Question

Troubleshooting PDF to PPT conversion

Hi. I'm trying to convert a PDF to a PPT file. When I do this conversion though, the resulting PPT file is on a much longer page than how the PDF appears and about half of the length of the page is just empty white space (the page width appears fine).

 

I'm not sure how to set the page proportions correctly so that when I export the PDF, the PPT appears the correct correct width and length.

 

Could someone please advise? Thank you.

    Hi there

     

    Hope you are doing well and sorry for the trouble. As described, the resulting PPT file is on a much longer page than how the PDF appears and about half of the length of the page is just empty white space.

     

    - Would you mind sharing the steps you are doing to export the PDF to PPT?

     

    - Is this a behavior with a particular PDF file or with all the PDFs? Please try with a different PDF file  and check. If its a file specific issue, please share the original source file and the exported PPT file with us for testing.

     

    You may also try to export the PDF online using the link https://documentcloud.adobe.com/link/acrobat/export-pdf

     

    Regards

    Amal

    Hi Amal,

    Thank you for the reply. For exporting the PDF, I go to File>Export To>Microsoft PowerPoint Presentation. In the Settings, I made sure that "Include Comments" was not checked. Then I hit Save.

     

    All of the PDF conversions to PPT that I try seem to add extra blank vertical space, although not as much as this file does.

     

    I unfortunately cannot share the original source file as the information is confidential.

     

    I tried the online tool and it did the same thing.

     

    Are there settings I should change in the PDF before exporting it?

     

    Thank you.

      I am having the same issue. Have tried with Acobat Pro, updated, and have tried with the online tool. Due to the nature of the content I have placed black over the slide so you can see the issue. I'm also losing font formatting.


      Actually, now that I think about it, the font makes sense as i'm on a different machine. So if the fonts aren't on this pc it makes sense that they wouldn't show up. But the page formatting is still strange.
