Free PDF to Powerpoint Converter's main objective is to ease the transition between a PDF file and a Powerpoint file, making it easier to present the content in PDF documents.

The bane of any person whose job regularly requires using presentations is converting among different file formats. There's no exact standard on how to format presentations, so many people output file types on a whim. PowerPoint is generally regarded as the standard for group presentations in person, so it can be important to convert PDF files to Powerpoint files. This tool is a simple one-click tool, but it's also missing options some presenters might find crucial.

The tool is very easy to use: simply hit "Add", then browse to the PDF file you would like to convert. Note that this tool is known to have problems with password protected/secured PDF files, so make sure that you have manually removed encryption and passwords before converting. Then click "Convert", and the output will be placed into whatever directory the user specified under "Settings".

The conversion speed is acceptable and the program generally works well. However, there is no option to convert multiple files at once or merge files. This could be a problem if the user has several PDF files to put into one presentation. The tool is most useful when there is a single PDF file that needs to be converted as-is to a PowerPoint. PDF files can sometimes get cut off due to the different natures of PowerPoint files and PDF files.
