This week in PDF has seen an update to a tool that can convert PDF slideshows for viewing on iPods and the release of a moderate volume scanning solution.
First up, ZappTek has announced an update to its slideshow-to-iPod utility. iPresent It version 2.2 functions on Macintosh OS X and can be used to convert PowerPoint, PDF or Keynote presentations into slideshows that are synchronized with iPod units. This makes the product well-suited for doing presentations on the go, allowing users to present without needing to carry a bulkier laptop. The new version optimizes slideshows for viewing via an iPod, iPhone or Apple TV, creates slideshow images from Keynote, PowerPoint or PDF presentations, and can preview slides as they're converted into a slideshow.
