    PDF to Powerpoint

    My teacher has powerpoint slides, but only as PDF. I looked and saw a couple of programs that can do a conversion but they're not free and the torrents I saw didn't have any comments, so I'm a bit weary of downloading them.

    That being said, is there a free program for this or does anyone have a download they know is reliable for one of the pay versions?

    Are you actually trying to edit the slides? Or are you trying to import it so you can show the presentation on your laptop?

    If it's the later, you may be able to get by using a JPG/PNG printer, and them import the images into powerpoint.

    Or he can download the consumer preview for office 2013 which supports pdf conversion. All you need CS is a live ID (@hotmail/live/outlook). It doesn't take long to install also. It's probably my fav office suite right now. Not sure if it does pdf to PP but I know it does pdf to word which you'll copy over to PP. Check it out see if it works.

    First things first is it really depends on what you are going to do with the PPT. Do you need it editable? Every converter does things differently. Also the original format of the pdf needs to be taken into consideration. Is the text selectable on the original? or is it basically an image in pdf format. Depending on how the original is set up can greatly change how you handle conversion. In all honesty there may be no perfectly quick way to get it done. Try office 15/2013 cus yea its pretty awesome.

    Yea, need it editable. Basically I like to have it up during lecture and just bold shit she says important so I don't have to write it down lol or print the PDF and bring all those papers and a highlighter, yet alone pay to print the shit.

    Will give previous suggestions a shot
