Converting PDF to PPT

[Guest]

Does anyone know how to convert a PPT that was saved as a PDF back to a PPT?

Thanks!

Spyder,

You can't really convert it back, but you have some options:

1) Save the PDF as a jpg or png file, then batch import them into PowerPoint
2) Use the snapshot tool in Adobe to copy slides in your PDF and paste them
into each slide in PowerPoint.

way to convert the content to editable PPT content?

Thanks,
Jeff

Steve Rindsberg ( I think) once said "converting a ppt to a pdf is like
taking steak and making meat pie, getting back to a ppt is like trying to
make the meat pie back into steak!"

Just love that

Correct. See John's comment : ).

If you have the master template in PowerPoint you can copy the text using
the Adobe text tool then Paste Special in the PowerPoint text boxes.

Stew, I think. And I stole it from Aandi Inston over on your side of the
Atlantic.
