With Aspose.Slides, you simply load the presentation, configure the layout options using the [NotesCommentsLayoutingOptions](https://reference.aspose.com/slides/php-java/aspose.slides/notescommentslayoutingoptions/) class to include speaker notes, and then save the file as a PDF. The following code snippet demonstrates how to convert a sample presentation to a PDF in Notes Slide view.

```php
$presentation = new Presentation("sample.pptx");

// Configure PDF options for rendering speaker notes.
$notesOptions = new NotesCommentsLayoutingOptions();
$notesOptions->setNotesPosition(NotesPositions::BottomFull); // Render speaker notes below the slide.

$pdfOptions = new PdfOptions();
$pdfOptions->setSlidesLayoutOptions($notesOptions);

// Save the presentation to PDF with speaker notes.
$presentation->save("output.pdf", SaveFormat::Pdf, $pdfOptions);
