======================================
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused to you, just for checking, please open this PPTX file in MS PowerPoint application, save it to a PDF file by manual, can you work fine by this method?

Also, what version of MS PowerPoint application installed in your system? Is it MS PowerPoint 2010 or MS PowerPoint 2007+PDF&XPS SaveAs addon?
