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.
