== Convert to PDF ==

First and easiest thing to do is to convert the PowerPoint to a PDF document.

If you Microsoft Office 2010 or greater, you can "save as" as a PDF document. https://support.office.com/en-ca/article/Save-as-PDF-or-XPS-d85416c5-7d77-4fd6-a216-6f4bf7c7c110#bm7

Alternately if you don't have this version of office there are many free on-line tools which can help:

== Upload the item ==

Once you have your PDF the easiest option is to have it ready to go on your desktop. Open the page you want to put your PDF on.

If you have the right permissions you will find a button at the bottom of the page called "Add Media to this Page".

Click on this. On the next screen, browse to the PDF on your desktop and click upload.

After the PDF has been uploaded you will be presented a screen as follows. There is nothing to update on this screen at the moment, just click "Edit Asset"

Next page has a number of links, choose "View the Page"

Now you can see your PowerPoint displaying on the page.

N.B. You must have Adobe Acrobat reader installed in order to view the document in the browser. You can get Adobe Reader here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/

== Making the content searchable ==

The content within the PDF is protected. It stops it being searchable by default. We need to extract the text and make it searchable.

The process for this is quite easy. Again in the original PowerPoint choose Save As and this time choose the type "Outline / RTF". (3rd from bottom in the image). This will give you a Word type document on your desktop.

When you open it up, you'll have your text. We need to select all of this (Ctrl and A then Ctrl and C).

Now we go into bxp again and we are going to add the searchable keywords to the PowerPoint.

''Main Menu > eCourse Management > Asset Management > Asset - Make Uploaded File searchable > Locate your asset > You will see the screen below or similar''

Paste in the words from the RTF document

Click "Add Searchable Words". Now your PowerPoint is searchable through the system. You can manipulate what words to include / not include through this process.

To search your content, pick a specific word you know was added e.g. in our example the word in the bottom right... type in ... preliminary and then hit return on the keyboard

You should get your content as one of the items if it matches
