As stated clearly on the title. I'm trying to convert a PDF file which is clearly made from a PPT back to PPT format.
Googled half a day, tired and I need help.

According to this guy, its near impossible he said : http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00054.htm

I don't want to let you down. But so far I never heard a converted from PDF to PPT. Even if you can convert, it won't work as the original document you created using power point.

It's impossible. Totally different file formats. Even though you've converted it to ".PPT" (PowerPoint), you'll lose all the formatting.

yea i know, so far everything i read pointed to its impossible. who knows a guy out there somewhere got a perfect trick of doing just that

Neither me or Uncle Google knows anyone who can do the trick.

pdf is more like document files(ms word)
why dont you just copy and paste from the pdf instead and make new ppt file

I've tried it. It doesn't work.

i mean just highlight the text and copy it.
make new ppt and paste the text

I can convert from any format to DOC file though. From there you'll have to convert it to PPT. High chance you'll lose some if not alot of formatting.

So, Ermm; actually, there is a way to do it. Just requires $$$. And the result's not exactly 100% perfect. I've got a copy of the software that can do this. But it's licensed though; so I can't give it to you.

And if that doesn't work; I've got other software that might work better on images if you just want to use the images. But if you wanted to; you might as well just copy and paste the screenshot.

What it is you're converting? Might well be better off typing or re-doing it.

May be u can share the name of the software? ya the thing is its more than text n formatting, there's graphics and stuff.

Bro, mind sharing the name of the software, thanks in advance.

Perfect solution is this



Copy slide by slide from the PDF file as "image"


and paste into Powerpoint slide by slide.






If you have no intention of modification

I'm sure that most people would require to modify once they convert ".PDF" files to easily edit program file type
