You can produce a ps file (and use ps2pdf to convert it to pdf) to
allow others to read the presentation, or you can convert individual

I use cmd-tab to switch to other applications (this is a built-in
feature of os x starting in 10.3, I believe. It's available as an
add-on in earlier versions of the os).
