PDF TO PPT

[Guest]

I have a requirement which require PDF to be converted to PPT - I have seen
the solution which convert PDF pages into images and past them into PPT - but
I need to preserve the text boxes, position, graphics and all so that the
text can be edited within PPT if required. Is anybody aware of a tool which
can do this or is it even possible to do?

regards
AJ

It certainly isn't simple, if it's possible at all.

The usual explanation is that it's a bit like the difference between stew and
stew ingredients. It's fairly easy to go from raw ingredients to stew. It's
another matter to start with stew and make raw ingredients.

Still, it's worth a search on Google, or more specifically at places like
www.planetpdf.com for software that might help.

Or consider this:

Some apps like Illustrator and Corel Draw can open PDFs and edit them. Once
it's in either of those, you could export to EMF, WMF or other format for
insertion into PPT.
