Question

PDF to PPTX problem: objects elements merged into a single object

I have problems again with a pdf -> pptx conversion: after exporting, a large number of objects elements are merged into a single object:

However, when i do "edit" in the .pdf, then the different lines consist of separate elements, so the problem must be in the conversion step...

Does anyone know a solution to this? To reproduce the problem, you can find the .pdf here

(after converting to .pptx, go to slide master, because the converter also thinks that all these lines belong to the background for some weird reason).

Perhaps ApoorvM‌ knows the solution?  You helped me with an earlier, similar problem a while ago

Thanks.

Okay, for those having similar issues, i just found a solution - it's not ideal, but it works:

1. Export PDF to .ps

2. Open .ps file

3. Export to PPT

EDIT: That worked for this particular pdf, but not for another one with which i have the same problem..
