## Convert PPS to PDF in Python

[Aspose.Slides for Python via Java](/slides/python-java/) can convert a PowerPoint Show (`.pps`) file to a PDF document without Microsoft PowerPoint. PDF output is suitable for sharing, printing, and archiving because it preserves the rendered appearance of the slides across devices.

For a straightforward conversion, load the PPS file with `Presentation` and call `save` with `SaveFormat.Pdf`. PDF export options can be supplied when the output requires settings such as image quality, compliance level, or selected slide ranges.

## How to Convert PPS to PDF in Python

Load the source PPS file into a `Presentation`, then save it with `SaveFormat.Pdf`.
