You have a PDF full of charts, diagrams and bullet points, and someone wants it as a slide deck by tomorrow. Retyping it is out of the question, and copy-pasting from a PDF usually wrecks the layout. VeryPDF PDF to PowerPoint Converter turns the PDF into an editable PPT file, so you can change the slides instead of rebuilding them.

Key features
Convert whole folders of PDFs to PPT in one run
The program supports batch conversion, so you can queue several PDFs and let it work. You can also drag and drop files to add them.
Pick the reconstruction mode that suits your document
There are three reconstruction modes. One keeps the original layout of the text, one flows text into text boxes, and one rebuilds the layout to match the original PDF. Choose the one that gives you the cleanest slides for the document in front of you.
Get editable slides that keep images, colors and hyperlinks
The converted content is editable. The converter also preserves the original images, graphics, hyperlinks and colors from the PDF.
Make a text-only deck when you don't need the pictures
You can delete the images during conversion. That gives you a text-only PPT, which suits a PDF that is mostly an outline or notes.
Convert protected PDFs and only the pages you need
It handles encrypted PDFs, both owner-password and open-password protected. Page range selection lets you convert just the section you want.
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 reports, handouts or proposals as PDFs and need to reuse them as slides. It also suits you if you want a Windows desktop tool that works offline and doesn't depend on Adobe Acrobat or Reader. If you only convert a file now and then, the trial and the refund policy let you test it on your own documents first.
