Flat Pack for Mac

Flat Pack for Mac is a PowerPoint add-in that flattens your slides into images and creates secured, encrypted PDFs straight from PowerPoint for Mac. It gives you the same kind of PDF protection you’d get from Adobe Acrobat Pro, without leaving PowerPoint. It’s for Teachers Pay Teachers (TPT) sellers and teachers on Mac who want to protect a PowerPoint resource before they share or sell it.

Flat Pack for Mac is its own product with its own license. It is not the same as the Windows version, and the two licenses are not interchangeable.

Flat Pack for Mac is sold only on the Bearwood Labs website, not on TPT.

The current version is v1.4.0. You need Microsoft PowerPoint 2016 or newer installed.

  • Install: download, install, and load the add-in into PowerPoint end to end.
  • Apple Silicon setup: the Rosetta step every M1–M4 Mac needs. Do this or Flat Pack won’t work.
  • Getting started: flatten your first PowerPoint and make your first secured PDF.
  • FAQ & fixes: output problems, the Secured Files folder, licensing, and common errors.
