What is a PDF (Portable Document Format) file?

The Portable Document Format (PDF) is a universal file format that comprises characteristics of both text documents and graphic images which makes it one of the most commonly used file types today. The reason PDF is so widely popular is that it can preserve original document formatting. PDF files always look identical on any device or operating system.

How to open a PDF file?

Most people head right to Adobe Acrobat Reader when they need to open a PDF. Adobe created the PDF standard and its program is certainly the most popular free PDF reader out there. It's completely fine to use, but I find it to be a somewhat bloated program with lots of features that you may never need or want to use.

Most web browsers, like both Chrome and Firefox, can open PDFs themselves. You may or may not need an add-on or extension to do it, but it's pretty handy to have one open automatically when you click a PDF link online. I highly recommend SumatraPDF or MuPDF if you're after something a bit more. Both are free.

Save PowerPoint presentations as PDF files

When you save presentation as a PDF file it freezes the formatting and layout. People can view the slides even if they don’t have PowerPoint, but they can’t make changes to it.

Select File > Export .

Click Create PDF/XPS Document , then click Create PDF/XPS .

In the Publish as PDF or XPS dialog box, choose a location to save the file to. If you want it to have a different name, enter it in the File name box.

Optionally, if you want to change what the final PDF file is like, do any of the following:

At Optimize for , select Standard for higher quality (for example, if you want to print it). Select Minimum size to make the file smaller (for example, if you want to send it as an e-mail attachment).

Click Options to set how the presentation will appear as a PDF. Here are some of the available options:

To save the current slide only as a PDF, under Range , select Current slide .

To save specific slides as PDF, in Slides(s) , enter the slide number range in From and To boxes.

If you don't want to save slides, but instead only save comments, handouts, or Outline view, under Publish what , select an appropriate option. You can also specify the number of slides to appear in Slides per page dropdown box, and modify the order ( Horizontal or Vertical ).

You can choose to include frame slides, hidden slides, comments, ink, non-printing information such as Document properties or Document structure tags, in your PDF by selecting the appropriate options.

Click Publish .

There are two ways to make your PowerPoint for macOS presentation a PDF.

You can save your presentation as a PDF in File > Save As .

You can export your presentation as a PDF file by going to File > Export .

Both methods do the same thing, so you can choose whichever you're more familiar with when you want to create a PDF version of your presentation.

Method 1: Save your presentation as a PDF

Select File > Save As .

Choose the location where you'd like to save your PDF, and then in the File Format menu, choose PDF.

Method 2: Export your presentation as a PDF

In the File Format menu, choose PDF.

Note:  If you’d like to have more options to customize PDF conversions of presentations in PowerPoint for macOS, let us know by providing us feedback. See  How do I give feedback on Microsoft Office? for more information.

Set the print quality of the PDF

Features such as saving notes, saving slides as handouts, including hidden slides in the PDF, or setting the PDF to a smaller file size aren't available. However, you can set the print quality of a PDF to a higher or lower standard.

Tip:  PowerPoint for macOS doesn't preserve hyperlinks in PDFs but if you save your presentation to OneDrive you can open it in PowerPoint for the web and download as PDF from there. PDF files generated from PowerPoint for the web preserve hyperlinks, are accessible, and also tend to have a smaller file size.

You can set the print quality of the PDF to High , Medium , or Low —depending on your need. By default, the print quality is set to High—which is the optimal choice for printing a PDF. Follow these instructions to set the print quality of the PDF:

Click the PowerPoint menu > Preferences .

In the PowerPoint Preferences dialog box, click General .

Under Print Quality (Paper/PDF) , set the Desired Quality to an option of your choice.

Click the File tab, click Download As , and then click Download as PDF . (The file is converted to PDF, and then a dialog box tells you that it is ready to download.

Click Download . A message bar appears to show you that the downloaded PDF file is ready to save to your computer. (The exact message varies depending on the web browser you're using.) 

Click Save As , and then a dialog box appears that allows you to specify where to save the file on your computer.

How to Convert PowerPoint to PDF (Step-by-Step)

• PowerPoint Tutorials
• Presentation Design
• Shortcuts & Hacks
• March 3, 2019

In this article, you will learn how to convert PowerPoint into the PDF file format using Microsoft Office.

You DO NOT need any 3rd party software programs, websites, or add-ins to get the job done.

If you have Microsoft Office (I’m using the Office 365 Subscription), there are three ways to convert PowerPoint into the PDF file format.

