Key features
Batch conversion of PDF 1.0 to 1.8 files into PPT
You can convert many files in one run. Input formats range from Adobe PDF 1.0 to 1.8, so older and newer documents are covered.
Three reconstruction modes for different layouts
You choose how the slides are rebuilt. One mode keeps the original arrangement of the text. Another flows text into text boxes. A third reconstructs the page layout to match the PDF.
Editable slides that keep images, links and colors
The resulting PPT content is editable. Original images, graphics, hyperlinks and colors are preserved. If you only want the words, you can delete the images during conversion and get a text-only presentation.
Opens password-protected PDFs
It handles encrypted PDFs, including owner-password and open-password files.
Page ranges, drag and drop, and many languages
You can pick a page range and add files by drag and drop. 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 anyone who regularly turns finished PDFs into slides: teachers reusing handouts, analysts repurposing reports, or office staff with a backlog of documents. It is also a fit if your PDFs are protected and you want to convert them without extra steps. You don't need Adobe Acrobat or Reader installed, because it is a standalone program.
