PDFPoint is a new way of producing presentations and distributing them using Adobe's Portable Document Format (PDF) format, or Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) for the Internet. This means that you can give a copy of your presentation to anyone without having to worry about whether they will be able to view it, since the Acrobat Reader and SVG-enabled browsers are both free and ubiquitous.
PDFPoint has a simple, easy-to-use user interface which shows your document in such a way as to look like the output it will produce. Objects and groups of objects are dragged onto the work area from the stencil to the left, and can be saved by dragging them back onto the stencil.

Objects and groups can be moved and resized “in place”, and can be edited more extensively using a Properties dialogue. There are numerous other useful features to do with managing the multiple slides necessary for a presentation, and advanced object techniques.
Even more complicated things such as applying gradient fills to objects, or creating a navigation tree to help your customers find their way around, are made extremely easy while maintaining flexibility.
PDF files can be read by almost anyone with a computer, and with GZIP compression producing small file sizes, PDFPoint is ideal for producing slide shows, online photo albums or presentations and emailing them to friends and colleagues, or leaving them on a website available for quick downloads.
Increasingly, SVG is becoming a common graphics medium on the Internet, and more and more web users are using SVG-enabled browsers. With SVG being a vector format and therefore offering extremely high quality, it is becoming a de facto standard for professional Internet graphics.