• Full page slides
• Handouts (with comments, notes, and/or multiple pages per slide)
• An editable Word document (then convert Word to PDF)

Table of Contents

Why bother converting into the pdf file format.

There are two main benefits for converting PowerPoint into the PDF file format:

Benefit #1: It reduces your file size by as much as one-third, making it easier to share and email your file with your colleagues, bosses, and clients.

Benefit #2: It locks down your PowerPoint presentation and protects your content. That way someone can’t just copy and paste the content of your presentation.

If you want to further protect your PowerPoint presentation, you can alternatively add a password to open your presentation. This forces someone to enter the correct password to be able to view and edit your presentation. To see how to password protect a PowerPoint presentation, read our guide here .

Convert PowerPoint to PDF as full page slides

The fastest (and simplest) way to convert your .ppt or .pptx files into the .pdf format, is through the  Save As dialog box. While you will learn how to print your slides in a variety of different formats as a PDF later in this tutorial, saving your presentation as a PDF is the fastest way to do it.

That said, you can only use this method to save your presentation as full-page slides. If you want to print multiple slides per page or include your speaker notes in your PDF, then you will need to use one of the following methods listed below.

1. Open the Save As dialog box

The fastest way to open the Save As dialog box in PowerPoint is by hitting F12 or Ctrl + Shift + S on your keyboard.

The Save As dialog box gives you a variety of different ways you can save your presentation, including converting it into the PDF file format.

2. Open the Save As Type dropdown

Inside the Save As dialog box, open the Save as type dropdown. By default, your PowerPoint presentation will start as the PowerPoint Presentation file type as you can see in the picture below.

3. Select the PDF file format

Inside the Save As Type dropdown you will see all of the different file types you can save your PowerPoint presentation as. including a PowerPoint template, older versions of PowerPoint, PNG, etc.

Scan through the list and find the PDF file format and select it as pictured below.

One of the options worth noting in the Save As Type dropdown is the PowerPoint Template option. 

Creating a PowerPoint template is a great way to save time by creating the custom layouts you and your team specifically want to use for your pitches and presentation.

That said, before you choose this file type, make sure you set up your PowerPoint slide master correctly, so you have a template worth saving. To see how to create a PowerPoint template from scratch like this, read our guide here .

4. Choose a location and/or rename your PDF

Choose a location on your computer to save your PowerPoint presentation as a PDF. You can also rename the file if you choose.

It is important to note that because the PowerPoint and PDF file types are different, you do not need to worry about overwriting your original PowerPoint presentation with the PDF version of your presentation that you are creating.

If you make no selection, your converted PDF file will save to the last place you saved your presentation with its existing name.

5. Click Save

Once you have made all of the selections above, simply click Save to start the PowerPoint to PDF conversion process.

Once the conversion process is complete, the PDF version of your presentation will open for you to review. This is a great time to look through your PDF to make sure you didn’t lose any of your content.

6 Types of PowerPoint Content That Will Not Convert to a PDF

Because the PDF file format is meant for printing (not presenting graphics), there are six different types of PowerPoint content you will lose in the PDF conversion process.

Below I’ve listed the type of content you will lose, and any workarounds if they exist.

1. PowerPoint Animations

So there is a NEW workaround you can use to get your animations into the PDF file format using some VBA code.

On his blog, Neil Mitchell has written a macro you can install to convert your PowerPoint animations into the PDF file format.  See details on Neil’s blog here .

On the flip side, if you don’t install that macro, all of your PowerPoint animations will be removed when you convert PowerPoint to PDF.

This means that all your animated objects will be left where they are on your slide. It doesn’t matter what type of animation you had applied to them either (appear, disappear or motion path effect).

For example, if you have a list of bullet points with the Appear Animation effect applied to them, your bullets will just appear (as they are) without the animations applied to them.

Thankfully, you will not lose your bullet points.

2. Off-slide content

All off-slide content including your speaker notes, comments, formatting guides and/or graphics outside of your slide space are removed when you save your presentation as a PDF. For example, all of the content to the right of slide in the picture below counts as off-slide content as it is not on the slide itself. As such, it will be removed.

If you have off-slide content that you don’t want removed, make sure to sweep through your presentation and move it onto your slide before you save your presentation as a PDF.

3. Slide transitions and special effects

All slide transitions and timings are removed in the PDF file format.

