Publishing PPT to PDF is usually OK, but the resultant PDF usually falls into the 'don't even think about converting' bucket.

Y'know, Red, seriously....depending on this person's budget, s/he might be better off hiring a company like ours (not saying, use us, I just mean, a professional conversion house) to convert from PDF. They'd scan and OCR the PDF, and you'd end up with a good final product. It would of course cost more than DIY, but I've tried, myself, to export slides, yadda, and man, the clean up was ONEROUS, and remember: I do this type of clean-up for a living. Or, I ought to say, I used to do it daily. Now I mostly push paper for my company, but I can still regex and clean with some skill. What I remember most about my attempt was that all the headings, etc., were BOLLIXED.
I ended up putting the Word output file into outline view, and used that to do my cleanup, to get consistent styles set on everything. Then I regexed it to hell and gone, to assign para styles to the heading styles (that outline view uses).
So...that would be my DIY suggestion. For a really good result, I'd probably say, this might be best left to professionals. I don't always say that, despite what some folks might think, but some things really are.
