Key features
Convert a whole folder of PDFs to PPT in one run
The program supports batch conversion. You can add files by drag and drop and choose a page range, so you convert only the slides you need.
Pick how the layout is rebuilt with three reconstruction modes
There are three reconstruction modes. They keep the original text layout, flow text into text boxes, or rebuild the layout to match the PDF.
Get editable slides that keep your images, links and colors
The converted content is editable. Images, graphics, hyperlinks and colors carry over from the PDF. If you want a lean file, you can delete the images during conversion and get a text-only PPT.
Open protected PDFs without a separate unlock step
It handles encrypted PDFs, including owner-password and open-password files.
Work in your own language
Supported languages include 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 receive PDFs that need to become presentations and you want a standalone desktop tool that doesn't depend on Adobe software. It also fits people who convert many files at once.