If you need to keep your transitions and other other effects, you will want to use a different method for protecting your presentation.

4. Zoom transitions

The PDF file format does support hyperlinks, and because Zoom Transitions are a fancy form of hyperlinks, the links between your slides will properly convert to the PDF file format.

That said, the Zoom Transition effect will not convert to the PDF file format. Only the hyperlink between the slides you are Zooming between.

To learn all about hyperlinking in PowerPoint (including zoom transition),  see our guide here .

5. Zoom Transitions

If you have the Microsoft Office 365 Subscription, any 3D models will automatically be converted into a static picture.

As a side note, this is a great way to reduce your PowerPoint file size. Simply swap out any 3D models with static photos. To learn 6 different ways to compress your PowerPoint presentations,  read our article here .

6. Videos, audio and other media file types

All media files in your presentation will be converted into static pictures. The static image will either be the first frame of your video or the the poster frame you set for your video.

On top of that, any audio files, narrations and other media files will be removed from your presentation. The PDF file format is not a media rich format.

Converting Speaker Notes and Multiple Slides per Page into the PDF file format

To convert your speaker notes into the PDF file format or print your presentation with multiple slides per page, you’ll need to use the Microsoft Print to PDF printer and adjust your print layout.

The following steps assume that you have already added speaker notes to your presentation and have properly set up your Notes Master and/or your Handout Master . To learn all about how to add and format your speaker notes in PowerPoint, read our guide here .

To expand your knowledge and learn more about printing multiple slides per page in PowerPoint, read our guide here .

1. Open the Print dialog box

The fastest way to open the Print dialog box is using the Ctrl + P keyboard shortcut.

If you don’t like keyboard shortcuts, you can alternatively:

• Click the File tab
• Select Print in the backstage view

If you want to expand your knowledge and learn the top 25 PowerPoint shortcuts that will save you time, read our guide here .

2. Select the Microsoft Print to PDF printer

Inside the Print dialog box, open the Printer dropdown and select the Microsoft Print to PDF printer.

The Microsoft Office Suite includes this Microsoft Print to PDF printer so that you can quickly and easily turn any Microsoft Office document into the PDF file format. You do not need to buy any third-party software or applications to do this.

3. Select the correct Notes Page or Handout layout

Next make the proper layout selection based on how you want your PDF presentation to look.

If you want your Speaker Notes below your slide, you will want to select the Notes Pages layout (picture on the left). If you want to print multiple slides per page, select the appropriate Handouts layout (picture on the right).

4. Click Print

After making any other final printing adjustments or customizations, click Print .

5. Choose a location and name for your PDF

Inside the  Save As Print Output dialog box, select a location on your computer to save your PDF and name the file.

While you can just print to your desktop, I recommend saving the PDF in the appropriate client or project folder so you do not forget where it is. You also do not need to worry about your PDF overwriting your original PowerPoint presentation as the PowerPoint and PDF file types are different.

6. Click Save

Although we are printing your presentation as a PDF with speaker notes or multiple slides per page, the final step is to click Save (not print).

This saves your presentation in the PDF file format with your speaker notes below your slides.

Final Thoughts

So those are the two different ways you can convert PowerPoint into the PDF file format, natively within the Microsoft Office program.

If you plan on converitng your presentation into the PDF file format, remember that not all types of PowerPoint content will properly convert. In this case, make sure you build your presentation with the conversion process in mind, avoiding things like animations, videos or special effects that cannot be translated into the PDF file format.

You can use these same techniques to convert your other office documents into the PDF file format too.

How to Convert a PowerPoint to PDF? [Most Helpful Post!]

By: Author Shrot Katewa

If you use PowerPoint to make your presentations, every once in a while you will need to convert them to a non-editable format like a PDF file. But, if you are not used to converting a PPT file to a PDF format, the task can seem quite difficult at first!

To convert a PowerPoint file to PDF, click on the “File” tab. Then, click “Export”. A new window will open up. Choose the destination, name of the file, and the file format as “PDF”. Lastly, click “Export”.

But that’s just one way of converting a PowerPoint file to PDF. In this article, I will be sharing with you multiple other ways so that you can choose the one that works the best for you! Plus, at the end of the article, we’ll also explore how you can convert a PDF file to a PPT format!

So, let’s get started!

How to Convert a PowerPoint to PDF for FREE?

