, you can have an additional social elements and gain one or two decent links from SlideShare. Worth some thought?

This shouldn't hurt your SEO in any way.
I do like Andie's suggestion about SlideShare. You can even embed the slideshare on your own site so i don't see any reason why this wouldn't work.
