You have a stack of PDF reports or handouts, and someone wants them as editable slides. Retyping every page is slow, and copying text out of a PDF usually wrecks the layout. VeryPDF PDF to PowerPoint Converter is a Windows program that turns PDF files into PPT presentations you can edit.

Key features
Convert many PDFs to PPT in one run
The program supports batch conversion. It reads PDF versions 1.0 to 1.8. You can add files by drag and drop and pick a page range, so you don't have to convert a whole document when you only need a few pages.
Pick how closely the slides follow the original layout
There are three reconstruction modes. One keeps the original layout of the text. Another flows text into text boxes. The third rebuilds the page layout in the PPT exactly as it appears in the PDF.
Keep images and links, or drop the images
The converter preserves images, graphics, hyperlinks and colors from the PDF. If you only want the words, you can delete the images during conversion and get a text-only PPT. The text in the result is editable.
Open protected PDFs without extra tools
It handles encrypted PDFs, including owner-password and open-password files. It runs on its own and doesn't need Adobe Acrobat or Reader.
Use it in your own language
The interface supports English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Swedish, Danish, Dutch, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Czech, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Japanese and Korean.
Who it's for
It suits you if you regularly turn PDF handouts, reports or lecture notes into slides and want a desktop tool on Windows instead of an online uploader. It also fits you if you work with password-protected files or need to convert a folder of documents at once.