Converting PowerPoint files to PDF is completely free on Windows and Mac and can be done following a few simple steps. However, the steps might slightly vary with the edition/version of PowerPoint you are using on your computer and its operating system. In this section, I’ll be giving you a step-by-step guide on how to convert PPT files to PDF on Windows and Mac. I will also introduce you to the most popular internet tool you use to get the job done!

Convert PowerPoint to PDF on Windows PC

The easiest way to convert a PowerPoint presentation to PDF is to use the “Save As” option. But you can also choose the “Export” option if you want. Let’s learn both the methods of converting a PowerPoint file to a PDF.

Method 1 – Using the “Save As” PDF File Option

For using the “Save As” option, follow the steps below:

Step-1: Click on ‘Save as’ from the ‘File’ tab.

From the top left corner use the “ File ” tab to access the “ Save As ” option. On clicking “ Save As ” you will get to store the PowerPoint presentation on your desired directory.

Step-2: Select ‘PDF’ in the ‘Save as type’ menu.

After choosing the preferred directory, name your file, and provide “PDF” (*.pdf) from the “Save as type” drop-down menu.

Step-3: Save the PPT file as a PDF file.

Click on “Save” and you will get your PowerPoint presentation published as a PDF file.

This is how you can convert your PowerPoint Presentation (PPT) into a PDF file, using the ‘Save as’ option. You can achieve the same result using the “Export” option described below.

Method 2 – Using the ‘Export’ as PDF Function in PowerPoint

Using this method is quite similar to the one mentioned above. However, a couple of steps do vary. So, let’s take a look at how to export a PPT file as PDF in PowerPoint –

Step-1: Find ‘Export’ from the ‘File’ tab.

Same as before, use the “ File ” tab to access the “ Export ” option. On clicking “ Export ” you will be given multiple options to export your PPT presentation. Choose “Create PDF/XPS Document”.

Step-2: Choose Export File Type as PDF

Clicking on the “ Create PDF/XPS ” will open a box where you will have to choose your preferred directory to store the PDF file. Look closely at the “ Save as type ” and you will find that “ PDF ” (*.pdf) already selected. If not, select it from the drop-down menu.

Step-3: Save PDF

Click on “Publish” and you will get your PowerPoint presentation saved as a PDF file.

How to Convert a PowerPoint to PDF on Mac?

Converting a PPT file to PDF on a Mac is quite similar to what I have just shown earlier. In that, I mean that the process is the same as before just that the options and the visual design of the user interface might vary!

To catch up, here are the steps all over again:

Method 1 – Using the “Save As” PDF Option

Step-1: Find ‘Save As’ from the ‘File’ tab.

In your PowerPoint select the “File” tab and click on “save as”.

Step-2: Set you desired directory.

Choose your preferred directory and set the file type to “PDF” (*.pdf).

Step-3: Convert to PDF

Click on the “Save” button the save the file and complete its conversion to PDF.

Method 2 – Using an Export function on Mac

In your PowerPoint select the “File” tab and access the “Export” option.

Step-2: Set your desired Directory

Choose your desired directory and set the file format to “PDF” (*.pdf).

Click on ‘Export’ to convert the PPT file to PDF.

1.3 Convert PowerPoint to PDF using Online Tools

There are plenty of online tools available for you to convert your PowerPoint presentation file into a PDF file. A simple google search will show you a bunch of these tools. Here, I’ll be discussing my personal favorite: Small PDF .

Step-1: Go to Small PDF using an Internet Browser

Open your Internet Browser (Chrome and Firefox preferred) and go to: https://smallpdf.com /ppt-to-pdf

Step-2: Upload your PowerPoint Presentation file

Click on “Choose Files” or drag your PowerPoint file to the box. Upon uploading the file, the tool will start converting your presentation file to a PDF file instantly.  

Step-3: Download PDF

It will take a few seconds for the tool to complete the conversion. Once it is complete, a preview of the PDF file will appear on your screen. Click on ‘Download’ and choose your desired directory to finish off.

How to Convert a PowerPoint to PDF with Notes?

Notes are the extensive comments and markup ink you add to each presentation slide. Sometimes, you might feel the need to convert your PowerPoint Presentation file into a PDF with not just slides, but also with the attached notes.

Here’s how to convert a PowerPoint to PDF –

Step 1: Find the ‘Export’ option from the ‘File’ tab.

Open you desired PowerPoint file containing the notes and from the “File” tab menu, click on “Export”. Next, click on the “Create PDF/XPS” box.  

