Good day. I would like to seek a help from you. I just made a powerpoint slide in illustrator. I copied all the elements from illustrator except text to PowerPoint. The problem is while i copy paste text from illustrator to powerpoint, it breaks up and gets corrupted. I dont want to retype the whole thing again in PowerPoint. Anyway to fix it?

    Hey, it seems like there's a few options now. You can export your illustrator document to a PDF and then use adobe acrobat to export it to a PowerPoint file. Or you can upload your file to this Adobe page: https://acrobat.adobe.com/link/acrobat/pdf-to-ppt?x_api_client_id=adobe_com&x_api_client_location=pdf_to_ppt

    There is an option (The hard way)..

    I had the same issue, so I turned all texts into outlines and they will take the correct position and size.

      If you want to the text to come across exactly as is, you'll need to convert the text to shapes first.

       

      You can do this by:

      1. Select the text you want to convert to a shape

      2. In the menu: Type > Create Outlines

       

      Now you can copy and paste it into photoshop and it will come across exactly.

      You won't be able to edit this text in powerpoint though, since it's now a shape.

      Select the text with the text tool, then copy and paste.

      If that dows not work, try and first paste it into a text editor, then copy from there and paste in Power Point.

      No i need it editable on powerpoint


      I’m afraid you’ll need to chalk this up to a learning experience. If your intended destination is Powerpoint, Illustrator is not where you want to start. You can use Illustrator graphics in your PowerPoint presentation but you can’t expect  PowerPoint which is presentation software and a Microsoft product to retain the formatting from Illustrator which is illustration software and an Adobe product.
