1. What is the difference between PDF and PPT files?<\/h2>\n

Both PDF and PPT files are meant to be presented. But they are different in their concepts.<\/p>\n

PDF files are great for presenting on any type of device and are easily sharable. They are great for print and despite their flaws, they are still not obsolete – and they can’t be. I can’t recall many other formats that look decent both on the web and on paper. However, there are times when the flaws come to the forefront and editing is one of them. While editing PDF files is not impossible, you might have some trouble completing that task.<\/p>\n

The most common case when you have to change the PDF content is when you have made a typo. In other cases, you need to update some data. This is where PowerPoint’s native format comes in.<\/p>\n

We can all agree that PowerPoint files are easier to edit and present than PDFs. Let’s see the options that we have to convert PDF files into PowerPoint slides.<\/p>\n

2. How to convert PDF to PowerPoint free of charge?<\/h2>\n

While file conversion websites are a lot these days, you will soon find out that there aren’t many options to convert your PDF files for free. And quite honestly, if it’s a one-off task, who needs to pay $10 for the sake of a single file?<\/p>\n

Probably the best scenario possible is to have a standard Google Slides or PowerPoint presentation that is in PDF format. Let’s see how to do it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 1. Open PowerPoint<\/h5>\n

The first thing to do is to open PowerPoint on your computer. You can do it on both web and desktop versions but we prefer the desktop, as it has more functions.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 2. Select “File” from the navigation menu<\/h5>\n

Once you click on the File<\/strong> button, you should see the navigation menu on the left, as well as a screen with templates, and a search bar, and by default, you will see which are the recent files that are opened.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 3. Pick “Open”<\/h5>\n

It’s the third option from top to bottom. Once you press it, you will have an option to open a file from your computer, shared files, or your personal files from OneDrive.<\/p>\n

\"Open<\/a><\/p>\n

Step 4. Open the file<\/h5>\n

When you choose the PDF file you’d like to open, you just click on it, and voila – it is already in your PowerPoint slides.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 5. Save the file<\/h5>\n

After you open the file, you can decide to save it in another format, duplicate it, or edit it. No matter what you do, don’t forget to save the file in one of the relevant formats (which are a lot!).<\/p>\n
