Look at the text and formatting of the slides that have been exported over, just to make sure that there are no problems – in particular with text and images.You have the option to delete or edit these. Open the exported document in Power Point and it shows the file ready for editing and the PDF annotation will not appear as “speaker notes” that are editable.Now the great thing about the new XI version of Adobe Acrobat is that it enables the files exported over from PDF into the Power Point presentation to be fully editable (*.pptx files), this is how you go about editing once the files have been exported across: Then select the location where you would like to save your exported Power Point file and select by clicking on “Save”.You can additionally change the language of the OCR settings. Choose “Include Comments” to ensure any comments that were detailed in the PDF document are carried into the PowerPoint document/file.These settings control the more in-depth features of the PDF document to Power Point process of exporting. At this point you can select “Settings” and the PPTX settings box will open up. The from the content editing menu click on Export File to… > Microsoft PowerPoint Presentation.You then need to decide if you want to convert the full PDF file, or if perhaps you just want to convert selected pages of the PDF. To convert only certain slides, expand the page selector menu on the left hand side, and select only the PDF pages you want to transfer by holding CTRL and selecting the pages you need.Select “ Content Editing” the Editing sub menu will expand.On the right hand side click on the Tools tab this opens up the side menu.Select ‘open’ and browse to the PDF that you want to transfer back over to Power Point.Open Adobe Acrobat XI Pro the main window will open up.This is a step by step guide on how to do it: This Adobe PDF convertor has a whole stack of great features, but the one in particular (that I didn’t even know it could do until recently!) that I find useful is converting PDF slides into an editable PowerPoint presentation. If it’s something you need to do regularly, then it’s worth investing in a paid version, and my software of choice is Adobe Acrobat XI. There are some free ones available, all of which have their limitations, but can be good for one off jobs. If you search the internet, you will find there are a number of PDF converters available out there. Of course, the obvious way to do this is to manually copy type the information from one document to another, but in my opinion as VAs, it’s our role to get the job done as quickly and efficiently as possible, and to that end, we never do things manually if there’s a piece of software to do it for us! I recently found myself in the awkward position of having to convert files from PDF into a Power Point presentation, and it can be tricky! There will be a time in your VA career where you are faced with copy typing or transferring information from a PDF into another type of document.