Step 2: Go to the ‘Option’ menu

A box will appear to add a directory. Put “File type” as PDF (*pdf) from the drop-down menu. Then click on the “Option box”.  

Step 3: Choose the Correct Publish Options

An option box will then appear where you will find the ‘Publish options’ section. From the ‘Publish what:’ dropdown menu, choose “Notes pages.’ After that, mark the box called “Include comments and ink markup”.  Click on ‘Ok’ to apply changes. 

Step 4: Convert to PDF

Click on “ Publish ” and you have successfully attached notes to the newly created PDF.

How to Save a PPT file as a PDF with Multiple Slides Per Page?

Converting regular PowerPoint presentations to PDF is quite easy and you can do it by simply following the steps above. But what if you want multiple slides per page?

That’s easy too! Just follow the steps below:

Step 1: Find the ‘Export’ option from ‘File’ tab.

Open the “File” tab and find “Export”. Click on the “Create PDF/XPS” box. 

Step: 2: Go to the ‘Option’ menu

Choose a file name in the directory and then from the drop-down menu, select PDF for “Save as type”. Click on the “option” to get access to change the number of slides you want to add per page.  

Step 3: Change the Publish Options

An option box will pop up where you will find the ‘Publish what:’ dropdown menu under the ‘Publish options’ section. From the dropdown menu, select “Handouts.”

Now, on the right side, you can choose the number of slides per page from the ‘Slides per page’ section. Choose your desired number and click on “Ok” to apply the changes.

Step 4: Publish to Save the File as PDF

Click on “Publish” to enjoy as many slides as you want on a page while converting a PPT file to a PDF file.

How To Convert Pages To PDF

• April 23, 2024

You can convert pages to PDF easily by using the ‘file’ section in most word processors and other software suites, and then hitting ‘save as’ – or in some cases there will be a dedicated ‘convert to PDF’ button.

In today’s ever-changing digital working world, PDFs are one of the most widely used formats, thanks to it’s cross-platform versatility, and ability to preserve formatting no matter who’s viewing the file. But, if you’re wondering how to convert pages to PDF using OfficeSuite or other apps, here’s how you can do it.

Contents Toggle 1. Why do so many people use PDF? 2. How to convert pages to PDF on Windows 3. How to convert pages to PDF on a Mac 4. How to convert pages to PDF on iOS 5. How to convert pages to PDF on Android 6. What types of file should I convert to PDF? 7. When to avoid using PDF 8. OfficeSuite PDF: Hassle-free conversion.

1. why do so many people use pdf.

You may have noticed that pretty much everyone has used, or uses PDF in their working, or even their lives. Well, there are plenty of reasons for this:

Universal Compatibility : Probably the biggest reason for using PDFs, is that anyone can open them. Unlike some document formats that may need specific software to open, PDFs can be viewed on pretty much any device that has a PDF reader. This makes them ideal for sharing documents amongst people who use different devices and operating systems, including mobile. So, if you’re working on a PC and have a recipient who you know uses a Mac, they won’t have any issues if the file is in PDF format.

Formats stay the same: Another popular feature of PDFs is that they faithfully preserve the exact same layout, fonts, and graphics of your original document. This means that when you share a file, you won’t have to worry about the fonts changing, images shifting, or layouts getting jumbled up – a crucial advantage for resumes , presentations, proposals, or any document where visual consistency is paramount.

Strong security : Accessibility advantages aside, PDFs also offer robust security features to safeguard sensitive information. You can password-protect your PDF, requiring a designated password for anyone to access the content, and for even stronger protection, encryption capabilities allow you to scramble the document’s contents. This added layer of security is invaluable for protecting confidential information like financial records, legal documents, or proprietary data.

Reduced file size: While the exact size depends on the content, PDFs can often be smaller than their original counterparts. Text-heavy files generally see the most significant size reduction, resulting in faster uploads, easier email attachments, and more efficient storage. In today’s digital world where cloud storage space and bandwidth can be at a premium, PDFs offer a welcome advantage, especially when dealing with large volumes of documents.

Long-term archiving: Unlike some file formats susceptible to corruption over time, PDFs are known for their exceptional stability. They resist digital degradation and maintain readability pretty much forever, which makes them perfect for archiving crucial documents like contracts, certificates, or historical records.

