Why not save the PowerPoint as HTML? Assuming they have a browser available,
you have almost no work to do except zip up the resulting files or post them
on the intranet. Your readers just need to click the first one and off they
go.
First, add the minutes to each slide on the Notes page. Then create your
HTML including the Notes. You can also add the minutes to the Notes page and
then save/print as PDF with the print options set to Notes Pages.

I have about 30 pages of meeting minutes from an RF Summit held here at our
headquarters. I also have the PowerPoint slides that the various presenters
used. My audience (field technicians) doesn't have PowerPoint, but does have
Word and Acrobat Reader. They may print the final output, but more than
likely most will use their laptops to view the electronic version.

I've been asked to create a compilation of the minutes and slides so that
those technicians who didn't make it to the conference (probably 90% of the
total) can review what was discussed/decided. They would like to have this
available by Friday.
