This may produce unacceptable results where coloured text or graphics in the slide is affected by the background.

The PDF of the slides without a background can be placed on top, overprinting if necessary. Send these files to someone with InDesign who will be able to enlarge the background on its own to bleed off. Make a PDF of both sets, as well as one with just the background. Produce your slides with the chosen background, then produce another copy without the background. If you really need bleed here is how I would do it. The margins are either left white or filled with a compatible flat colour to bleed off. Usually in these cases I reduce the size of the PowerPoint PDF within generous margins on the page. It is not even a postscript program, although it can produce acceptable PDFs if you use the right settings (basically all quality and size options on max). PowerPoint is not meant to produce artwork for professional printing. Printing to spreads and applying bleed, as far as I’m aware these aren’t features of PowerPoint, am I right in saying that?

It probably also bears mention that this info is not applicable unless you intend to rebuild the slide compositions for commercial printing, and of no consequence if you’re just handing off a PPT file anyway. Images pasted to slides could still result in 2 files, but they’d be essentially the same size and weight. It’s worth noting that the above only applies to images imported to Powerpoint using the Insert > Picture command. The resulting images folder would contain the 2 copies of each image. The secret for getting at the closeted-away original was to save the PPT as HTML+images. It’s been a while, so whether this applies to the latest version(s) is uncertain, but historically, images set on Powerpoint slides would result in 2 image files one copy at the original size and resolution, and a second purpose-written copy that Powerpoint displays on the slide (at the scaled-in-Powerpoint size, if applicable, at ‘screen’ resolution).

But I’m doubting the resolution of the images in the slides is all that high either.
