When saving a PowerPoint presentation as PDF, you may experience all charts and tables exported with UpSlide changing size.
Issue
When saving a document, the table in PowerPoint (fig. A) would look smaller after saving as PDF (fig. B).

This problem happens when changing the display settings by connecting to an external monitor or changing the primary screen scaling. Any export from Excel to PowerPoint made until you next log out will present this issue.
Impacted versions:
- UpSlide: all versions
- Windows: starts from Windows 10
- Office: 2010, 2013, 2016
Workaround
You can log out and log back into your Windows session, then update all links before converting to PDF.
Another solution would be to change UpSlide's export settings:
- Go to UpSlide > Settings > Export.
- Change Appearance to 'As shown when printed'. You may need to uncheck Use Team settings checkbox to change this setting.
- Restart Excel, Word and/or PowerPoint.
