+The records clerk, Marco, will reject files that lose table structure. Convert the [powerpoint] and [excel] files to separate [pdfs] that retain slide notes and Excel tables as selectable text, ensure page breaks are sensible for printing, and add the original filename and last-modified date on the first page.

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment
+Compliance asked me to archive [N=18] PowerPoints, [N=3] Word proposals, and [N=2] Excel workbooks as [pdfs] for a five-year retention window. I’m unsure which original elements must remain searchable versus which can be flattened. Advise which conversion settings to use for long-term record retention, what metadata to capture on the PDF, and whether to create one package or separate PDFs to satisfy audit requests without overcomplicating retrieval.
