Exporting selected Power Point Slides to a PDF

Hello

I am trying to export only selected slides of my PowerPoint document into a PDF document. I have a fairly long PDF document and I want to make it into 4-5 separate PDF's.

I looked through some tutoriels online and they talk about export to PDF, then option to select only selected slides, but I don't see this option at all on my desktop version (mac) nor the online cloud version.

Please advise

    In PowerPoint for Mac:

    1. Choose File>Print.
    2. Click on Custom Range, then enter the slides to print, separated by commas. This will print slides 1 and 3: 1,3
    3. Click on PDF>Save as PDF.
    4. Give the PDF a name and click on the Save button.

    Another option:

    You can select only the slides you want to include (using either the Thumbnails in Normal View or in Slide Sorter View), use File> Print & click the option for Selected Slides then click PDF> Save as PDF.

    I believe the tutorials you're referring to apply only to the Windows versions of PowerPoint. Most of what you find on the web doesn't take Mac into consideration unless it's expressly stated in the resource. When using the File> Export method on a Mac there is no option to include only specific slides.
