PowerPoint Batch Export Automation Script, with transparency intact.
📌 Purpose
This AppleScript automates the batch export of all currently open PowerPoint presentations, allowing multiple exports to run in parallel without manual intervention. Instead of processing one file at a time and waiting for it to finish, this script switches between open windows, enabling PowerPoint to handle multiple exports in the background,
🔹 Use Case
Ideal for users who frequently export multiple PowerPoint presentations to PDF or other formats.
Helps automate repetitive export tasks, reducing manual work.
Optimized for speed by allowing exports to run in parallel rather than sequentially.
Useful for designers, educators, and professionals who need to convert multiple PowerPoint files quickly.
🛠️ How It Works
Runs through all open PowerPoint presentations.
Opens the “Eksporter…” (Export) menu for each presentation.
Presses Enter to confirm export.
Switches to the next open PowerPoint window, allowing the previous export to continue in the background.
Repeats until all open presentations are exported.
📖 Instructions for Use
Open multiple PowerPoint presentations that you want to export.
Run the script.
The script will automatically trigger exports and switch to the next open document, allowing PowerPoint to handle multiple exports simultaneously.
Once complete, you will find the exported files in the designated location (as defined by PowerPoint’s default settings).
