How do I present a seminar outside my branch?

Different Ways to Present a Seminar

Use a Thumbnail Drive and Projector (Use JPG File)

You may use a projector that has a USB port to display JPG file. To do this:

Download the ZIP JPG file to a non-Edward Jones computer
UnZIP the file using ZIP utility software. Read our FAQs for more information.
Save the entire folder containing seminar slide JPGs to a USB thumbdrive (with available space)
Insert USB thumbdrive into the projector's USB port. Please note, Edward Jones branch computers do not provide access to USB ports.
Follow projector manufacturer instructions for displaying the presentation using JPEGs

To use this option, you will need to use a non-Edward Jones computer with internet access to download/save seminar files to a USB drve.

Note: Edward Jones branch computers are not able to use USB thumbdrives. Most Edward Jones projectors do have a working USB port.

Use a PC computer and a Projector (Use PDF File)

You may use a non-Edward Jones PC and a projector to display the PDF file outside of your branch office. For the PDF to work properly, the non-Edward Jones computer must have PDF viewing software such as Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Acrobat Reader. If the non-Edward Jones computer does not have a PDF viewer, download the PC version of Adobe Reader for free on the Adobe website.

To show an Adobe PDF seminar as a slide show follow these instructions:

Right mouse click on the PDF file for your selected seminar
Choose "Save Target As...". Be sure to save the seminar file in a directory or folder where you can easily find it later
Open the PDF file using Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Acrobat Reader
Select View on the toolbar
Select Full Screen View on the drop down menu or click "Ctrl + L"
Move through the presentation by using the up and down arrow keys on your keyboard or the Page Up and Page Down keys.
Close the presentation by pressing the Esc key on your keyboard

Save a Seminar to a CD or DVD (Use PDF File)

To save to CD or DVD, your computer must have the following:

A CD or DVD drive that is capable of writing (or burning) data to a CD or DVD. Please note, Edward Jones branch computers can not write files to CDs or DVDs.
A software program that can write the data to the disc. This software frequently comes with the drive.
There are many different drives and formats available, so we suggest following the instructions provided by the software program on how to create a CD.
