Adobe Acrobat Pro

[julz20684]

I have a PDF file that needs to be exported to PPT for someone that does not have Acrobat Pro, therefore they can't edit the document.

Acrobat Pro does not allow for export to PPT format...is there any other format that I can export to and manipulate into a PPT file?

Will 'Pro" convert it to a .doc ?

Yes it will, but it is graphically intense and the images won't convert over and it ends up being a blank document

If the feature is available, you can TRY to save an Adobe document as a WORD file then maybe copy and paste into PowerPoint. No clue if that'd work, just a quick idea.

Nope, tried it...see my above post, but thanks anyway.

I thought the whole point of PDF was that so people could not edit the document? Wouldn't it defeat the purpose if the recipient was able to convert it back to the source format and manipulate the content ?

Yes you are correct, initially that is the purpose, however Acrobat Pro allows for editing / manipulating of PDF documents.

Could you break the components down? jpeg maybe?
By the way, how large is the pdf?

Create a new Powerpoint presentation. In Powerpoint go to the menu, select "Insert" --> "Object". In the Insert Object screen, select "Create from file", then click Browse and select your PDF.

Yes I can save out as jpeg, but it's a 257 page document thus creating 257 individual jpeg files.

But I was able to do a work around. I exported to HTML which saved each image into separate image files in a combined Image folder, then saved the text to .txt format from the HTML format.

Thanks for the help

Nevermind. I missed the fact that you wanted them to be able to edit it.

It only inserted the first page of the PDF file

Even if you copy each page to Power Point, you'll still just have images rather than an editable presentation. If the original file was PPT, you're better off just getting the original sent to the person who needs it.

Mine too, but I only tested it with a one page pdf. Create a new slide for each page :shrug:

I'm really no help, am I.

It's all good, the chick that wants it is just gonna have to deal with the image files and .txt file. I think she just wants the txt only anyway.
