Utility to convert a PDF slideshow to Powerpoint PPTX.
Renders each page as a PNG image and creates the resulting Powerpoint slideshow from these images. Useful when you want to use Powerpoint to present a set of PDF slides (e.g. slides from Beamer). You can then use the presentation capabilities of Powerpoint (notes, ink on slides, etc.) with slides created in LaTeX.
I use this to present PDF slides on a Surface Pro so that I can annotate them with a stylus as I present.
Uses PyMuPDF and python-pptx to do the hard work.
pip install pdf2pptxThe following will create a slides.pptx file from a slides.pdf file.
pdf2pptx slides.pdfRun pdf2pptx --help for more info on the command line interface.
