Print handouts using Adobe Reader

When you print handouts, PowerPoint for the web makes a PDF copy of your presentation file. With most PDF viewers, you'll get one slide per page with no headers or footers. However, if you use the latest version of Adobe Reader, you can print 2 or more slides per page.
