Question Effective Copy Prevention

Hello everyone,
I am new here and really glad I found this interesting forum - maybe you can help me with my question below:

When I design PPT(X) presentations I usually take a lot of time and care to perfect them. That is also the reason why I am somewhat paranoid about others (colleagues, competitors etc) stealing my hard work. I particularly want to prevent others from picking detailed photos or intricate tables and just adapt them for their purposes. I dont mind so much the whole slide to be used as is.
Ideally I would do the following:
1. Prepare the original presentation in Powerpoint with large photos (usually PNGs)
2. Produce a PDF or even better print the presentation in a flattened picture format in a certain resolution (e.g. JPG slides)
3. Create a new empty Powerpoint file and one by one import the pictures from step 2 into the background of every new slide.
4. The result is a PPT(X) presentation you can not easily disect.



Can I ask the experts, if there is a more efficient way of achieving this or automating the above steps?

Any help would be gratly appreciated!

save the file using the save type Picture Presentation (scroll right down) Be aware you need to keep a normal copy as you cannot get back!

Thanks for your reply, John.

But, to be honest, I am a little lost with what you refer to.

Having my Powerpoint file open, would I use "file" "save as" ... or "file "save & send" menus? Or do you refer to something else?

Sorry, I seem to be a little slow here.

Sorry, apparently i don#t know my way around Powerpoint well enough - I found it.
I think I got confused, because it is also a *.pptx file


Thanks very much I will explore this in more detail!

Yep it's still a pptx - basically it converts slides to images. It's still possible to add "normal" slides later.
