Wouldn't it be easier just to convert the powerpoint presentation into a quicktime movie (a built in ability of powerpoint for mac OS X)? It's cross platform and since you say it does not need any input from the user, this sounds like the best way. Acrobat is really just a digital "paper replacement" (that's why companies like micro$haft are no longer making paper manuals and instead tell people to read the .pdf). Oh, and the other bonus is you don't have to plonk lost of cash out for Director.
There is also a free powerpoint reader that one could put on the cd so people without powerpoint could still see the presentation. There are other alternatives, but see how this one goes first I guess would be the best....