Ok, let’s get into how to convert pages to PDF – and we’ll be using OfficeSuite Documents to demonstrate just how easy it can be. And just a quick note – when we say ‘pages’, this can refer to Microsoft Word, Apple iWork files, and many more. And of course, presentations and spreadsheets can also be converted.

2. How to convert pages to PDF on Windows

• In the File tab, click Export to PDF .
• Select what to export.
• Export all pages: exports the entire file to PDF.
• Export current page: exports the page you see in Preview on the right.
• Custom export: fill in a range in the field below, e.g. 1-5.
• Click Export: Navigate to destination with the resulting Windows File Explorer/Finder, click Save.

3. How to convert pages to PDF on a Mac

• Click Export: Navigate to destination with the File Explorer/Finder, click Save.

4. How to convert pages to PDF on iOS

• In the top ribbon tab, touch Home .
• Touch Convert to PDF: Navigate to destination with the File Explorer/Finder, click Save.

5. How to convert pages to PDF on Android

• Open your file
• Touch the three dots on the top-left of your screen
• Touch the To PDF  button found below.
• Save the file in the designed place, or share as needed

6. What types of file should I convert to PDF?

Using PDFs correctly means knowing when it’s best to use them, and when it’s not. Here’s when you might want to do it:

Files intended for sharing : PDFs are universally readable on almost any device with a PDF reader, which makes them a great choice for sharing files with others. This is especially important if you don’t know what software the recipient is using.

Files requiring consistent formatting : PDFs preserve the formatting of the original document, making sure that that what you see on your screen is what will be printed or seen by others. This is important for documents like resumes, brochures, legal contracts, or any document that need to make a good impression.

Final versions : If you’ve finished editing a document and want to prevent further changes, converting it to PDF is a good way to lock it down. Of course, there are software apps out there, such as PDF Extra , which let you edit a PDF, but it’s still a good indicator that a document is not intended to be edited.

Large files: PDFs can sometimes compress files to a smaller size than the original format, which can be helpful for emailing or storing documents.

Here are some examples of specific document types that you might want to convert to PDF:

• Presentations
• White papers
• Legal documents (contracts, agreements, etc.)

7. When to avoid using PDF

While PDFs are super useful, there are times where they aren’t the best option.

When content needs to be editable: PDFs are static documents, and editing them can be cumbersome. If you need something that can be easily updated, like a living document or a collaborative project, a Word document or Google Doc is a better choice. But, if you do need to edit a PDF, then PDF Extra can help you out.

For mobile viewing: PDFs can be clunky and require zooming on mobile devices. If your target audience is likely to be reading on their phones or tablets, consider a format that reflows for different screen sizes, like a web page.

For search engine optimization (SEO) : Search engines may have trouble indexing text within PDFs. If you want your content to be easily discoverable online, a web page or blog post is a better option.

For interactive content: While PDFs can include some hyperlinks, they’re not ideal for rich media or interactive elements. If you want to include videos, animations, or other engaging features, consider a different format.

8. OfficeSuite PDF: Hassle-free conversion.

In the above examples, we’ve been using OfficeSuite Documents to show how to convert pages to PDF files. The great thing is, that there’s an entire PDF app that comes in the bundle, alongside Documents , Sheets , Slides , & Mail . With OfficeSuite PDF , you get a bunch of features, including:

• Opening and Annotating PDFs:
• View PDFs: Easily open and read PDF files.
• Annotations: Add comments, drawings, stamps, or even attach entire files to collaborate with others.
• Sign Forms: Intuitively fill out forms and place signatures by typing, drawing, or inserting an image.
• Security and Sharing:
• Compress PDFs: Reduce file size for easier sharing.
• Password Protection: Secure your PDFs with passwords.
• Digital Signatures: Digitally sign PDF documents for authenticity.
• Convert PDFs to Editable Files:
• Need to edit content in a contract or tweak figures? Convert PDFs to editable Word or Excel formats, make changes, and convert back to PDF seamlessly.
• Cloud Storage and Accessibility:
• Free Cloud Storage: Store large files without cluttering your internal storage.
• Mobile Access: Enjoy easy access to your PDFs from any mobile device.

Are you…converted?

As we’ve learned, PDFs are pretty amazing, and can help you out in your daily and working life – and with the right tools, converting pages and other types of file to PDF is super easy as well.

🤗 Models on Hugging Face   | Blog   | Website   | Get Started  

Meta Llama 3

We are unlocking the power of large language models. Our latest version of Llama is now accessible to individuals, creators, researchers, and businesses of all sizes so that they can experiment, innovate, and scale their ideas responsibly.

