if you want to create a handout of a
google slides presentation
you can either print a hard copy or
export a pdf
in this video we will explore both
options
first go to file print settings and
preview
the default is to have each slide be one
page
to change this open the drop down menu
if you want to include the presentation
notes you can pick the option
with notes i'm going to take a look at
some of the alternative handout options
three slides per page provides a
note-taking column within the handout
which could help those attending a
training or lecture
the option of nine slides per page may
be hard to read as a handout for the
audience
but could be useful to presenters to see
an overview of their presentation
four slides per page helps to
consolidate the number of slides to
fewer pages and is easier to read
depending on the option you choose you
can see if landscape or portrait mode
formats the slides better for legibility
hide background is a feature that helps
to decrease the amount of ink used to
print a handout
it hides the theme background from the
printed slides
but you can still see images as well as
text with darker font colors
one disadvantage is that a presentation
with lighter font colors
will have unreadable text since the
background is now white if you'd rather
save a local copy
select download as pdf it will appear as
a local file
within the downloads folder on your
computer
let's click on print the options that
you have selected will show up on the
preview screen
click the drop down arrow to pick an
option you can choose a printer
save as pdf to your computer or save as
pdf to your google drive
adding more pages per sheet is an option
that we don't necessarily recommend
instead it's better to use the slides
per page option that we introduced
earlier
because it is specifically designed for
creating handouts
there are three ways to print if you do
not need specialized options
first there is an icon you can click on
the toolbar
second you can use the keyboard shortcut
of control p
or command p if you are on a mac lastly
you can
go to file then select print
printing a google slides presentation is
easy with the options and features
available to you
whether you want to have a hard copy or
create a pdf
google slides has both options for you
to use
