Exporting PDF to PowerPoint Error: The specified file could not be written to. It may be in use.

[ZakCandao]

I have 98 pages PDF doc and trying to export it as a PowerPoint and gives me an error stating "The specified file could not be written to. It may be in use."

It will create a PowerPoint file but once you open it, there is an error dialogue that states "There's not enough memory or system resources to start PowerPoint."

Installed RAM in my system is 32 GB/ 64-bit System Type

I tried renaming the save file, re-starting/rebooting, make sure to app is open except Acrobat, saving the file on a different folder and NOTHING works.

Anyone has a solution?

Are you writing the file to a network drive? If yes, try with local storage. If that does not work, break down your PDF to a few slides and try that. I am not convinced that you have a memory issue, but that PowerPoint is showing the wrong error message.

Thanks Abambo.  I am saving the file locally.  I split the PDF into 4 separate files and it converted it to PPT.  It's probably PowerPoint that's having issues with large PDFs.

You're welcome. I assume that breaking up the process in smaller chunks solwed the issue?
