I too, have converted PowerPoint presentations in this way. Although I
usually have to mess iwth page size/orientation to get it right.
Practice making a .pdf of one page until you get all your settings right
(to save time). Also, if you set the open options to full screen mode,
you have an almost exact duplicate of the presentation. This way, I
don't have to mess with putting the PowerPoint viewer on our CD-ROM we
distribute.

Another interesting thing I've done (twice): we have another company's
(that we're a reseller for) Macromedia Director show that we can't
alter. But I put a few "intro pages" in a reader presentation format
(full screen) that has our company's info, then a page action to launch
the .exe file of the Director show, then more acrobat pages after it
quits. It ends up looking like one continious presentation!