This release includes model weights and starting code for pre-trained and instruction tuned Llama 3 language models — including sizes of 8B to 70B parameters.

This repository is intended as a minimal example to load Llama 3 models and run inference. For more detailed examples, see llama-recipes .

In order to download the model weights and tokenizer, please visit the Meta Llama website and accept our License.

Once your request is approved, you will receive a signed URL over email. Then run the download.sh script, passing the URL provided when prompted to start the download.

Pre-requisites: Make sure you have wget and md5sum installed. Then run the script: ./download.sh .

Keep in mind that the links expire after 24 hours and a certain amount of downloads. If you start seeing errors such as 403: Forbidden , you can always re-request a link.

Access to Hugging Face

We are also providing downloads on Hugging Face , in both transformers and native llama3 formats. To download the weights from Hugging Face, please follow these steps:

• Visit one of the repos, for example meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct .
• Read and accept the license. Once your request is approved, you'll be granted access to all the Llama 3 models. Note that requests used to take up to one hour to get processed.
• To download the original native weights to use with this repo, click on the "Files and versions" tab and download the contents of the original folder. You can also download them from the command line if you pip install huggingface-hub :

To use with transformers, the following pipeline snippet will download and cache the weights:

Quick Start

You can follow the steps below to quickly get up and running with Llama 3 models. These steps will let you run quick inference locally. For more examples, see the Llama recipes repository .

In a conda env with PyTorch / CUDA available clone and download this repository.

In the top-level directory run:

Visit the Meta Llama website and register to download the model/s.

Once registered, you will get an email with a URL to download the models. You will need this URL when you run the download.sh script.

Once you get the email, navigate to your downloaded llama repository and run the download.sh script.

• Make sure to grant execution permissions to the download.sh script
• During this process, you will be prompted to enter the URL from the email.
• Do not use the “Copy Link” option but rather make sure to manually copy the link from the email.

Once the model/s you want have been downloaded, you can run the model locally using the command below:

• Replace Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct/ with the path to your checkpoint directory and Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct/tokenizer.model with the path to your tokenizer model.
• The –nproc_per_node should be set to the MP value for the model you are using.
• Adjust the max_seq_len and max_batch_size parameters as needed.
• This example runs the example_chat_completion.py found in this repository but you can change that to a different .py file.

Different models require different model-parallel (MP) values:

All models support sequence length up to 8192 tokens, but we pre-allocate the cache according to max_seq_len and max_batch_size values. So set those according to your hardware.

Pretrained Models

These models are not finetuned for chat or Q&A. They should be prompted so that the expected answer is the natural continuation of the prompt.

See example_text_completion.py for some examples. To illustrate, see the command below to run it with the llama-3-8b model ( nproc_per_node needs to be set to the MP value):

Instruction-tuned Models

The fine-tuned models were trained for dialogue applications. To get the expected features and performance for them, a specific formatting defined in ChatFormat needs to be followed: The prompt begins with a <|begin_of_text|> special token, after which one or more messages follow. Each message starts with the <|start_header_id|> tag, the role system , user or assistant , and the <|end_header_id|> tag. After a double newline \n\n the contents of the message follow. The end of each message is marked by the <|eot_id|> token.

You can also deploy additional classifiers for filtering out inputs and outputs that are deemed unsafe. See the llama-recipes repo for an example of how to add a safety checker to the inputs and outputs of your inference code.

Examples using llama-3-8b-chat:

Llama 3 is a new technology that carries potential risks with use. Testing conducted to date has not — and could not — cover all scenarios. In order to help developers address these risks, we have created the Responsible Use Guide .

Please report any software “bug”, or other problems with the models through one of the following means:

• Reporting issues with the model: https://github.com/meta-llama/llama3/issues
• Reporting risky content generated by the model: developers.facebook.com/llama_output_feedback
• Reporting bugs and security concerns: facebook.com/whitehat/info

See MODEL_CARD.md .

Our model and weights are licensed for both researchers and commercial entities, upholding the principles of openness. Our mission is to empower individuals, and industry through this opportunity, while fostering an environment of discovery and ethical AI advancements.

See the LICENSE file, as well as our accompanying Acceptable Use Policy

For common questions, the FAQ can be found here which will be kept up to date over time as new questions arise.
