I was forced to do just that a couple weeks ago. I was in Pittsburgh giving my MS Powerpoint troubleshooting course, and the client decided I should use my (Linux) laptop instead of providing one of their (Windows) laptops. So far so good. But dim-bulb OpenOffice has no facility to set a right click as meaning "go back one page", a necessity when using an RF remote presentation mouse. A quick Google indicated there's no such setting in OpenOffice (bad OpenOffice, no venture capital!). So I used OpenOffice to convert the Powerpoint to PDF, and played the PDF in Acroread. Acroread DOES have a way to set right click to "go back a slide". Everything worked perfectly.
